Some big news! So this past week was great. We did a lot of service actually, and it was a very exhausting week. Anyways. So President came down Thursday to district meeting. Gosh I was so nervous for it. Him and Sister Anderson were both there, but it ended up going great. So after he pulled Elder Kelley off to the side and then me. We both got called to train and we are splitting Hazleton! We are super excited and it will be very interesting to see how the work goes. So I'll be taking the West while he takes the east. We will all be in the same apartment for a couple weeks until Elder Wilson finds us a new apartment. So that is what is going on! We go to transfers tomorrow and will have some training. We will stay over night I believe in Philly and then pick them up Wednesday. Also, another cool thing is so A, the guy we gave the blessing to for his back, told us yesterday that ever since then he has gone to the doctor and his back is getting all back to normal. He has had issues with it for years and now finally it is much better. So that was real cool. This next week is going to be very busy and trying to find new people with my Golden. It's weird that I am training now like I feel like I just got done with mine. The stake president came down actually for some other business. It was for callings and all that but we are still working towards a branch. O did not get baptized. Keep him in your prayers. He was not able to come to church but we will see him Wednesday. Well me and my golden and I'll talk to him to see what is going on. So interesting week. 

I can't believe she (McKenzie Moline) is home. It is crazy all the people that are all home now and now I'm out here. It's funny how you find those people. Cause you do and I have definitely seen that. I bet she has some great stories, and I know all of us will. I look back on some of my journal and look at the what I have already experienced and what I used to be struggling with but now I am not. It helps you grow a lot. I would never discourage anyone from serving a mission.

It has been nice! There is one lady here who I seriously thought was Sister Andrus' sister. We ate at their house the other night to it. It's the M family. They have a beautiful home. She made an amazing homemade cherry pie with some ice cream. Brother M just got called to be the new ward mission leader. He will do great. 

 

This is probably the hardest and most stressed I've been. I thought school work was a lot and it is but this is just 24/7. You fall asleep at night and wake up sometimes just feeling like you have not slept and you can't just go back to sleep. Got to get up and exercise and then get ready for the day. Luckily I feel like I have adjusted to that well because we get to bed on time and everything.

Well I'll let ya know how my Golden (brand new missionary) is and all that and I love you too! Excited for Skype! I feel like we just did and now it is coming up so soon. Talk to ya soon! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
