This was a great week. President challenged us to do 1 hour of finding each day whether that 

is street contacting or knocking door. So we did and found even more people to teach. 

Some seem a lot more solid than others but we are working hard to continue to get more. We 

should be having another baptism pretty soon I would say. We are working with this lady names
G. Sweetest Dominican lady ever. She is just home all day and does not have hardly
any company. We asked when we can come visit her again and she said her door is always open to 

us and whenever we want because she said her job is go upstairs and just sit there cause she 

has nothing to do. She loves the church and is coming this next Sunday. So we are
planning to set her with one. Also found these people the other day, a family, who said that we

can count 100% on them that they will be there for our first appointment. Haha so I'm super 

excited. This area is amazing and there are so many people ready to hear the Gospel. 

I saw Elder Newbold again cause they had a baptism with us in Scranton. He has had 2 baptisms 

in 1 transfer there. That's crazy! Ha and we also had a special Stake Conference. It was 

broadcasted and we heard from someone of the 70 and one lady. I can't remember the
name and the Elder Anderson from the twelve and Elder Hales. It was super good and just talking 

about things of what we can do to strengthen our families and how people can change no matter 

what background they come from. They talked about some conversion stories and it was amazing.
One was a Muslim but converted and his story was crazy. Also got to see Elder Weisler. He just 

got called to be a Zone Leader! For how young he is in the mission that it crazy. So I got to 

talk to him again. Elder Kelly will be leaving though. He is so sad but knows it is part of the 

mission. 

I can't believe this will be my second time skyping. That is weird! Gosh it all goes by so fast 

but I'm just trying to take advantage of every day. 

So that is how everything here in Hazleton is going! 

Love,
Elder McArthur
