Hey, sorry I didn't get to e-mail you last week. I tried to send it and was never sure if it went through or not. A lot of missionaries are having trouble with the myldsmail server its really slow and isn't allowing people to send things. We're here today around noon and its working just fine, it's probably that on Mondays a lot of missionaries are logged on the server and trying to read and send mail so its super slow.
Anyways in the last two weeks we've had three baptisms! Vanessa and James were baptized last week and Tiffany was baptized this week. You should be getting a letter soon that is the printed off version of my e-mail last week. I have just procrastinated putting it in the mail. Other then that this last week has been pretty slow. Just lots of work.
Tiffany's baptism was amazing. We had most of the primary there because she has 4 primary age kids. With that many kids it was really loud and chaotic but it was still very spiritual. She's had a really tough life and has been through and is going through really hard times right now and she bore her testimony after she was baptized about how she felt an emptiness inside but it was a good empty. It was as if all of her sins and troubles had been taken away from her and she was now capable of living life how she wanted to, living life the way God wants her to. It was an amazing testimony and we're really thankful for the chance we have to work with her.
For Thanksgiving its our p-day. Today is a work day where we're supposed to e-mail and spend the rest of the day working. We're planning on playing in the flag football turkey bowl at 10:00 with the ward. Then we have dinner planned with the Stucki's. Then we have a little fake Christmas tree that's pre-lit and we'll set that up Thursday night. That's all we've got planned for Thanksgiving. Next Monday however is going to be the cookie cook-off. Everyone in the district is going to make their favorite type of cookies and we're going to have a cookie contest at the church and watch "Mountain of the Lord" while we eat cookies. It should be a fun time.
Tonight we're going on post to visit the Burgess family for the first time. They were transferred to Ft. Cambell from Germany and were taking missionary lessons over in Germany so we're excited to visit with them and see how things will be going with that. Then we've got an exchange planned in Hopkinsville, we'll be spending the night there and I'll be bringing back Elder Rigby in the morning. That's pretty much the plan for now. Sounds like things are going well back home and all is well out here. Love ya!! Oh and thanks for the package it got here all safe and sound, the Christmas cards look great thanks a bunch!!!
Love Elder Carpenter
