Hey Mom! 

I know! Just flies. It's crazy how quick is has gone. Yesterday was that 13 month mark which is super weird. 

 

Well! Haha there is not much to tell. We both came down with a pretty bad bug and were in for a few days. It was not good. So we are ready for this week because we are both better. But it was still an ok week. Our Zone did super great this week! We did have Zone training this past Thursday which was our first time giving that. We have it every month once a month and the whole zone comes together and the Zone leaders give the training. It is always good and we felt real good about it. We got lots of real good feedback and everything, and I actually have some pictures to send from it. So I will send you those. We also had a really good end of the week cause we helped out 2nd counselor in the bishopric move as well. Bishop drove us and we are really getting to know the ward and help out a lot as well. So lots that is going on for sure. On both sides. Spanish and English. We are just trying to meet with everyone to see what all we can do and so far it is going well. We also have a few exchanges coming up again. Those are always the best. But it hasn't been too bad because there are lots of Hispanics here. We do seek out both. We also had a Priesthood Stake meeting last night. I ended up doing some of the translating but there was another guy there who spoke very very well and did a lot of it which helped. We talk so fast in English! We think that Hispanics speak fast but we really do. I was trying to translate this one kid and gosh he was just ripping through his talk. Then when they start reading scriptures is where it all goes downhill. We also visited this man who is a less active in the hospital. He is actually going to lose one of his legs from diabetes. It is really sad actually but we had a great message with him and we are going to see him tonight with Bishop and his family. Our bishop is awesome. His name is Bishop Z. He is actually a convert of 28 years I believe as well. So that is what we are going to do. But that is all that has kind of gone on! 

 That is so awesome that he (Elder White aka Ryan) is a Zone leader too. I am sure he is an awesome missionary. No doubt. A very big missionary. Haha we have a kid though in our mission who plays basketball for BYU. He is 6'11". His name is Elder Andrus. Funny! But so huge. 

 

Sorry these are short but we played basketball today! 

Well happy late anniversary!

Well I gotta get going momma but I love you! I'll send a couple pictures! Love you! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
