Laine's comments regarding FaceBook messaging him on Christmas: 
“It was super awesome to get to see and talk to all of you. You guys all looked good too. And the fighting made me feel like it was still the same hahaha.”

“I am getting transferred out of Westlake. I will be going up to Santa Maria. That probably doesn't mean anything to you guys but it's in the more northern part of the mission. I am super excited. Everyone tells me its super pretty and that I will love it.”

“My first week in Santa Maria has been good. It was really weird for the first couple of days because it's the first time I've moved but I'm starting to get settled in. My new comp is Elder Thueson. He is from Herramin, Utah. We get along good.”

“Yes Aileen did get baptized last Saturday and I got to drive down to it.. Then I had two more people here in Santa Maria get baptized on Saturday too. Sky and Stephanie. It was an amazing Saturday to say the least.”


“I am doing good still. Yes it was kinda hard after the Christmas call but I knew it would be. I'm back to normal now. We have zone conference at the end of this month. I’m really looking forward to it.”

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.
