[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t's a week of temples, Halloween post mortems, garment reviews, and Church school news. Jared Gillins is back to bring his special brand of wit and brilliance to the proceedings.

Are ward trunk or treat activities ruining the community vibe of Halloween (i.e. are parents not bothering with actual Halloween in the neighborhood in favor of the ward activity)? One op-ed writer for the Salt Lake Tribune seems to think so.

If you have ever been in a leadership position, you might be familiar with the wonder that is the "reporting month." The problem is, the "quarterly" report is poorly representative of actual attendance and outreach efforts. The Church is looking to change that a bit with a move to count and record sacrament meeting attendance weekly. This is huge! Trust us.

On to temple news. Moses Lake, Washington, a reasonably small metropolitan area, is slated to receive a temple, and now the Church has revealed said temple's location, right on some farmland off of Interstate 90.

Some source, reportedly on the record, have stated that the Washington DC Temple open house will occur in fall 2020, over two and a half years after the temple closed for major renovation work.

After a number of temples were closed because of weather damage, then quietly rebuilt from the studs up, we wondered how long it would take to finish such work. We've already seen the rededications of temples in Oklahoma, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Now, the last of them, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, will finally be open to the public before a dedication ceremony.

This one's for the men out there. Who has purchased the new Cotton Stretch garment style? Do they breathe at the expense of being too tight? Do the new cuts sufficiently hide your thunder? Geoff and Jared have both tried them out and have competing visions. Also, should garments be worn 24/7? Jana Riess wonders.

The Tabernacle Choir will be joined by singer Kelli O'Hara and narrator Richard Thomas at its annual Christmas concert. Will mail robots be safe?!

Now onto Church schools. BYU once considered opening satellite campuses throughout the west. How would this have changed things?
