Well this week was pretty good. We were able to go to the temple on Tuesday. That's always a neat experience. It's crazy to think that I only have 2 more temple trips left on my mission! Dang time flies by. Then we were able to stop by the beach on the way home and get to breathe in some of that "ocean breeze." Haha it really just smells like fishy water. But it is a nice fresh feeling. We also stopped to eat at In-N-Out on the way back. And while we were there I realized that I have eaten at In-N-Out at least once a week on my mission. Not even joking. Everybody eats it here. We also get to go back to the temple on Saturday to help put up the Christmas lights for the holidays. Should be fun.
Johnathan is still doing good. He still hasn't gotten permission from his step dad. They aren't on very good terms and he doesn't want to meet with us. But we are still able to meet with Johnathan at least. He has an assignment to help out with the activities in the ward now.
We met with Douglas a few times this week. We are still trying to figure out how accountable he is. It's hard to tell. He also didn't come to church yesterday. So if we don't see any progression with him this next week we will probably have to drop him.
We picked up a new guy named Anthony. He has been taught by the missionaries before and wasn't very ready at that time. But he seems like it now! We were able to explain some of the things he didn't understand from before and he looked really excited. He is a little nervous to commit to coming to church. But is reading and praying. So if he keeps that up, naturally he will want to come with us to church.
Well it is HALLOWEEN!!!!! I am excited for today. Elder Nokes and I have planned this out for a couple weeks and we have the day packed. Our Pday is also for the whole day, just because we aren't allowed to proselyte on Halloween. So we have a Murder Mystery planned with lunch and games. We started off today with the sunrise on top of Double Peak! It was beautiful. I will try to take a lot of pictures. But that's about it. Love you guys!

Oh! Also Elder Dallin H. Oaks will be visiting us on November 19th! So that will be cool.
