Thousand Oaks Shooting Memorial

“Wednesday night, November 7th, there was a shooting within 10 miles of my apartment. 13 dead 22 injured. We went to the memorial Thursday night. Then we got evacuated Thursday night to the zone leaders. Then at 3 in the morning we got evacuated even further away. Then Friday night they just took us up to Oxnard near the mission office. That is where we have been and still are for the time being. We will be here for at least a couple more days."



“This last week me and Elder Hiatt were on an exchange and we went to Arby's for dinner. After we ate we were talking to the manager and he said he had to show us something in his car. Then he told us to turn around and to trust him. We thought he was gonna shoot us but then when we turned around he pulled a Spongebob mask on. It was so weird hahaha."

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.
