Dear family;

The flight was sooooo long and I didn't sleep on it.  Elder Samuelson and I are best buds actually haha. It has been really sunny here. the Language is tough but its coming. even English is hard to understand here haha. 
 I went to the temple today and its really beautiful. We also play football (soccer for you Americans) all the time. There are only 40 missionaries in the MTC and we are the only non English speaking mission here.  I was made district leader, I forgot to tell dad that. 

Elder Albrect, the guy from the instagram, is in my district and in my room. He is way cool. My companion is Elder Griffey he is from Tennessee. I went to the temple today. it is such a pretty temple. It has been really sunny here. Not what I expected. I am starting to understand German so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm so happy Betsy went to MISH!

 P.S. Why have you already painted my room, and given it to Jake? haha. love you guys a ton!

Hey Family,

I just want to let you know that I made it and that England is way further than i thought ha ha. England basically looks like Seattle. It always has clouds in the sky. I haven't slept in 36 hours but I feel great and I'm excited to serve the Lord and make you proud!

Love your son and brother,

Elder Carr

Leaving on a plane

On Wednesday I'm taking off  from Spokane WA to Austria, Germany, and Switzerland for two years to serve and teach the people about Christ.  I'm excited to experience the new culture and serve the people there.  If you want to stay in contact or check up on me in Germany my letters home will be weekly posted on this blog.  Thanks to everyone for your support and friendship, it's going to be an awesome two years that I'm looking forward to sharing with you.
