Hey Mom! 

The new year has already kicked off great. The work is slowly picking up. This past week started a little slow but really picked up with our lessons. There was one day where our Ward Mission leader ended up coming out with us the whole day and we got to see a bunch of people. Also I think one miracle from this week was the N ended up staying with us. So we had this thing we came up with for our investigators who are progressing well that we would make them a weekly chart of scriptures to read each day. So we went to teach her and she told us she was thinking about stop taking the lessons. Then we ended up reading what we had down for her on the schedule and she ended up saying this is exactly what she needed and she was just amazed because we looked ahead on the calendar and their is one about service on Friday and that's what she will be doing some of that day. So we were all just like that is an answer to our prayers. It was super cool. Everyone else is still going alright and found a couple that might have potential but we will see later. Yeah we could not stay cause the party went late and started late but Bishop did buy us dinner. Everything is going good though and just idk where the time is going. 

Yeah we just stopped by a few people on New Years and New Year's Eve so it was fun. I feel like being here for the holidays though is not the same like it was a different feeling but still great of course. I guess maybe cause I'm not as focused on it.  

 

Yeah tomorrow we should be getting snow! We will see if it happens. 

Our ward has definitely grown a lot. We have consistently about 125-130. It is a pretty decent size I guess. It is a ward. Having three has only helped our ward for sure because Elder Bloomfield and a Elder Hopkin are doing work for sure. Yeah we still have a huge area and that is crazy that they (our sister missionaries) are covering three wards. That's interesting how that works but that's nice.

It's about to be freezing! Hopefully not too bad but we shall see. 

 

I appreciate the quotes every week. I'll have to find some to send back as well for sure. Or from the scriptures. I'm actually in Heleman right now. It's been so great to read it all the way through and just learn so much. It's super awesome. After I finish it in English then I'll read in all in Spanish I think. But this week was great and I'm just loving it now but gosh time flies. Well I'll keep ya updated on this week and I love and miss ya mom! Talk to ya soon! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
