-
Week of December 2nd, 2019
Question: Are you getting transferred? If yes details.  Where to, new companion, calling (still Zone Leader) etc.
Answer:I am not getting transfer thankfully. I get to spend Christmas here and am so excited. Me and elder Turley will be staying together for another one. He will be my first companion to have back to back. Lots of good stuff is happening here so we are excited! 

Question: Are people decorating for Christmas? trees, lights etc?
Answer: Yes, there are so many decorations up already here. It's crazy lots of people got started in the middle of November. Now that its December almost everyone is decorated. 

Question: Are you still enjoying nice weather? Temperatures etc.
Answer: Yes, the weather here is awesome. It's been rainy here lately which is hard to complain about but does make missionary work a little harder. But like I said I cant complain

Question:  Best story of the week.
Answer:  Best story hahah. Well my week started with a fire on Monday night. We had to make sure all the missionaries in our zone were safe and had 4 elders end up staying the night with us. It was pretty crazy. Then we went to the temple on Tuesday which was so good. I love the temple! It was almost an all day trip and well worth it. Then we had a meeting on Wednesday all day then Thanksgiving Thursday and a very uneventful weekend sadly. So there wasn't any one good story sadly it was just kinda a busy chaotic week. A good one 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.
