Isaac is getting baptized on March 14th so a couple weeks. He is doing super good! We had a lesson with him last night and he is all set. Jerry is still kinda in a limbo. He did come to church yesterday though so we were happy to see him there.

Speaking of pit bulls there was one day that I was on an exchange with another elder. We went up to this house and walked through this gate they had so we could get to the door. On our way up to the door we saw about 50 ft away this vicious pit bull was staring us down. But we still knocked on the door and the guy answered really quickly. He came out and was like "yo I have a pit bull" and stood in between us and it. He wasn't interested so we left and right when we closed the gate the dog went nuts. Barking and jumping and looked like it wanted to kill us. The Lord definitely protected us on that one. 

I'll give you another story about a lady we found named Chanel. She is a single mom whose granddaughter lives with her. We knocked on her door a couple weeks ago and she has been prepared! As we were teaching her she told us about a dream she has had a couple different times. She explained it as her standing there and in the distance she could see this light and she knew that she wanted to get to it. But in between her and the light was this darkness that she didn't know how to get through it. So the next lesson we read 1 Nephi 8 for obvious reasons and she loved it. We explained how the gospel would be the rod that would lead her to the tree. And that baptism is the ultimate way and allows us to taste of that fruit. She committed to be baptized on March 28! It was pretty cool.

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.
