Return with Honor – Elder Carling’s Farewell
Through dusty streets and skies so wide,
You walked with faith, the Lord as guide.
In Juárez’ heart, both bright and dim,
You shared the light, you followed Him.
The Book of Mormon in your hand,
A gift of love to heal the land.
With every home, with every door,
You taught of Christ forevermore.
The Spanish words now feel like home,
But time has come—it's time to roam.
Yet though you leave, your love will stay,
In every heart, in every way.
"Return with honor," bold and true,
The Savior walked this path with you.
And though this mission finds its end,
Your call to serve will never bend.
For faith is not a place or time,
It’s written deep, it’s made to climb.
So carry forth, with love so bright,
Your mission shines in endless light.
Elder Carling returns home on April 18, 2025.

Hello Midvalley Ward Family,
A few of the good causes we are anxiously engaged in this past month as Senior Missionaries are:
Teaching a Relationships and Life Skills class at Huntington Beach Institute
Supporting young adult wards with activities and church services
Temple trips
Inviting friends to church and ward events
Teaching piano lessons
As we celebrate the glorious Easter season, we invite you to establish new Easter traditions within your own families as President Dallin H. Oaks counseled in his message to the world.
One such tradition can be preparing an edible garden tomb. We’ve created a video that shares this simple recipe while summarizing the good news of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. https://youtu.be/zsZun4LlrbI Jesus is Risen!
Love,
Elder & Sister Matheson
