Hey Mom! 

I can't believe they (Brother and Sister Fletcher) came! Looks like it was a ton of fun! I hope to see them soon again!  I'm so glad they got to meet everyone! I enjoyed all the pictures! 

Wow, what a week. So! We had a great week because it was Thanksgiving of course! We had 5 dinners. By the end I could not force anything else down. We also had the baptism of course so that went great. It was such a great experience and he was confirmed on Sunday. We are now working on getting him the Priesthood. I'm glad she sent those. So those were the highlights of the work for sure! We had a bit of American food, African food, and also Hispanic of course.  They were good! 

 We just had a great week. No one new this week but hopefully this upcoming week. We are working on finding some new people again. I love this area a lot so I was so happy when I found out I was staying. Elder Hillstead went back to Spring Garden in Philly where I started! He was there for 6 months before! We also had MLC again so I saw him and Elder Weisler. It was good to see them. It was a long day but we sat with President and Sister Anderson at lunch again so it was good just to talk with them. They are just such a wonderful couple. It will be so great to see his homecoming talk. 

 

We went to Philly today! He was the second member we ran in to lol. He said he had heard parents love when they get random pictures like that so he just pulled someone off the street to take it. He served his mission in Mississippi right after Katrina so he said lots of his mission was service. He is from Utah. Small world honestly! I have lots of pictures I still need to send. We took some great ones today so I'll send those next week. Lots of great Christmas decorations in Philly.

T is great! We are seeing him towards the end of the week. He will probably be the next baptism! We have to talk to him about his sister so we will see. I think just the most spiritual experience from this week was baptizing T (the other T). It's always a privilege to do so. We actually had a Thanksgiving dinner with them. Some interesting food! 

So since I got a new iPad I have to redownload everything so I'll have more stuff to you next week. I accidentally left it on top of the car. It was bad!

It has been kinda cold here but not too bad honestly. When we played football on Thanksgiving it was not nearly as cold as last year. 

I'll be looking forward to it (his goody box) for sure! Haven't had them (peanut butter balls) for a whole year! 

The tree looks awesome! 

 

I enjoy them (quotes I send him every week) and definitely have shared them. We use that video (new Christmas video). They give us special pass along cards for it actually so we have to track on how many we give out and how many people we show the video to. 

I'm so excited for SKYPE! It's coming up real quick. It'll be good to see everyone's faces. I won't be so heavy honestly! Well I'll send more pictures and everything next week but I love ya momma and hope you enjoy all the random pictures! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur

           This is the random picture I received from the guy on the left.  He had someone do it for him when he was on his mission and had heard how much we moms enjoy getting random pictures of our missionaries!
