Hey Mom! 

I just do not know where the time goes honestly. It's June! I hit my year mark next transfer. Wow. I just think of all that has happened since last June. So weird

Well this week was super good! Lots of great lessons. Found 5 new investigators. I'm just trying to work as hard as I can and I have seen the success from doing so. We taught 15 again but we are shooting for that 20 again. That was actually my first confirmation.  Everything went real well this week actually. He (Elder Wasden) is coming along well. There is still a couple things I'm trying to help him with but the Spanish is honestly coming along better than I thought it would. Yeah haha I sound real Dominican. I'm doing great honestly. Just can't believe I'm hitting my year mark. In my interview President told me that he my just have to pull me out and have me train again haha. Time is just going by quick and like seeing people get home that I remember when they left is just crazy.  I heard (about Elder Perry dying)! I was so sad. I wonder who will be the next apostle. That's a huge call. Just gotta pray for them. But everything is good. I'm thinking I might leave here though but I'd like to stay for at least one more. It's so weird though cause I'm the oldest Spanish missionary here in Hazleton so I have to translate all the time. It can be really hard sometimes! But it's getting better every time I do it. Like we had a combined meeting and I had to translate. This Sunday was awesome cause we had lots of people in church. One of the members we found came. He has been a member since 96 and he is awesome. Nothing too interesting went on this week. Just super busy and everything. But yeah. Don't know what else! 

Yeah they (President and Sister Anderson) are super awesome. I'm glad I'll have him for my whole mission. I'll die (go home) with him in the mission. 

I haven't heard about it but I know there is just a ton of rain out there. We have been getting a good amount recently. Which has been nice cause it has been a little hot. 

I can't believe Jessey is already coming home! That went too fast. Yeah I do feel like I have changed with certain things for sure.

I gave a talk on the sabbath day this Sunday and so I talked about it and how we really need to be better at how we are living our sabbath day and just trying to prepare ourselves more.

We have the restoration which no other church has. That is what sets us apart and we are THE only church with the priesthood authority. I always love teaching that lesson to people but you do have to be bold sometimes in what you say so they really understand and you just have to let them know what this means. But always ask them what it means. 

I've loved my mission so far and to see the changes in people is amazing. I just know this is all true. Idk how it couldn't be. It's my second summer. Just hard to believe how quick time flies. Just always have to stay busy. Well I love you mom and I will talk to ha again real soon! I'll have pictures soon too! 

Love, 
Elder McArthur
