Carson's Mission July 2022-July 2024 Côte d'Ivoire Abidjan West Mission

I  miss all of you so much and the emails are so so so fun to read so make sure you all keep sending them in! This week was wild. We started french immersion this week and that's been so crazy and also about 80% of the MTC left! So for the next couple days for the first time ever there's probably more white people than black people in the MTC so that's interesting. It was super super sad seeing all the people i've  gotten close to leave. they were really sad as well but somehow at the same time super happy cause now they get to go serve in the field! I'm so so excited for them and I know they're gonna kill it. I've seriously met some of the nicest people. On P-day last week I got a haircut and they actually shaped all my hair and lined me up because they only typically cut black hair. they don't really understand with white people you just typically line up the edges but nope they just shaped all of my hair so thats cool. It was really really funny seein...

  Bonjour! Welcome to week two of your weekly (for now) missionary report! This week has been packed full of events and things to do. Right after I sent out my email last week I had the opportunity to go to the ghana temple and wow. It's so beautiful and so unique. We got to see the sealing room, the celestial room, and I got to go through the endowment as well! It really was an amazing experience and I cannot WAIT to go through the temple in the ivory coast once it finishes construction in 2023! I talked to all the teachers and leaders here and they're all telling me that I'll for sure be able to participate in the dedication of the temple and I'm so excited. I'm actually getting to become pretty tight with a lot of the Africans here in the MTC and it's been so fun! There's a couple of Africans who always grab me when we play football (soccer) and push me over to their side and say we want the american we want the american. It's happened a few times whi...

*Bonjour! I miss you all so much! This first week has been INSANE! The flight to Ghana went well, we met up with about 10 missionaries flying out of SLC to JFK and then in JFK I kid you not we met up with at least 20+ missionaries all heading to Ghana, It was amazing. We all got the experience to meet each other and get to know each other so I knew coming to the MTC would be great because I already made tons of friends. The flight was long but went well! We arrived in Ghana and it is wonderful here. Then we arrived at the MTC and that was such an amazing experience. The MTC looks nothing like how I expected it to. It looks better than I even imagined the provo MTC to be so let's just say it surpassed expectations. There's a full turf Soccer Field in the back along with 2 sand volleyball courts and a workout area with ping pong and more. The auditorium is HUGE and the residencies are amazing! Now the cafeteria. There is so much food wow. And all of it's amazing! ...
