Happy Halloween

Dear all,

This week was pretty normal. No fire incidents, no donuts, no crazy people, no noodles. Nothing. Just trying to find people. 

We did go on an exciting exchange with the lovely ''Assistants to the President'', however. They are in our district, and Elder Blinn is the district leader, so we went on exchange with them. It was exactly like any other exchange. I was with Elder James (from DC) and we had a good time talking about the MTC and all the museums in DC that I have never been to. I complained that all the museums in Ottawa cost $20 and the museums in DC are free, even though Canada is the one with all the taxes. They seriously are so backwards up here.

The other exciting news of the week is that IT IS COLD AGAIN. Not super cold yet, but we are moving in that direction. ''Winter is coming'' and all that.

We helped the first counselor in the bishopric put up his temporary car shelter (or ''tempo'' for short) for the winter, and afterwards he told us stories about working in the VFX field. He's worked on a bunch of movies, including ''Gravity,''  and had some pretty interesting stories about what goes on behind the scenes of VFX.

He's one of at least four members of the ward that work in VFX and animation. The others have worked for Disney and a bunch of other companies, and all of them have been pretty high up in the industry. The Elders' Quorum President is one such member, and he said he'll take all the missionaries to tour his studio next Tuesday. If I am allowed to, I'll get some cool pictures and send them back. If not, I'll just write about it and you can watch the movies in theaters when they come out. 

Love you all,

Elder Hadden
