"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Goodbye for now, Elder Anderson!

We went to the Provo Temple grounds to hang out and say goodbye and take pictures before Parker got dropped off at the MTC. Someone gave my mom that advice and it turned out to be really good advice! It was nice to not be rushed, talk for a minute, get some pictures. Then when it was time, Mom and Dad drove him to the MTC, got out, said goodbye, and that was that. Off he went! We know he'll be great.

While we were at the temple, Nora entertained herself by collecting all the leaves and making a pile on the sidewalk...
