Drum roll please...

Well, it's here! 
Toph got an early Christmas present today 
when the mailman arrived at the door looking for an Elder Carter! 
I was able to leave work for a few minutes so we could all find out where he was going! 
And the answer is...



Arizona Tucson, Spanish speaking!!!

He reports 
March 11! 

I can't even tell you how proud I am of my younger brother. He is older than me in so many ways! 
He is going to be an amazing missionary!

Love you, Toph!

Congrats! I think Arizona is wonderful (I grew up there)! You will love it! Don't plan on packing anything warm.... And it's a good idea to invest in a camelback! Congrats! :D

Congratulations Toph!! The Best family is thrilled for you too. We have been really out of the loop lately and haven't checked any blogs for awhile- so this is the first that we heard of this. We are so excited for you and know you will make a fabulous missionary. Imagine a big huge hug from all of us. Make sure to let us know exactly when and where you talk in church before you leave (aka Your Farewell). We love the Carters!!! Merry late Christmas.
