So this week was transfers! Elder Kuehne and I are staying together for 6 more weeks after which he will most likely leave. We got a whole bunch of new missionaries in our zone, and two brand new missionaries are getting here tomorrow! Not much went on this week except for the rain. And on Friday we had a booth in this festival that Tustin does every year. Besides that...... Who watched General Conference?! For those of you who didn't, the new Apostles are Elder Rasband, Elder Stevenson, and Elder Renlund. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to sustain them as Apostles of  he Lord Jesus Christ this Conference for the first time. Here are a couple pearls of wisdom I gained from Conference.
Bradley D. Foster said, "Be engaged in intentional parenting." For those of you who are parents, you can find ways to best apply this in your lives. For those of you who hope to someday be parents, myself included, decide now how you will be actively involved in the lives of your children. Parent isn't just a noun. It's a verb!
Larry R. Lawrence challenged everyone to, "Ask the Lord what is keeping us from progressing." I'd like to challenge all of you to read that particular talk on LDS.org and then to ask that very question to our Father in Heaven. The Holy Ghost gives customized council and will be completely honest with you in what you need to do.
Richard J. Maynes compared creating pottery to our lives. Just like we must have for he clay perfectly centered on the wheel, we must have our lives centered perfectly on Jesus Christ in order to produce the results we desire.

There is so much more I'd like to share with all of you, but I don't have the time. I might share little bits and pieces for the next few weeks. But even better than hearing it from me, you can go read or listen to these talks by yourselves! Love you all so much! Here are some pictures.
