Hey Mom!
I know! It is coming up quick. I
will! I have an idea a a thing or two. That is so weird that it is here
again. Doesn't feel like it. This time last year I was just being
finished training by Elder Newbolf(Jeffrey) haha. She (Megan) is too young to be
getting that (learners permit). Just doesn't seem right!
Luckily we get fed basically every
single night here haha. The calendar is completely full for this week.
It
(trip up to the Restoration site in Susquehanna) was super awesome! You can just really feel the spirit so strong there
and it was so beautiful because of the time of year it is. I got to
catch up a ton with Elder Hillstead and Elder Hopkin. We sat next to
each other. It was just so much fun. We talked for forever but gosh were
we tired when we got back home. The sisters do a great job with the
tours up there. I learned a few things that I did not know before so
that was cool. The chapel is beautiful. The carpet that is in it is the
carpet they use in the temples. We will definitely have to visit it all
when we all come. We really thanked president a lot cause he has to get
permission from like the Presiding Bishopric or something like that. I
think one of best parts was honestly the river. Just knowing that is
where they were baptized and being in sites where there were angels. You
really feel the spirit.
So T is doing
great! Still just got to get to church but they are coming to the Trunk
or Treat. We are seeing S and G Friday but as far as we know
they are great and still reading. We are trying to see D but his new
job is keeping him pretty busy so we will see what happens there. We
found some new people this past week for the up coming week that seem
like they could be solid. Some Hispanics! Also we are about to start
teaching a guy who just got out of prison for I believe a DUI or
something. He did not pay that tickets or something like that. I am not
really sure but he is a very good guy. We have dinner with him and his
wife tonight so we will see how it goes. Things are going good though.
The week was a little rough just with things that got cancelled but it
happens. We have such a busy week though cause we go to Philly on Friday
again for MLC. That's the meeting we have for the ZL's and Sister training
leaders. Also an exchange and then all the trunk or treats haha.
(asked him if they were trunk or treating) Nah
we are just helping handing out candy and all of that. We have invited
some people so hopefully it is a good turn out. It should be. I'm
excited for the holidays! This area though is turning into one of my favorites by
far. Time just keeps flying. I think it goes faster when you are in
leadership. At least to me it does.
Today is in
the 50's. I can live with that. Hopefully I do not go back up north for
the winter! Haha but who knows.
I get Kendall's emails now. So crazy she
is gone too! So many of us out it is crazy. Yeah I just heard from
Annie recently. That's so weird! I feel like I was just with him (Jacob Crandall) before
he was leaving.
(about his Christmas list) I'm really trying to think. I'm going to make it my goal to write a
list cause I'm not 100% sure on everything. But I will do it I promise!
Well I love ya mom and I'll send some pictures!
Love,
Elder McArthur
