Monday, Paul had a final for his one class this semester and is officially done with coursework..forever!

Tuesday, we had our third interview.  The woman seemed nice and has a lot of legal experience but no IP experience.  Scott wants to interview one more person before making a decision. 

Saturday we helped some ward friends move.  Kimmy is having a baby girl in January too and they moved to a two-bedroom apartment in preparation of their baby coming.  Her husband is wanting to change jobs, so they are looking into buying a home next summer.

Sunday, we practiced the primary program in the chapel.  I was able to practice an hour a day this past week and it has helped me feel a lot more prepared for the program on Halloween.  The kids did great and have a lot of enthusiasm for singing the songs and are very heartfelt in their talks.  We stayed after church and Paul was set apart as an Elders Quorum Secretary.  A lot of people move in and out of the ward throughout the year, so they are having him welcome in newly moved in members and help make sure they get ministering assignments and get ministered to.  We had tithing settlement later that day and also had the missionaries over for a minute.  We read through the Restoration Proclamation with them.  We offered to drive them home but they said they were okay.  Just after they left, there was a huge downpour and a ton of lightning.  They texted and said they made it home before the downpour.  

We hope Mom and Dad have a safe trip to Mexico and hope everyone has a good week!
