Hey Mom! 

Yeah! This was a great week. We had kind of a lot of stuff cancel but it still went great. We got a few new investigators actually this one.  His name is D. He was previously Muslim but very open to seeing what we are about. His mom is an active member in our Ward actually. They are African as well. Yeah that food is so spicy! But I did not get any this week cause we went on a few exchanges. I brought Elder Foster for one of them here who is new to our zone and Elder Riley went to their area. We had an awesome just super busy day. But it was a great exchange. Just running around everywhere that day. We did another one with the Camden Spanish Elders. I went there with Elder Padilla and Elder Knuth came to our area with Elder Riley. It was a good exchange,  I've really been able to get over the fear and just talk with people so I try to help other missionaries get over it. We had a great week and especially with getting people out with us. The Ward is very supportive and awesome. This past Sunday I went to Camden for church because we had Ward conference. So me and Elder Riley did an exchange with the Camden English Elders so that way one of us could go to Cherry Hill and the other to Camden. It was a great Sunday there but so different going. It's been a pretty long week though. We also went to help out with another huge "Sweet 16" party. We served some food and all that good stuff. It was all Hispanics. Every week is just flying. I'm excited for General Conference and just the holidays. We went to the mall today and it smelled like the holidays because of all the stuff they have put out. Sister S is reactivated and just fine. 

We do call it a Spanish twig because it is not a branch. They are still part of the Camden Ward until they build the building over in Camden. It will be done in 2017. President Sikahema talked about it in Ward conference. 

We are going to Philly the Monday after the Pope leaves. 

Christmas is around the corner! We gotta get through Halloween and the Thanksgiving though first. I wonder where I will be. I could be here but I could go somewhere else between then and now. I'd like to be here! 

Well everything is going good here and hard to believe September is just about over. Love ya mom! Talk to you again next week! 

 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
