Happy Mother's Day (a little late)

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I hope all you mothers had a wonderful Dia de las Madres. 

Mine was very special! As you may know, I got to Skype with my family last Sunday and they're all doing wonderful. 

Especially the great Mama Carter. She's really animated and super ready to take on this chemo! 

So these past two weeks have been a little rough here in Langue. We've been really working hard with our

investigators and helping them progress in the gospel. The faithful Alcides was the only one that went to church 

yesterday. He's a great man. He has recently had stroke, and so he can't walk too well. But he walks over two miles 

with his cane to the church! He is such a strong spirit. He has helped me look inside myself and really see what's 

most important. 

We've also been teaching Sara. She's the joven of 16 years.We've been trying to get permiso from her mom, but

she almost never passes in the house! We finally found her and talked to her. She had a lot of questions about our 

beliefs, but we got to answer all of them. She's still not sure about the baptism, but we told her to pray about it and 

invited her to the baptism. We just need to work harder with Sara because she's become a little disanimated. 

We've read a little of the Book of Mormon with her and she asks a lot of questions, which is great!

We also found this lady while contacting called Lesli. She let us in without much of a fight. We started to explain our 

message and she asked us to teach her everything! Haha so we taught her about The Restoration of the Gospel of 

Jesus Christ and she accepted it all. We taught her about the Book of Mormon another time last week and asked her 

to pray to know if it is true. She said, "Why? I already know that it's true." We then challenged her to be baptized and 

she accepted! She will be baptized the 6th of Junio (My companion's birthday.)

Everything here in Langue is just fine. I count my many blessing every single day. My companion and I had the 

opportunity to give talks in church yesterday as well. It was just us two, so we each had to talk for 25 minutes. 

That turned out to be so much easier than I expected! I also got to direct the Sacrament Meeting as all. That was a 

really cool experience. Even though there was 16 people at church, we really felt the spirit of the Lord.

I love you all so much and am very thankful for all you prayers.

Love, Elder Carter

Happy Mother's Day!!

La vida es nada. Todo se acaba

Hello family and friends, I hope this week has been great. It has been a very special one for those lucky missionaries in Langue! We've really been able to progress with a few of our investigators. We have a few baptisms planned and they are super positive!!

First, Sarah. Sarah is about 99% sure she's going to get baptized this saturday. She still just need permiso from her mom. She's sure she'll get it though. So yesterday we were teaching her and she stops us in the middle of the plan de salvacion and asked us "What do I have to do so I can serve a mission?" That totally caught us off guard! I kind of blurted out, "Well, first you hve to be baptized." Haha after I said that I fell pretty dumb, but then we explained the steps and she was pretty stoked about it. She said that that is something she wants to do!! She's seriously one of the elect.

We also have an investigator named Alcides. He's about 60 something. He's a very humble guy with a lot of physical health problems. He went with us to church in San Lorenzo yesterday. It was conferencia de Distrito. We met with him today and he said that yesterday was one of the greatest days of his life. He will be baptized the 23rd. He doesn't understand much though, so we have to teach him slow.

I absolutely love it here in Langue, I can't stress that enough. I hope President just forgets about me out here and I just keep serving here for the next 5 years. I finally remembered my cord to my camera, so here come the pictures!

Love Elder Carter
