Yeah! So I actually stayed down in Philly with Elder Paulsen who Elder Hopkin just got done serving with cause now Elder Hopkin is up here too. So I was with Elder Paulsen and Winegarderner for a day and a half. It was nice because I got to go see R and A. I called and he was so happy haha so we went to see them and a couple other people. I was so sad though because one of the members that I got pretty close to died from a heart attack at 40. I have a picture with him. He was the one that took us to the mall when I got my jacket. It was sad and now R has the Melchidek Priesthood and is still the President of young men's. I see some leadership positions coming with him continuing cause he is great at it. So that it what is going on. Also saw Elder Park. I love Elder Park haha I will definitely see him after the mission. Both of Elder Kelley's zone leaders were my companions. Elder Park and Elder Newbold haha. Anyways so my golden is Elder Wasden! He is from Colombia, Missouri and has a sister on a mission. He is 18 and very smart. He skipped 11th grade and graduated early so he just turned 18. He is a bit quiet but I'm trying to get him over that and helping him with lots of stuff. He is just so ready to work though. We have been doing lots of contacting such as tracting. Ha yes we still do do it. We have had some great experiences with people yelling and saying not so great things. But we have had success. I am now just a trainer which is fine and I actually just saw Elder Weisler last night cause we had a stake thing and we are in the same stake. 

So we actually found this awesome family who now have a baptismal date for the 25th of next month. They came to church yesterday and loved it. We feel so blessed being here. A is doing well. We have not seen him this week but are setting up an appointment with him. I have definitely seen the power of it(blessings) and recently that has been kind of this big topic is staying worthy of it and knowing the sacredness of it. We did see him with Bro. J and it went so well. We are setting another date with him and we will see how it all goes. I think them and the D family. The Lord has prepared many people here.

It is still cold here basically. Which just got more snow like 2 days ago. I good 6 inches. So ya know! 

It has been so great having him (Elder Weisler aka Jake) up here honestly. He still is so I'll be seeing him soon again. We see each other a lot haha. Time has gone by fast! Like coming up again on another month by. It's crazy. I am just trying to continue making my Spanish better and better. I have seen the gift of tongues now cause it's at a point now where I just don't think about it too much speaking. It's weird. I never thought I'd speak at all haha I still don't feel like I speak that well. Well I love you a lot and I will talk to ya again soon! 

Love, 
Elder McArthur
