June 18, 2019

So super awesome they changed the zone leader area to Moorpark so I get to stay here. I am so happy I love it here. My companion is going to be Elder Goodman from Sholow, Arizona. He was an assistant to the President a couple months ago so that's a little intimidating. I'm gonna learn lots hahaha and the best thing of it all is that our car is a 2019 Tacoma truck!!! Oh man its gonna be awesome.

And Luis is doing good. He missed church yesterday sadly which honestly scared me so bad cause I though we lost him but then we had an awesome conversation with him on the phone last night and he says he's ready to keep going! So we are gonna meet with him again tomorrow and help him. The prayers are helping please keep them coming. Missionary work is going good too. Me and my companion are getting along good. Elder Goodman is awesome. Having a leadership calling is like how I thought it would be. Super, super busy but fun. I like being in charge Haha and its nice to get to work with all the missionaries and help them out as much as we can. I am doing good though.

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.
