I went to the Houston Temple this morning. It was about a 2 hour drive over there. We tried to make the 8:00 session but we were just a few minutes too late. We went to the 9:00 session. The Houston Temple is pretty.
I can't believe it's almost Halloween again! It doesn't
seem like all that long ago I was cashiering at Target, packing candy into procrastinator's
grocery bags on Halloween night, lol.
My companion says the Mission Prez
makes us stay in our apartments all evening on Halloween. I'm
looking forward to it because I don't have hardly any time at
all to just read and study.
My companion will probably try to make me
use that time to clean the apartment; he's a neat-freak. It's his only
bad attribute.
That's exciting to hear about your London trip! You'll
have to send me pictures. Remember, though, we're still going to
visit Jon and Hillary when I get back!
Did I tell you I met another person named Catriel
last week? Her name was spelled with a "K" instead of a "C," but it was
still cool to meet another person with that name. I never thought that
would happen, ever.
[The Real Catriel :) ]
I'm really sorry I haven't been able to get any written
mail out. I literally have NO TIME AT ALL to even write letters. That's
why it's taking so long. :P I am trying my best to find time to work
on all that though.
Tell Sister Brower I did get the letter from Logan; it was very funny!

| This is a sign on a street outside the library. You can't see it in this picture, but there are more signs on that street than I've ever seen on any street before---hahaha. |

I laughed at this apartment patio because the picture of the cat on the left is
totally stalking the bird in the birdcage. The bird must be terrified all the
time!

I miss you all! Glad to hear from you, Mom. I look forward to hearing from all of you every week. Let me know how your Halloween goes!
Love,
Elder Ben-Daniel Duffin
PS.
I love the pictures you sent of the Japanese garden! Very pretty. We don't have any fall colors here
yet. The weather's a lot like a Washington summer; everything is
still green.
