Yup (he's getting transferred)! So I will find out where tomorrow. I also got called as a district
leader so that should be interesting for me! This past week was alright.
Slow and everyone was getting sick. I got a stomach bug pretty bad but
just for a day. Progressing ones are eh. We talked to a ton of people
this week. Doing a lot of finding and so hopefully we will have some
good potentials. I'm actually going to say bye to A and R tonight,
and we saw A last night but didn't have time to talk. We went on one
more exchange and I came with Elder Hopkin. I did have a good experience
though this week. So I have read in my patriarchal blessing that it
says I have the gift of healing. So I gave one to our second counselor
when we went to eat with them on Monday and he came up to me the next
day and said right after it he felt much better so I thought that was
really cool beause we have given lots of blessing here. Also I got a
sweet bag from a less active who now is becoming active. It's from
Guatamala. But it was a pretty slow week other than that.
We did not get hit really at all. We got some snow but now=t that much. I
think we might be getting some more soon. It's been pretty cool but not
terrible. I heard last year was so much worse. I'm staying warm just
fine and the heaters are fine now. Also all that mold is gone.
(Upon asking him what he would like in his Valentine box) Maybe some more cookies! Stuff like that. I normally always enjoy what
you guys send.
I'll be getting one (Facebook page) this week actually and idk if I'll be able to have
you probably. I'll find out all the rules with it. I think I can have my
friends though.
I started reading again in the Book of Mormon so I'm back in 1 Nephi. I
want to read it as many times as I can. Also I just started more back
in the Bible since I have finished the Book of Mormon. It's going really
well. I'm studying a lot of different things though. Learning more
about Joseph Smith and things like that. It's very interesting.
Oh my goodness. Maybe I'll get to see him (Elder Weisler, aka Jake) tomorrow! That's been awesome.
But we will see. I'm sure he is doing great. It's hard to believe his
training is now done as well. Speaking of training Elder Park is going
to be training! He only has three transfers left. We are actually in the
car driving with a family to take Elder Bloomfield to the mission
office. Pretty sad.
It is crazy though of some of the things that I hear from missionaries
and how disobedient they were. It's just interesting that they are out
here if they are going to be that way. I know all of us can do a little
better with it for sure though. No matter who you are. You don't wanna
be at the end of your mission and then be having regrets. I just want to
do the best I can while I'm out and hope I can continue to get better
at Spanish so I can help teach better. I know the Lord will bless me if I
ask and am obedient. I know that for sure. Just the things I have seen
on my mission and everything I know the church is true. No matter how
much someone tells me it's not or bashes. I know it.
Well I love you very much mom! Hard to believe it has been about 7
months now. Too fast! But I'll talk to ya soon again and have plenty of pictures to send either today or next week. Talk to ya soon mom!
Love,
Elder McArthur
