SO this week was jammed packed with all sorts of goodies. Thanksgiving happened!! Honestly I will not lie to any of you, I think I had the best Thanksgiving in the world. It started off with the Sisters in Casper getting together to play and old fashioned game of football... senior companions versus junior companions. After a few good plays the Senior Comps, which we called ourselves the President, pulled out a W. What can I say, we are SeCos for a reason 
don't worry it was all in good fun. We hardly knew the rules and instead of a Field Goal we just decided to shoot a free throw with my all time favorite Pink and Purple basket ball my dad sent me... it was a legendary game full of torn shoes and epic touchdown dances.
After I won the football game for everyone we did the dreaded weekly planning before heading out to Lunch/Dinner with one of my favorite members homes. They made THE BEST stuffing in the entire world AND I even ate the pumpkin pie! (For those of you who don't know, I'm not a big pie person unless there is chocolate and caramel involved, but on Thanksgiving I make and exception) we even got to contact some nonmembers who were at the dinner and they said they were going to come to church either this coming Sunday or the next!! Shoot, it was a good moment.
THEN comes my literal dream come true. We got to go to the Allen's house to watch a Disney movie. Yes yes, you heard that right, I, Sister Carter, watch a movie. It was all approved though, so don't go thinking I'm apostate! So we show up at their house, and they said they were out of town but they would leave the house open for us to watch the movie and they would tell their house sitter, their nephew, to leave for the day so we could watch it. Well we show up at their house and they had left a FULL SPREAD of stuff for us, including and not limited to, Martinellis, Ice Cream, Oreos, Popcorn, Waters, AND *DRUMROLL* these massive blanket hoodies. You might be asking yourself right about now what in the world a blanket hoodie is, well let me let you in on the secret. We have all heard of snuggies if you haven't, Google it or something. Well image a Sherpa Blanket inside of a hoodie.... just imagine it... if your aren't crying tears of joy yet, think harder.
Backstory
About 2 months ago I screenshotted this picture of a girl in a giant blanket hoodie because I was determined to buy myself one when I got home from my mission but, for obvious reasons, I am not home yet so I was just patiently waiting for the day in November 2020 when I could get myself a Blanket Hoodie
End Backstory
Fast forward 2 months and BOOM the Allen's bought one for me without even knowing I had been wanting one for 2 months. It was truly a testimony to me that God works in mysterious ways. I'm currently lounging around in it and.... it's just the best thing in my entire life. I am so so SO appreciative of everything they gave us, just to make sure we had a great Thanksgiving.
Then we watched the movie.... it was incredible, I never knew how much I missed movies until I watch one and CRAVED watching another. It's alright though there will always be movies, but I won't always get to wear a missionary name tag.
Then just as we were packing up to leave the Allen's nephew pulled up, which was awkward in and of itself because well it just was. So he helped us carry our stuff to the car, remember I'm still wearing the Blanket Hoodie I affectionately named Jordon, and just as he was closing the door he said, and I quote, "Okay, bye, drive safe, love you" and that accidental phrase said by a 27 year old guy, was as close to a relationship as I get for the next year, my friends.
We also had a Zone meeting this week where they said Elders and Sisters are now allowed to hang out every P-Day... which means.... I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE FRIENDS!! It's been a weird 6 months full of boring Tuesdays without any people because our distrust is all Elders and apparently the thought was that if we socialized with the opposite gender in missionary form we would fall in love with each other but now they trust us to not be stupid and we can see other people on P-days! It was a terrific moment in the history of the Colorado, Fort Collins mission.
I also got to decorate for Christmas and I'm not going to lie... it's adorable and I'm obsessed with the decorations my mom sent me, Thanks mom!!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Turkey Day but now I hope everyone is starting to light the world with the light of Christ through the daily prompts I'm putting on Facebook! Sorry if you get sick of my cute face but hopefully you will just enjoy the view while you have it and do what you can to help those around you!!
Love love LOVE you all!!
Remember God is in the Details!
Love Sister Carter
