So to answer some of your questions Mom:
No, nobody brought guitars on the mission, but lots of Elders buy them while theyre here. Right now we have 3 in our house, I inherited one from my zone leader, Elder Hendrixson. There isn't a whole lot of time to play, mostly just on P Day afternoons.
Yes, we are required to wear our suits to church. Not my favorite thing, but we all receive blessings when we're obediant!
Yes, the water here is generally safe to drink, and I drink lots of water, usually mixed with some juice packets.
And you don't have to worry about me using sunscreen, all of the sisters in the branch ask me if I've been using suncreen, and tell me that my face is burnt. They're just not used to seeing someone as white as me when it's hot and sunny outside. My face is just permanently a little red and will probably be worse after 2 years. But I use sunscreen every day just so iIcan tell them, "yes irm�i have been using sunscreen. In fact, I put some on this morning." The answer is always "But Elder Carr, your face is so red!"
The biggest news of this week is that Vanessa and Sheila were baptized! It was amazing to be able to help them take this step in their lives that will bring them closer to the Savior and will have an impact on them not only for this life and for the next, but also the lives of their children. The impact of their baptisms is one that is infinite when they continue on the path that they started this Saturday.
We have a couple of families that we have been teaching, but almost all of our appointments fell through this week, so it's back to finding new people to teach and helping those who we have already taught keep commitments.
Thank you all for your prayers and support!
Ate mais!
Elder Carr
