WeLcOmE HoMe ELDER Carter!

Colby's younger Brother Mitch returned home from his mission on July 9th! It had probably been about six years since I've seen Mitch but I've heard a ton about him and I've had the chance to read so many of his letters. He's an incredible missionary who served an amazing mission. I LOVE all the stories that just keep coming. I've never wanted to visit Wisconsin until now. I was excited as we waited for Mitch to return but it wasn't until he hugged his mom, his dad, his sister, his brother, and then his sister in law that I really knew what I had been missing. The spirit he brought home with him was so powerful. I am grateful to be apart of such a great family and to be able to enjoy sweet moments like these ...

Oops .. blurry! Mitch is in the front holding the cheese head!

It was signed by a ton of the missionaries in Elder Carter's area - so cool!
WELCOME HOME!
Getting released! 
We're so glad to have Mitch home. I'm finally able to enjoy what I didn't know I was missing. The Carter's our a funny family and Mitch just adds to the group.
