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
