Second week went fast and was good....

Second week went fast and was good. I keep a list of stories I want to remember and we got one every night this last week so that was awesome.

My first Big Gulp
The area we are assigned to is Westlake Village. It's about 20 minutes from the beach.  The beach is off limits unless we get special permission from Pres Nakken.

We have done quite a bit of service so far. Mostly helping move stuff like boxes and helped a couple people move out. Then we got to help cut down and move a tree. It was so good haha I got to run the chainsaw and made me feel like I was back home down by the river.   I'm finally starting to get the hang of it haha. I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of the mission. I miss cutting hay and hauling it and fixing machines. Weird, but I do miss that stuff.

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.

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.
