Hey Family!
Thanks so much for the great e-mails and pictures. This week was VERY busy. Man, I've very thankful to have Elder Bryant with me because he's full of energy and won't let me slow down for a second. :)
That's a very good thing.
I'm looking towards the end of this transfer as a big question mark: what will happen to me after the 16th? I think my mind is rejecting the fact that my life will change drastically on that date.
Well, we built our house and we couldn't find (and didn't want) any truck to help us do our move, so we got a member's wheelbarrow and did the move peice by peice! Luckily the new house was only a couple of blocks away. This whole week actually, we've taken a peice of furniture a day. That include a stove I carried by myself in the rain, and a fully made (and with covers tucked) bed, hoofed by two American elders. We were probably a strange sight, but for some reason we wanted to do it all ourselves.
Our running and sweating in the rain has apparently given some results, as Priscila and now her little brother, Alison, Stephani, and two new investigators, Everton and Rose came to church. That's a record for our branch! Priscila went to an awesome activity earlier this week and we're trying to get Stephani to activities this week as well so that she can get really integrated. Junior is doing well, and we've had some good lessons with him, but it's still going slowly. I'm hoping for miracles! Surely they will come!
Anyway, I hope you all don't mind that my e-mails get slowly shorter and shorter as we get closer to the big day; I'm really trying to gaurd myself against all possible trunkiness (it's a lot harder than I thought it'd be when I was a "greeny", but I'm taking it 1 day at a time, I'm getting there!)
I am so thankful for each one of you. I am amazed at the blessings I receive every day, and especially the many blessings that it appears are waiting for me in UT.
:)
Absolutely amazed that the Lord has so far blessed me and my family so much in this way. I am so thankful to be here for another month and for all the time I've had in this very special corner of the Lord's vineyard. Man, it's outstanding.
Another great week for you all!
Until then,
Elder Carpenter
