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 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
