Hi everyone,
I can't believe it has been so long since I wrote on the blog. We are doing well and loving the weather here. It was 74 today and people out mowing their grass. It looks like spring here the grass is green and it is warming up nice. I hope it stays nice. We had a week of rain off and on the week before Christmas.
We are having some success we had one of the couples we have been working with the whole time we have been here come to church on Christmas. It was exciting. The mom with 4 children we have been working with has been to church 3 times in a row and we have had them over for FHE several times. Their boys love cub scouts so we are seeing some response. I know we need to learn patience and that has always been my big downfall.
We really enjoy going to District and Zone meetings they are always so uplifting it helps us keep going. We had a really nice Christmas Zone Confrence. We came away ready to conquer all of Texas. Well it is getting time to end our day. Write to us. Love Elder & Sister Carter

Dec. 18
We have been busy this month. We have also had our ups and down times. Everyone is busy and some forget their apt.so we have not contacted as many people. We had a great zone meeting last week and it was fun to get together with other missionaries. Our Mission President is great we had such a up lifting meeting. It helps to have the encouragement.
Our Branch had a nice Christmas party and we had 2 of our families come. We have been helping with cub scouts because the one family we are activating have 3 boys so that adds a lot to the pack. The boys have a good time and it is fun to be their with them. We have a lot of members to work with. Their was 10 sisters today in RS. We have a lot of work to do. We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas Elder and Sister Carter

Hi everyone,
Time has gone so fast this last week. In reading our last blog. It was Thanksgiving last time I wrote. We went to Granberry to see the light parade and the shoppes it was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Their was a town square with little shops all around with Christmas decorations and lots of fun things to see.
We are working with a family and some of them came to church on Sunday the mother and one of the children it was so nice to finally have them come on Sunday. The boys have been to cub scouts and the girl to activity days. Tonight we had them over for F.H.E. And decorated sugar cookies and had pizza. I think they had a good time.
We had a good lesson with our Spanish investigators last week we read with them from the
B of M and had a good discussion. It was fun to teach someone that was an investigator. Some time it is hard to have people give you so many excuses why they don't come to church or they tell you they will come but don't make it.
We went to the Temple on sat. with the adults in the ward their were only 7 of us that went It is hard for both husband and wife to go when you are gone so long. It takes two and a half hours each way. We had a good time. Then we went to the L.D.S. Book store and enjoyed it. It is strange to not have a distribution center close. We nave been so blessed to have LDS material so easy to buy.
The weather got cold this week end and we woke up to a skiff of snow this morning.
We have our Christmas tree up it is 2 ft. We also have a poinsettia and a snow man. Kira made us a Christmas wall hanging with scriptures to read each day. It really brightens our apartment. Everyone send Christmas cards so we can hear from you. Our address is
1100 Indiana #120
Graham, TX. 76450
We love to get mail or even e-mails it is great.
Well it is time to get some studying done and get to bed. We love you all and pray things are going well for you. Love Elder and Sister Carter
