Good day, good morning and goodnight all my faithful weekly email readers!! I'm so glad you tuned in to my once a week broadcast to those in the Sister Carter general area! Now I know you all were thinking, at this point Sister Carter has been in Casper Wyoming for a long time, isn't it about time for her to hit the road and peace out to a new and exciting adventure that awaits her in other areas in the mission. Well you are in absolute luck because *drumroll* I'M STAYING IN CASPER
Yes yes you heard that right, Sister Carter will be spending all of her mission in Casper Wyoming. I'm a legend if I've ever heard one. But with that said... spending half of my mission in the best ward in the Mission isn't too bad. We will celebrate this momentous occasion with Christmas and candy canes, everyone enjoy.
But other than that, my week has been pretty relaxed. I had exchanges with the one and only Sister Lloyd. Let me just tell you... it was epic. We spent a lot of the time just laughing and making all sorts of jokes about our less than exciting life, all while teaching people the gospel. I got to share experiences about how I came to know why I needed to be on a mission and why I stay out on my mission. I also started to realize how much I could learn from people who have been out longer than I have. I need to soak up as much information from them as possible because before I know it I will be one of the people who have been out the longest and I'm already stressed.
Also here's the funniest story of the week. So it was a casual Thursday afternoon when Sister Morford and I were outside of the church building poaching their wifi so we could do some missionary work. While we were outside Sister Morford starts coughing. At first, I thought absolutely nothing of it. Then all of a sudden I hear a strange noise echo out of her throat. I then lean towards her and what do I see. She lifts her head to look up at me and she says, "I just threw up" in horror I ask, "did you get it in the car?" She just giggles to herself and says, "Nope! Just in my sleeve" then with a concern in her voice says, "So I'm going to have to go inside" I immediately just die laughing because it's just the funniest situation I've ever encountered in my entire life. So we walked inside and I let her go clean off her coat because I don't think I can handle throw up.... it's just not my vibe.
Christmas is coming right around the corner and your girl is singing a musical number in Sacrament meeting.... yea... for all of you that are friends with me on Facebook you know I just posted a signing video. Well a little background, just a few days before that someone made fun of me for posting on Facebook for light the world... so I was already terrified of posting it because well... if one person was making fun of me, what's to stop more people from doing the same right? Plus I'm the most vulnerable when singing because I have just an average voice and I know so many other people who are incredible!! But despite my best judgment, and my constant second guessing... I posted it anyway. I overcame my fear, at least a little and now... I'm singing in Church... a lot is to be said about doing what you fear most.
Anyway I hope you all are enjoying Light the World and soon Christmas!! Thank you all for being in my life and I can't believe I was blessed with so many amazing friends and family!!
Remember God is in the Details!!
Sister Carter
