After 9 years of having sister missionaries in our ward we finally got some Elders and Carson immediately loved hanging out with them.
Elder Malay and Elder Mussleman were our first favourites. They would always come over Sunday after church and we would have breakfast for lunch - homemade pancakes, orange juice, and sausages.
All the kids enjoyed having the missionaries over. When Kailey's friends see these pictures on her phone they think she is so lucky to get to hang out with such cute, older guys. She always tells her friends "whooaaa these guys are not for the taking, they are missionaries for our church and they will not be dating anybody while on their missions!"
It is always sad to say goodbye to a set of missionaries when they leave the ward but Carson keeps in contact with them after they leave. The second set of Elders, Elder Mon and Elder Hill, were exceptional missionaries. They found a family to teach and baptize in our ward.
Carson had the amazing experience of baptizing the father of this family while the Elders baptized the kids. It was pretty darn cool for him to get to enter the waters of baptism, having been commissioned by Jesus Christ, to baptize Richard before Carson is even a full time missionary.
Carson looks forward to the day he gets to be a full time missionary for the church and share the gospel with people in another piece of the world.
