Hola Family,

Taken from Elder Carters Casa

Yes, it is always good to get your emails! Jessica and Chris have been living at the U for 2 weeks already?? Really? Ha-ha does she call everyday? Oh I was wondering.  Those watermelons you have been getting lately sound so good. But yeah the watermelons here don’t really have a whole lot of flavor, so they always add sugar, but they put some sort of sauce or powder on everything ha-ha. Yeah all the temples are amazing! I don’t think I will be able to go in the temple until October, but at least I can go right? It will be nice when we can go and maybe we will be able to go before October! Yes we climbed another volcano, but at 4 in the morning so we were back down by 11:am. We had plenty of time. Well someone does our laundry for us and the house work, we do that every once in a while ha-ha. We always make our own breakfast, and usually for lunch we go to Emilianos, the restaurant of the members. Then we get dinner at a member’s house or we make some eggs and beans, something like that. It depends on the day; we have been making more food lately! How was the BBQ?? And the cheesecake?? They make cheesecake here too but it’s not the same ha-ha. Yeah Mom, I hope the surgery helps you a lot! I have started doing exercises, something called insanity ha-ha.  It’s pretty hard, but I like it because I actually sweat, and I can feel good after, like I have worked out! :)

Did Arron Bishop come to Salt Lake with Maren? Or do you know what he is doing with his life?? Maren going to school at BYU Idaho sounds like fun! I want to go to BYU Idaho when I get back! Yeah I think today I am going to take a nap too! Ha-ha, we will see! And then play some soccer, just a normal pday! :) Oh yeah, I got a new companion by the way! They changed the one who didn’t want to work, and sent another companion that leaves in August, but he is a super hard worker! I am loving it! This week we did a lot of work! And this next week we have even more planned! :) So I am happy that they changed him out. My new companion is from Guatemala City, the capital, and he is a big guy. I will have to get you a picture this week because we haven’t taken one yet. But now we are getting to work! How is everything else at home and how are the puppies (dogs)?? I miss American puppies.  The ones here are super dirty and mean because everyone just kicks them and is mean to them.  But I love you all so much! 

Thank you for everything you have done for me! Without you guys I wouldn’t be here. Love, 

Elder Carter
