Hey Mom! 

So President actually called me to be a Zone leader now which I am actually super excited. Definitely a lot more responsibility now. I am very sad to be leaving but I kind of had the feeling I wouldn't be here super long either. I don't know why. I really wanted to be! I love it a lot. I'll miss the Fletchers!

Things are going great! So J actually ended up dropping us for a bit but R came to church! He is progressing very well and also we just found a new couple who are awesome as well. E and E. So it's exciting but sad I won't be here to really see what happens. Yeah Elder Morgan will be fine. I know he will. And the less actives not as much anymore. Turns out that one of them had back surgery to we are helping him out and stuff because he can't do anything really. R is our best progressing investigator. He actually read the intro to the BOM and also the Plan of Salvation pamphlet. He just had lots of questions about why he is here and where is he going. So we get a txt one day from him saying I understand now thank you so much is what he said. We will set him with a baptismal date tomorrow which is super exciting. But everything is going well here. That couple we found last night should really start progressing. They live right above some members but who are less actives. They are slowly coming back so that is good. Not a whole lot happened this week except I was so shocked about getting transferred but looks like there are other things in plan for me. Being a Zone leader will be way different and much more busy. 

Yeah I am trying to get started on it. I have just never really set goals until my mission like none. I have loved speaking Spanish. Ha yeah we had such a great lesson with that less active family. It was great. He (Elder Weisler, aka Jake) was so excited that I got called to be a Zone leader because I will see him at lots of meetings and stuff. He is a great missionary. It has been great to serve with him.

I do not think it (the temple) is actually going to be finished but I want to come back for it. So something cool! I can't remember if I told you but we are having 3 apostles through the mission within the next 3 months and President is going to try to set up a mission meeting with one of them which would be super cool. So I am excited about that. There is lots going on here in our mission. I always feel like there is. But I would love to come back and go through it for sure.

Yeah I know he (Elder Nelson) was called. It is just weird cause President Packer was President for so long I feel like. He was such a great man but I know Elder Nelson will do awesome. I feel like he will definitely be the next Prophet. I am excited to hear who they (new apostles) will be. 

I hope you enjoyed those pictures and I will have more next week for sure. I love you mom and tell everyone there as well! I will talk to ya again real soon and see where I will be Zone leader! I'm super excited for the opportunity. Elder Parker sat me down before he left and talked to me about it and I had a great chat with Stubbs about it and just my mission and how he has seen a big change in me from when I started until now. I got his email and number so I'll be in contact with him for sure. Well hope the trip will be great! Love ya again mom! 

Love, 
Elder McArthur
