Hey mom! 

Idk where the time goes. So like when Kristyn emails me she just numbers them and I was like wow has it really almost been three months? Crazy!

 

It's been going well. It has been really good cause recently we have been having some good success for sure. We had 4 investigators at church which is pretty great. I am just super excited for whenever Awilda and Roy can get baptized. We had a lesson on temples which they loved a lot. We finally got Roy coming to church and he said he will be there every week. They have come two weeks in a row together now with all three of their kids. It's awesome.

 

Also, we almost and most likely will have another reactivation if not 2 more. Things have been great for sure. 

 

Lol it was so funny so this lady Noemi that we are teaching who I feel will get baptized for sure I guess loves how I speak my Spanish haha with the accent I have. But I thought that was a good thing because then I know I have an ok accent! 

 

Hope you enjoyed those pictures from the party and everything. So much fun. 

 

Oh so we have these two investigators that are related and so we have been trying to get them to church. So yesterday they were like alright you guys come to our church and right after we will go to yours. So we did!  It was nice and all but I just didn't feel right. Then after when we went to our church like wow such a huge spiritual difference for sure.

 

He (his companion) is an awesome guy honestly.  He is from South Jordan, Utah. Six siblings and has a little brother who is getting ready to serve a mission. He is pretty tall and is pretty good at basketball cause he played, but he is a little bit more into music and has a real good voice. So singing in the morning is alright haha cause he can and is trying to teach me. So that's interesting! 

 

Oh so in the other church we met the minister and talked to him for a second.  That was interesting. He was like so Mormons huh? He was like oh you guys are building a temple outside of my office.So funny but nice guy really. 

 

Jordan emailed me as well saying I should have to pay him to even be talking to him right now. (Gotta love the big brother giving little brother a hard time.)  

 

Also, I am super excited for conference! We have some investigators coming I believe as well which will be great for them especially. Just love hearing what they all have to say for us. 

 

I cannot believe Michael is coming home so soon and then has to go to school. I remember when he came and said goodbye to all of us like wow and I've been out about 3 months already. 

 

Yeah Christmas is coming up so soon and it'll be crazy to get to see y'all and talk! 

 

So how are the sisters in our Ward? I'm sure great. It's funny seeing all that they have to do now and allllll that they have to plan out (now that he's a missionary too). It is crazy. But rewarding and has helped me learn a lot. Kind of sad to see these two missionaries leaving that I got close to in our zone. Like going home leaving ha oh and Elder Mask got transferred! So bummed about that. He was like literally the only one! So that's a bummer. 

 

I fasted yesterday as well for all of that. Gosh fasted for about 26 hours actually cause we had to see someone ha but was not starving. Seen a lot of things in the power of fasting and in praying with others. 

 

We have been teaching about temples a lot lately and it is really making me want to go so I hope sometime soon! 

 

I'll have plenty of pictures! We are going with our zone leaders today to central city. 

 

We are staying busy. Been a slower week but it'll pick up. I love this work and the Lord. Love you so much mom and thank you for all that you do for me!! I love you!!!!

Love, 

Elder McArthur
