Most of the Carpenters are of a quiet, unassuming, uncomplaining disposition - always ready to support any good work.

Interesting to note a common virtue among the men in the family - always showing kindness and thoughtful concern to their companions and children.

Ora Carpenter Omerza journal, Feb 9, 1982

9 Feb 1982

Today is Melissa’s birthday. Now she will be baptized a member of the church. She is a beautiful little girl. We love her so much.

Last Sunday, 7 Feb. John blessed his new little daughter Melanie. It was a beautiful blessing. One thing I remember was that she would have the power of discernment to be able to know good from evil. What a blessing in this day when we are surrounded with so much evil. After the meetings I went home with the family, had a lovely dinner, and visited with them for awhile.
