Hi everyone,
Things have gotten much better for us we feel like we are at least making a difference. We have had a great Stake Conference and a great Branch Conference. We were able to take a couple we are working with and they have been to other meetings as well. This is really a lift to us and has helped us. We have others we are working with that are coming a long but not as fast. It is nice to see some progress. We also moved into a different apartment and that has helped a lot. We bought us a couch and chair so we could be more comfortable. It has been hard to come from your own nice thinks to old and broken down things.
The work here is moving forward in baby steps and that is ok as long as we are able to keep it going forward. The Branch is not small in numbers but small in activity. We only have an average of 50 to 60 people in our Sacrament Meeting. A lot leave after Sacrament Meeting so that leaves even less for classes.
We are able to go to the Temple once a month and that has been a nice time for us. It is two hours and a half each way. So it takes most of the day.
The weather this week has been a lot of rain and down in the 50s after last week being in the 70s and 80s. So a big change a little frighting as they were talking about tornado watching. We got a lot of rain but not bad other wise.
We hope everything is going well for all of you. Love Elder and Sister Carter

Hi everyone we hope all is well with you.We had a great District meeting this week. Our Mission president came. He always knows what to teach to get us fired up to do better and to keep going. We have had some attention church and several that are coming to cub scouts and the girls activity day. The way to help people come seems to be through the programs for their children. We are helping with the cub scouts and girls activities. It has been a log time since we did cub scouts. I think I was Rays den mother. Now ray has 2 boys in cub scouts.
We are loving the weather it is 77 today and the wind is warm. We had some rain today but with it this warm temp. It is not a problem. We hope all is well with you all. Love Elder and Sister Carter

Hi everyone we are doing well and enjoying the weather. It was windy today but not cold. We talked in church today again so I should get used to it but I don't I don't know if it will ever be second nature for me. We have had more come to church and some to cub scouts and YW. The programs for the kids will make a lot of difference. We are staying busy and enjoying the time we have to study and learn.

Hi Y' all,
I can't believe how fast time is passing. We are still working with the members and some days are good and some not so good. We are trying to get more lessons in now that we are friends and have been working with many of them for quite a while. We have had some good time helping with cub scouts and have meet some really nice people. We have had some come to church but not regular. We meet with most of them every week if we can just letting them know someone cares for them. I will write more next time .love sister Carter
