Luis got baptized!! And saying good-bye to Elder Goodman.

-





Luis got baptized!!! It was so amazing. He had to work super hard but he did it. Saturday was so awesome to get to see him take that step. His life has changed so much and he is such an amazing person. This gospel changes people’s lives I have a strong testimony of that.


This is gonna be a crazy week. It will be hard to say goodbye to Elder Goodman but he gets to start this new chapter of life so I'm excited for him. My new companion is
Elder Schoen and he is one of my favorite missionaries. I also get to stay in Moorpark so I'm stoked about that. I love it here!!! 


When was the last time you spoke in church
Answer: Kinda taught a lesson in church tomorrow. I had to help with a nine-year old class just talking about missionary work with them 

What was the funnest thing you did last week?
Answer: The funnest thing was Luis baptism. After all the work we had to do and changes he had to make it was so fun to see him finally at that point. 

Have you done any service recently?
Answer:  One day we did some service for a guy. He was cutting down a tree and we had to pull the top of it so it would fall in the right place and didn't have gloves so I got some gnarly blisters on my hands that are finally starting to heal. 

Do you still get to have dinner with the members?

Answer: We have lots of cool member families that have us over for dinner. The weekends are the best to get to be with them for a bit

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.
