To start everything off, I got my new missionary on Wednesday!! Her name is Sister Morford!!! *everyone say Hi Sister Morford* She's from Genola Utah (30 minutes south of Provo) and she's the sweetest little thing I've ever met. Also her family breeds Pomskies and Huskies so she LITERALLY has 73 dogs... we were destined to be companions. She even said that when I get back from my mission I could work for her dad who runs a SLED DOG COMPANY, my dreams are coming true. I'm already tearing up!
This week we also got in contact with a lot of people who hadn't been reaching out to us for a while. It was insanely cool because most of it happened only a day or so after Sister Morford got here so I think God needed her to be able to be here to touch their hearts in a unique way, only time will tell though! We saw one of them today and she was able to connect with her in a way I won't able to because they had very similar situations and she spoke to her heart with much more ease because of that. So I'm sure that's part of the reason as well.
This week I also spent a morning with a member in our ward and helped with their basement and while we were there he had me try on his MASSIVE buffalo coat and it's honestly my favorite thing in the entire world, no joke it touched the floor when I wore it and it was a dream come true. I was LITERALLY encased in a massive animal fur, it was incredible. I'll include a picture just so you all can bask in its glory with me too.
I have been showing a lot of members during dinner messages this video called "He Lives", if you haven't watched it, I would recommend you watch it right now and then come back and finish my email.... I'll wait no worries
*pause for those watching the video*

Welcome back, if you were touched by that video, you are not alone. I watched that video for the first time a few weeks ago and I was caught of guard by how absolutely incredible it is. I started to think about all my own "Because He lives" and I'd like to share them with you guys too. Because He lives, I am on a mission. Because He lives I get to live. Because He lives, my Dad lives. Because He lives, I can focus on the light in the world instead of the dark. Because He lives I can find relief when relief seems impossible. And most importantly because He lives, I get to live, forever, with my family who I love more than anything else in the world. Christ had the option to die instead of take upon Him the sins of the world but He didn't. He choose to live, so in return, I need to choose to live too. He is everything to me, but I'm starting to realize that I am also everything to Him, which is why He decided to feel every pain in my life, because He knew He couldn't lose His everything either. I am privileged to get to walk with Him every day as He tells me His love for me and you and I hope you all can learn to walk with Him too, it's much brighter with the Son next to you.
I will close with a 10 word spiritual thought I gave to a 14 year old who had to run to Basketball practice and his Dad wanted us to give him a spiritual message only using 10 words before he left. So this is what I said, and I quote, "Remember God Loves You and Less Wifi, More Nephi, Amen"
I love you all!!
Always remember, God is in the Details!!
Sister Carter
