Email #15: Brynn Becomes a Trainer

Holy moly my fam, guess what?!!!!

I AM TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!

K bye!

Haha jk, but seriously, I have been blessed with the amazing

opportunity to train a new missionary! I can't believe it! I am so

excited and maybe a bit nervous, but ya know;) it'll be so fun and

crazy, I know I'm going to grow a lot. I'm just preparing my mind! And

heart!

This week was insanity! It was Sister Harp's last week as a

missionary, and on top of that we had an exchange in Runcorn (which

was amazing). We were only in our area one full day this week though,

which is so strange... I'm like...what's Wrexham? Haha she had her

temple trip and I got to go on exchange In Warrington with Sister

Orleans. We had a blast, and I love Warrington! And now I'm back here

again waiting for exchange while Sis H is in the mission home/ flying

home.... What the...?? So weird..

There have been some funny things happening every day, but I'll just

share a few of them.

On exchange, in Runcorn, we were street contacting and ran into this

lady who was very nice and open. While introducing ourselves, she

began dancing and saying how much she loved elvis and the cha cha!!

Haha we were like, wow, you've got skills lady! Haha she was so funny!

As we were talking she kept changing her mind about things and it was

so hard to keep track of what she was talking about. As we were

walking away I realized that basically everyone we're teaching at the

moment is like that! Crazy and hilarious! Love it!

As it was Sis Harp's last Sunday, we were able to convince our bus

station security guard friend, John, to come to church! He was

hesitant at first, and we came to find out that he was baptised when

he was young, but went less active right after. He came to church and

stayed all three hours!! It was amazing!! After church he came up to

me and says that he really enjoyed it. He'd come with questions in

mind and said that he felt something inside himself changing. He wants

us to teach him!! It's so exciting!! Such a miracle! I haven't read

all of your emails yet cuz today is crazy, but I'll update you all

next week on what happens!!!!!!!!!

I love you all!!!

Cheers!!

Email #14: Service Project

Week # 10

Hello Carter Family and friends!!

Wow, I can't believe you are in Palmyra!! I was actually thinking about that place a lot this week! What an amazing place, and fun family trip, props mom! haha ;) And snow!! that's a bonus! haha jk man, conference was so good! It was weird though, our time is so far ahead of Utah that our morning sessions started at 5pm! and the afternoon sessions didn't start till 9! So we didn't get to watch the Sunday afternoon session, don't spoil it for me! We watched the Saturday afternoon session on Sunday before the Sunday morning, and if you followed all that, way to go ;) But there were so many good talks! I especially loved Elder Ballard's on family councils, and Elder Bednar's on retaining a remission of our sins! but what a powerful conference! In the Women's session, which I got to watch on Saturday morning, Sis Marriott, love her, gave such a great talk! She is so wise! But yay, now we get to read back over them and continue learning from them! Can't wait!!

This week was great! I literally feel like I just went to the temple, so basically I can't remember anything that happened... haha jk but it really does feel like that! Even though it was a whole week ago! I had my first interview with President Ulrich on Thursday, and wow, it is no mistake that he is my president. I received so much good council and reassurance that I am loved, trusted, and prayed for. It is so powerful to hear the love from your leaders, and I love how President Medley told me when getting set apart that they are my new parents for these 18 months. And to be able to feel it. WOW! Sister Harp leaves for home next week...... I KNOW...... So basically I am kinda freaking out, mostly because I have NO IDEA what is going to happen to me! She keeps messing with me, telling me that literally ANYTHING could happen, to have an OPEN mind about it.... DAHHHH!!!! hahaha but I have full trust in the Lord, and am excited for a new chapter in my mission life, bring it!!

We got to do some more service for another member this week, and I love doing service! This sweet older lady needed her garden worked on quite badly, so we offered to help. In Britain they have electric lawn mowers, that are small, and plug in... I know, weird! haha but I got to mow her garden, and it was all fun and great until all of a sudden I realized I had run over dog doo, not because I saw it, but because I could smell it! YEAhhhhh... hahaha Her grass was really tall basically, that's my defense haha I had to empty the thing at least ten times during the process. Nice! haha But yes, it has been a great week! We keep working with Jillian and David, and have yet to see Liam. But things are going well. Particularly with the Less active members, we have seen a lot of success as we've worked with them.

Life is so exciting and good isn't it?? Oh, btw Maddie, I do like my hair.. sometimes. hahah All I can say is it is way easier to manage! But I do look like a boy most of the time ;) hahaha it happens. And who the heck is that man in the pictures with you all?? That can't be Ethan... WHAT THE HECK MAN!??? why have you already grown so much?? It's only been 3 months, you gotta stop it!!! haha weird.. Mom, never stop doing the spontaneous trips, and I love how it was a miracle. The spirit has become my best and closest friend these past few months, and I love that you feel close to him as well. Dad, I really hope that your shoulder feels better... I just keep imagining you dangling above the piano like winnie the pooh, and I can't decide whether to laugh or cry!! haha Oh man, good stuff!

Well, I love you all! Sorry I didn't send any pictures last week, I ran out of time, so here ya go!! We went to chester again today for Sis H's last pday! also in there are temple/mtc and easter ;)

Cheers,

Sister Carter
