I can not believe how quickly time passes down here! Here are the new firsts for the month; We drove from the very top to the very bottom of the ward all in one day. Our Relief Society President lives in a very nice place right on Lake Livingston, which is 45 minutes north of us. One of the Elder's investigators had a lesson at his grandma's store which is right on the bottom of our ward about 35 minutes south of us. We had the first death of a ward member, a sweet guy we'd visited in the hospital and then at his home just the week before. We taught Gospel Doctrine Class for the first time. Elder Quincy made it to help teach Preschool for the first time. We visited RV members who came from Utah and travel back and forth between their kids there and in Florida. Brianna was baptized! Her grandma and mom gave the talks and her great uncle came all the way from Dallas to baptize her! We set up 2 temple trips with sisters in the ward who haven't been for a long time!! We get to go to a session that way! We had our first sleep over at Jenny's house last night. Dean and Jane have been begging us to stay over, and they were out of school for Columbus day today and we had our FHE for last night cancel, so we headed down and got to see Jason's family too! This has got to be the best mission ever!
Elder Johnson got to come from Orange, Texas for the baptism! 
Another trip to the temple to trade garments for a bigger size.
More churches.
Long drive back from up north!
These Baptist churches look a lot like our's, except for the billboards out front.
Cleveland started out as a logging, timber, milling place. This is the main place still in business.
Lake Livingston.
The Golds, the Relief Society President and her good husband. He spends 2 hours on the lake 6 days a week. His goal is to catch 1,000 fish this year (he never keeps any of them). You can't tell from the picture, but they have parking for 30 cars and bunking for all of their kids and grandkids!
Another storm coming!
The Stuver's RV.
This is about a third of this house's yard and Halloween decorations.
More progress on Br. Bright's dome shed.
Fall brings these pretty yellow flowers growing beside the road.
I tried to get both varieties of them.
Sydney doing her princess walk down Jenny's staircase.
Alice.
Dean.
These 4 are obsessed with my tablet.
Not these 3!
These girls are going to be besties!
Apparently I only got this shot of Jenny's cute new haircut!
I asked Jane to get some pictures of Richard doing crossfit while I fed the baby this morning and she got quite a few got shots.
I especially like this one!
More churches.
Brianna's mom and grandma with her.
