Hey Family!
It was good to hear from you guys this week! Thank you for the email mom:) I always love hearing from you and hearing about all of the things that are going on back home. I was sad that I missed Ryan's birthday. . . . AGAIN! That is weird that I have missed his birthday twice now! I can't believe you had to have another bladder surgery! How come that difficulty you are having isn't getting better? Hopefully this will be the last time that you have to have this surgery. That is scarry to hear that Grandad is in the Hospital. Hopefully he is geting better now. You both will definately be in my prayers. Thank you for the package this week mom! It has been nice to have your bread again:) But now worries, if you aren't able to make it this week, we will survive:) The last thing I want you to do is over do it. . . . like you always do! Dad how is work going? When do you reckon the apartment buildings will be finished? What are some future jobs coming up. . . . that I may be participating in:) haha. The mission is goig too fast. Ever since I became a zone leader, the mission has FLOWN by! Too fast. But I love it because I always feel like I am accomplishing something. Unfortunately the work in my area isn't going very well:( We have a basically less active ward mission leader who doesn't answer our phone calls, or texts and doesn't call us back. We haven't had a correlation meeting in over 2 months! And the Bishop is very busy with his family and work and doesn't have time to talk to us about the work and help us in any way. He has been saying that he would call a new wardmission leader for the past 2 months but nothing has happened. But, we are doing the best that we can. We have been working really hard on a project named mobile area book. This is a area book where we seperated our area into 10 sections and there names are the following. . . . 1. The Shire. 2. Isengard. 3. Gondor. 4. Rivendale. 5. Rohan. 6. Moria. 7. Grey haven. 8. Mounth doom. 9. Mirkwood. 10. Mordor!!!!!!!!
Yes if you didn't catch it, these are names from the one. the only. LORD OF THE RINGS! We thought we would be creative with it and have some fun. So on each of these sections contains each of the the members that live in that area, and the former investigaotrs as well. We are also adding potential investigators as they come to us. If you have an LDS.org account it is really cool cause all you have to do is log on to your account than search for LDS Maps. Click on that than you can browse in depth your ward information and see where everybody lives! You should check it out Dad, it might be useful for the missionary effort in the ward. Anyways, all is well, and even though it is pday e. loli and i still have to type up a training that we are presenting in front of President Baker and all of the zone leaders tomorrow. The assisstants came to our zone and saw our area book and loved it! So we are going to be doing a training on how to effectively plan using a mobile area book. This training will than be taken across the mission! So we are really excited that we are making an impact on the mission. Anyways, all is well, and I am just working hard and trying to enjoy every moment possible regardless of the circumstance or situation. I hope all is well I love you guys:)

Love forever and always, Elder Carter the 5th

Our Dearest Handsome Elder,
I Love You with ALL my Heart.
You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Amazing in every way.
Today we are celebrating Handsome Ryan's Birthday. Daddie and Kenny have been working really hard today on the Sunday dinner - I have been resting as Thursday I had my 5th bladder surgery. Do not worry as Daddie has been taking perfect care of me and I am in excellent hands with the right Dr. who truly cares about me and the extreme difficulties I have been having. Thank you for Your tender Love and prayers as I have really felt Your Love for me through this time in my life that has been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO challenging. Also Aunt Stacia and Jill Peterson helped with the dinner today for Ryan and Meagan which I appreciate with ALL my Heart. Grandma Mom, Dustin, Hillary, Trevy and Libby also came to celebrate Ryan's "sweet" Birthday. Meagan awakened really early this morning and fixed an amazing breakfast of waffles and the works with a cinnamon roll shaped in a Heart in bed. Ryan and Meagan went to St. George yesterday and ate at the Texas Road house and Meagan gave Ryan a beautiful watch for his Birthday.
Sorry Darling I was typing and listening to everyone talk at the table and accidentally pushed send - so I brought the letter back and I am going to continue to email You.
I Love listending to the pretty music that the radio plays on Sunday, it really helps to bring a "sweet" spirit into our home.
I missed playing for Primary today and seeing the precious little children - they really love to sing and always want to keep singing - Cheryl Savage is the director and she is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good in Primary.

"Whistle while You work."

*Arise and Shine*

Every day is a gift from God - enjoy every moment of every day.

Ryan and Meagan just opened the Birthday present from Daddie, Kenny and I - I found a darling light green blanket with animals on it for their little boy that will be born in May, some money and a shopping day to buy a hoddie for Ryan.
Usually I give the dogs a bath on Sunday but they missed their bath today because I gave them a bath the day before surgery so they would be clean and soft after surgery.
Kenny and I have been making plans for your suprise in November - You truly will be suprised**************************************************************
Right now on the Radio the song: "I Wonder When He Comes Again" is playing - I Love that song - when I was a little girl we would always sing my favorite song "My Heavenly Father Loves Me," "I Wonder When He Comes Again," and "Give Said the Little Stream." We also learned "I Know that My Redeemer LIves" and I would always sing to the top of my Heart.
Well Valentine's Day will soon be here - I Love Valentine's - thinking about love and "dear" family and friends.
Libby just came over with the Snow White globe and wanted to sit on my lap and email you - she is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DarLibby is ling. It's fun to be a Grandma - can You believe that we have 6 Grandchildren now - which will soon be 7.
With our church at 9:00 we have alot more time on Sunday. Today Daddie and I went to Aunt Stacia's ward as Kenny played a very difficult song for the youth in their ward to sing. Kenny played SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO perfect - I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of him. We left after Kenny played so I could rest again but Brock brought us the sacrament which I really appreciated. Kenny is going to play the 2nd Sunday in Ferurary in Grandma Mom's ward.
Libby is starting to talk, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute to listen to her. Trevy loves to play with his Uncle Kenny.
I hope this week to begin recording my music so I can make a CD with beautiful arrangements of Primary songs.
Dustin is playing the piano right now - I Love piano music - I Love the piano with All my Heart I miss hearing You play - thankgoodness I have Your Beautiful CD's to listen to. Hillary is playing the piano now which is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet for me.

goodness and graces,
For all of these blessings we pray.

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, having our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.

Morning Prayer
Cause me to hear thy loving kindness
in the morning, for in Thee do I trust.
Cause me to know the way wherein I
should walk, for I lift up my soul unto Thee.
Psalm 143:8

Grandma Gaye just called and Grandad is not feeling well, he is in the hospital in St. George, he is really dizzy and was just given a Blessing. Say a prayer for Grandad too that he can get better quickly - right now he is sleeping and has been given alot of medicine to help him.
Trevy is getting SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO big, he loves legos' - our play room is perfect for him - don't worry your amazing things are still standing perfectly.
The birds have been singing today on account of Ryan's Birthday and the sun has been shinning brightly.
Libby loves going up and down our circular stairs, she is just laughing right out loud.
Whenever I am upstairs I plug in our 2 little purple Christmas trees - one is a little purple tree from my friend Emily and the other is our tree from the cabin decorated with little purple birds and purple ribbon.
Libby just threw something down the stairs I thought for a minute she was falling down the stairs.
So how is Our Handsome doing? It sounds like You are working hard. I sent out some music books for You and Your companion and I am putting some "sweet" songs together that I have collected through the years that I will send next week. It was exciting to hear that there is going to be 12 baptisms this month and You and Elder Loli will be doing some musical numbers - I wish I could hear You - Keep up the Good work and wonderful music.
Libby and I just had a girl moment putting on lipstick, lotion, purfume, with the thoughts of sparkle nail polish - she is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Darling.
Becuase I brought back the email for some reason I cannot not spell check so forgive me if there is some mis-spelled words.
Well my Darling I am going to go and rest and then a little bit later I will email You some more.
I do hope to teach music this week - music is very healing and helps me feel like I am talking to Heavenly Father.
I will try to make bread this week - I just have to really rest so I can get better so if I don't make bread I hope You will understand.
I Love You Our Handsome Amaziang Elder who I truly look up too.
Remember every night after your prayers to think of all the Blessings that You were blessed with during the day.
I Love that Daddie and I are reading the scriptures every night and praying about the people that are in active or not members of the church. Grandma Mom is making some CD"s that I am going to take to them when I get better. On February 4th we are going to feed the Missionaries - I picked Saturday so Kenny could help me.
I Love the laughter of a little child, children are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy about little things and are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO forgiving from minute to minute. There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much that we can learn from little children and their perfect faith and love.

"Reach for the Stars"

Hi again Darling, it's me again.
I had a lot of fun coloring with Trevy and Libby - it was really fun having the kids over, talking to Trevy and listening to Libby laugh.
Kenny and Daddie just gave us a nice Family night lesson but it is getting late so I will close my Darling.
I Love You with All my Heart.
Have a Beautiful Day knowing how much your Family Loves You!!!
With ALL my "sweet" and tender Love,
Mama Mee OXO

Hi Jesse
This is Trevin. I dressed up like a missionary at church today. Then I changed my clothes when I got home. At my birthday party it was an army birthday party. We had a big war with Nerf guns. Then we had an obstacle course with tires, string, under the air hockey table and then we standed up on buckets and raise our hands up. Then we painted our faces. Then we opened presents and I got a two headed light sabre from my friends. I pray for you every night Jesse. I am going to be done now . Bye Bye I miss you.
Trevin
