First week in California

-
    "Elder Tesch is from West Point, Utah. He has been serving his mission for eight months.  We get along pretty well so far."
    "We are serving in a place called Westlake. Typical day consists of waking up, working out, eating breakfast, getting ready, then studying. Then we go knock doors for a bit the  lunch. Then knock more doors then dinner. Members feed us dinner almost every night so that's nice. There is one lady who is getting baptized on the 22 of September so that's awesome. Me and Elder Tesch white-washed the area ( both new to it) so we are trying to figure out the area and meet all the members. We are getting it though."
A member gave me this suit! I like it and I wore it to church.
"Our apartment is not to shabby. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms so one bedroom we sleep in and the other is our study room. We each have our own bathroom also. Yes the first thing I did when I got here was clean up haha it was pretty dirty. Elder Tesch told me this is the nicest one he's been in so sounds like it can only go downhill from here haha."
    "One funny story that happened to us, we were walking down the street one day and stopped and talked to this one guy. He really wasn't interested in our message but did start talking about politics hahaha the first thing I thought of was you. Just like you said would happen Dad!"

On August 7th, 2018 Laine was set apart as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by President Joey L. Skinner. Bishop James Fawson and the Morgan 5th ward Young Men's President Kurt Bryant were there to support him, as well as both sets of grandparents, siblings, and parents.This was a very special event for our family and we're very proud of Laine.   Laine's grandparents Rondo and Mary Erickson are serving as full-time missionaries in the Utah Layton Mission as an office couple. Our family is very blessed to have these missionaries serve the Lord.

First week in the MTC

A wonderful tender mercy during Elder Carter's first week in the MTC was that the speakers for the devotional on Sunday night were Brother Wayne T. Watson and his wife Luana Watson. President Watson and his wife were Jessica's mission president in the Finland Helsinki Mission. They were released in June of 2017 and Laine attended their homecoming in Orem, Utah and talked to them about how his sister was doing. Our family loves the Watson and Elder Carter reported that it helped him a lot to hear them speak. Elder Carter reported that he is two rooms away from the new missionaries assigned to serve in the Helsinki Finland mission. He talked with them about how cool Finland is and how much he loved meeting their current mission president Ilkka Auara when he visited Finland in June of this year.
