Miracle from 10 years ago- Week 49

Hey everyone! I hope your week was fantastic. This week was a little bit of a slower week for us. We had fewer lesson and just overall we didn't do as much. Although we did call a few other missionaries just to check up on them and see how they were doing and we started talking to an elder who was living in China about 10 years ago. And 10 years ago my grandma and grandpa Ricks had been serving a mission in China. This elder said he knew my grandparents and thought they were the coolest people ever! I sure love my grandparents and the whole family. It is sure amazing to see miracles through my family members. I know that families can be together forever through our obedience to God's commandments. I pray you all can give a special act of kindness to someone who needs it this week. I love you. And look up to you.

And my grandparents sent me a package! Thank you for those goodies grandma and grandpa Pincock!

Arizona is HOTTT- Week 48

It's been quite the adventure since I've been back out here in the mission! I never knew missions could be so different! I'm in an area super close to Phoenix. Called Paradise Valley. We have 3 different companionships in our ward! Lots of work to get done I guess. So technology is absolutely the best thing ever! Who would have thought that missionary work would only be possible through our phones and social media? I never did. I'm so grateful for a loving God who knows how to help us in times of need. My companion is Elder Gomez-Ang from a city right outside of Mexico City actually! But has lived in North Carolina for several years with his family. Speaks perfect English and Spanish! My area is a Spanish speaking area and we have many people in teaching. It's super hard to get into contact with many people because they are so busy?!? guess people are starting to go back to work now. But! We were able to have several lessons this week and that was just amazing to get back into the teaching and everything. Anyways! I'm doing great here in Arizona and I love being a missionary.

We dropped Carson off at the Idaho Falls Airport this morning! He is on his was to Arizona. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I think maybe because we got to say see you in 13 months instead of having to say 24 months!

A missionary again!

May 10, 2020

Carson was set apart tonight. He is officially a missionary once again!

One week left at home- Week 46

Carson will be going to Arizona on Monday the 11th to continue his Missionary Service.
He flew to Oklahoma and spent the last weekend with Braeden and Shay.

April 30, 2020- Reassignment

Carson has been reassigned to the Scottsdale Arizona mission leaving in 12 days, May 11th. We don't have much information at this point but have been told this may be temporary and there is a chance he could still go back to Mexico. At this point he is feeling pretty anxious but ready to go to Arizona, get settled and finish his mission there. We live in unknown territory right now and know change is eminent. It's a hard time to be a missionary and a missionary parent.
