Hola mis amigos! The MTC is still holding up after the spirit attacked the whole congregation of missionaries this last weekend:)
General Conference was so awesome! I just loved it! I want to hear all of your "fave five" moments.
I sent my camera home with the sd card. The portrait pics didn't look good, so I'm sending another card home this week... but in case you need to return that card with it, I sent it home... if that makes any sense haha!
Another Provo Temple!!!! Holy Cow! That is awesome! Think about it... first time in history of religion two temples in the very same city! There's tons here in the valley... but its not the same.
I miss you all.... but I really miss Jordan and Dallan!
I love that quote " be loyal to the royal in you." I bet dad was crying during that talk ... dad you are the are the man you fit that whole talk! I loved it! I can't wait till I can say I fit that talk too!
Today I had an awesome temple experience ... ok so I went to do initiatories today and it was way cool... but during a certain name "George Miguel" I could really feel the spirit so strong then the ordinance worker paused got all choked up and kept going. It was way cool! It felt so good. Afterwords I had already changed and was waiting for Elder B to finish getting dressed when the ordinance worker came out and walked up to me and he said " Elder Carpenter it was a pleasure. I just wanted to let you know there were angels present here today" then walked off with a huge joyful smile:) It was so awesome! I can testify when those spirits we do work for have accepted the gospel... they really are there with us in the temple and George Miguel was with me today:)
This last week was awesome! By the way, I sent home some of my spiritual journal today in the package with your letters:)
Chad Lewis spoke to us last night at our fireside. He played for the Eagles. Dad should know of him... something funny he said is... (well first of all he served in a Chineese speaking mission so he works for the NFL doing China stuff) ... but he said the NFL asked him to announce the Super Bowl in Chineese for those viewers. He said yes. After hanging up he realized he can't do it live he only remembers missionary Chineese but they talked him into it... so he " testified that Tom Brady threw true passes!" hahaha
k 6 min
What else? Spanish is good... coming slow still though.
I'm sorry. I should have prepared better what I would say. The spirit is always here. I pray forever!!!
I still think about all our awesome memories... especially the small stuff. I request a page of lists of your memories of us all together... haha... here's one... the Christmas with the boxing gloves! As simple as that!
I love you all so much and letters are on the way! Hopefully you will get more after the package this week. I pray for you all! Pray for us:) Keep sending me Jordan's and Dallan's emails. I love em.
Enjoy life! PEACE!!! Love, Elder Carpenter.... the one and only!
Elder A, Elder Carpenter, Elder J
