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.

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.

It is so hard but we are making it work  We are still getting some missionary work done. Chanel is getting baptized in a couple weeks so we are working a lot with her. We do have to deal with a lot of the changes though.  Funny story: We had a few extra cars from missionaries going home so we were gonna give them to elders who were on bikes. So one day we got the mission 10 passenger van and drove to the elders apartment and picked them up. We didn’t tell them before though. We just showed up and barged in their door and told them they were coming with us. We picked up 3 different companionships and they were all so confused. So after we had them all in we drove to the mission office and when we got there we were like "elders is there something you want to tell us?" And a few of them got bright red then we started laughing and pu...
