An opportunity to share our light with others...

So, Conference was amazing! We are so lucky to have such great church leaders. Hearing their messages and testimonies stregthned my testimony so much. They are men of God and they are His inspired teachers. It was interesting to me that out of all of the deep doctrine and subjects to speak on, they chose to speak on what they did. It seemed like they taught a lot of simple pure truths. I love this. I saw one common theme that stood out to me throughout all of conference. That is, God is our Father, He loves us, and He will give us peace if we seek Him. The first teaching in the first missionary discussion is this, God is our loving Heavenly Father. This is my favorite thing to teach to people. How amazing is it that we are children of God, and that He's made a plan for us to become more like Him, and return to live with Him? This is so important. I really like what Quentin L. Cook talked about on Saturday; When we obey God, we are given peace, when we have peace, we can bring peace into our homes, when we have peace in our homes we bring peace to our community, and when there is peace within our communities, the world becomes more peaceful as a whole. This is why Alma said he wanted to "Declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, That there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth." I really liked Sister Elaine S. Dalton's talk. "where e're thou art, act well thy part" they have that at the MTC too. We have so much potential to make a good influence on those around us. Elder Standley G. Ellis kind of talked about it in his talk. We have such an opportunity to share our light with others, in our home, at work, and anywhere and everywhere.

Well I'm trying to think of anything that happened this week...

We had a crazy rain storm on Wednesday. It was pretty cool. We caught a white Cockroach while doing some service at a members home. We took it back to our apartment and were going to frame it but it turned black after a few days. We moved out of our smokey apartment into another one. I hope we're done moving for a while. Transfer meeting is this wednesday, i'm really excited! it's crazy.
Here are some pictures. Some are random. There are some of our apartments. One has all those Books of Mormon. a cochroach. and others...

 All the different Languages in Elder Russell's area! So cool!
