Hey Mom! 

Yeah he is super excited (Elder Weisler, aka Jake about us moving to Arizona too)! He said it'll be just like old times haha. That will be nice to have them out there! Haha Stephen will definitely be happy. Yeah I definitely have to get back (to Plano) for a while. I hope I'll be able to speak there! I would love to. Just cause that is where I left from. Yeah the house is beautiful. I'm excited to actually see it and everything. Just crazy that we will be out there! It will be nice to be by family. Especially for all the holidays. 

 

Yeah so we had a great week!  We also found another new family who are Puerto Rican that we are working with. Great family. We just talked to her and showed her the new Christmas initiative while she was outside setting up decorations. So we will see what happens! This would be my third baptism. Remember E? Him and Tu. But I'll probably have 5 here because I know we can get T, his mom and his Sister. Our Bishop is going to come with us to see them so we are super excited for that! So it was a great week for us. They all came to church and things are progressing very well. We also went on an exchange and I went to Camden again. It is interesting as always but it was a really good exchange. I went with Elder DeLand. He is from South Jordan like Elder Newbold(Jeffrey) haha.  He is a great Spanish elder so we had a good time. Oh! So Elder Bowman also kind of pulled me in to singing in the choir for Christmas at church. Sister Westman is in charge and asked us while I was on an exchange. But hopefully it'll go well! Haha. We have just been having lots of good things happen. I love this area a lot! So we did not get to teach K but we picked back up with D! If you remember him. He has been swamped with work cause he works the night shift and then sleeps during the day. But he should be at the Christmas program this coming Sunday. Now we are working on getting Tu to the temple! If we go we will go to Manhattan! We already mentioned it so we just have to plan a date. Tu just met with Bishop yesterday about the priesthood so everything should be good to go! I've never been to New York so that'd be awesome. 

Me and Elder Bowman have definitely enjoyed all the goodies. I'm eating them a little slower. I find when I eat too much of that stuff it makes me just feel tired. His mom sent him some good fudge so we have been eating that too. Yeah so the Westmans are going to have us over so we can skype at their house. They are excited. They will be skyping with their daughter also! They have 5 daughters I believe? So big family. So we will be skyping from there and you can meet them. 

I'm excited for Dad as well. I know it is a big blessing for him. Sounds like it will be a great opportunity. I bet the girls are sad and I know there friends are. But I know they will see them again! And keep in contact for sure. But I know it is hard. But I look at all the great friends I made in Dallas after the move. We will all stay friends for a very long time I know.

Well if you have any more pictures from out there or anything send them my way. I'll try to get more out today also. Love ya momma! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
