(Let me, his mom, preface this first paragraph for those who didn't know, Adam spent the night in the hospital on Friday night because they were worried he was having appendicitis!  Turned out not to be, but they kept him overnight for observation.  Getting those calls from the mission president is not fun!!)

 

I know! It was definitely not fun. I stayed over night but got no sleep because they come in about every hour checking on me and all that good stuff. I will be sure to give him (Elder Park)some (of the peanut butter balls) and everything! I'm sure he will love them very much. Yeah they said if it got worse or I had it again to come back in. I got the card of the doctor that took care of me. They were all great except one was a little odd and just something about her I didn't like too much. But plenty of people came to see me ha. The other elders came and also Bishop, our Ward mission leader and J who lives above us. Well taken care of for sure because then when I got home the L's brought some great soup and stuff. Hopefully everything will be fine! 

Yeah I'll check everything out on SKYPE and it should be good. I'm excited! 

Yeah so transfers again which is nice because I wanted to be here for Christmas and everything. Everyone is doing good! R was able to go back to work for now but is going to get something better soon which is awesome and also A is just working. He has been pretty busy with that so he can serve a mission so that is good. Also we have two dates for baptism! Their names are G and R, and it was funny. So R is like 21 or something and she loves the temples a lot and wants to go in so we were like well you have to be a member first and all that. Bishop was there too and he was so excited. So we invited them both, and R was like pues vámonos entonces! Which means like well let's go then! Haha so we are super excited for them. Everyone else is still progressing well. We will see what happens with H who is the husband of a member. His whole family are members and they even have a nephew names Nefi. Which is Nephi in Spanish haha. Also had another reactivation here as well! Her name is L and idk what happened but she just started coming every single Sunday. Idk exactly why she was less active. She actually served a mission and is awesome so it is good she is coming now. Also that is L (different person here)! She has been super busy and we are trying to get with her. We will see what happens. I hope she can get baptized sometime soon! But idk still. However, her other daughter is getting baptized next month! So we will see. But it is going well and Elder Park is awesome. We get along real well and he is hilarious. Really good at basketball. 

I'm excited for my packages but I'm thinking and idk how I am going to carry them haha. Also it is going to be a fun Christmas because we are having a sleepover with the other Elders. That will be interesting. It should be a good Christmas. Tonight we are actually having a big family night with the stake at the temple site. So I'll be taking pictures there and all of that. Really trying to get the gospel to everyone.  This is going to be a very good way cause it is right in the city. 

I can not believe Michael (Moon) is coming home so soon! I remember saying bye to him late at night hah. That's crazy. I'm sure the Moons are all excited about that.

 

I think we are getting together this coming Saturday but I doubt that I'll see Jake because he is so far north. Hah yeah it is going to be awesome when I see him for sure. I just can't believe he is here honestly. 

Always love good quotes. You never know whose life you are going to touch and the way you find people is funny. Just a few minutes ago as we were heading back here.  We were waiting for the bus and talking Spanish and this one girl about 25 was like who are you guys? She thought it was very interesting that we speak Spanish. She works at City Hall and is interested in us passing by. Awesome! So you never know and it has been great being able to see how people change. I just always look back at R and A and their lives now. From where they came from and now? Wow. You'd never think that could happen. But I just know this church is true and it is funny cause I have no issue now just telling someone they are wrong and just walking off because if they aren't ready to hear the gospel now then you just need to move on and search out for the elect but you do that by talking to people to find out. Well I can't wait to see everyone because it has been a while! Well I'll have pictures next week and everything so be looking forward to those and I love and miss ya mom! I'll talk to ya soon! Idk that I'll have time to email dad this week cause we were busy but tell him he can read this and that I love him too. Talk to ya soon!! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
