Hey Momma! 

Yeah so I had an ear infection in both ears, throat and nose. So he gave me some antibiotics. It hit me real hard but I'm feeling much better now.

We are right by the King of Prussia mall which is technically the largest mall in America. It's giant! We are going to today actually. There is so much history here for sure. I love it here. So my new comp is Elder Beebe. He is a Spanish elder and he is from Casa Grande, Arizona! Super close to us I think. So how funny is that. He is a great Elder for sure and we get along great. He is huge in to cars but I mean he can literally do anything to a car. It's crazy. He is a hunter and mountain biker. He is pretty tall cause I think he might be barely taller than me? Or about the exact height. I enjoy being a district leader again and guess what?! Elder Weisler is my zone leader again! Lol. So I will be going on exchanges with him again. He was super excited. We definitely have people to teach here and are working hard. 

 

I'm so pumped Bama is going all the way! I have been enjoying my stuff for sure. 

 

Oh and yeah those fireworks were awesome and such a great view. Luckily I'm still really close to Philly and actually part of our area is over in Philly. We are just on the outskirts. We also will hopefully be having a baptism soon. His name is J, and he is so prepared and awesome! So I'm excited. They all like my Spanish haha. I had to translate for a Spanish girl yesterday in church. Spanish to English. There are some awesome members here too, and it is the biggest ward I have been in. Our Elders quorum president speaks Spanish but has a different accent cause he served in Spain. We already helped with a move also. So things are good! 

That's so awesome (President Wilding becoming a mission president)! So he was really one of a select few. I mean that's a lot but there are many members in the church. You'll have to keep me updated on that. 

I did not have anything really big this week but I guess one of my favorite scriptures is Alma 26:12 I believe it is. I'll be finishing the BOM for about the 3rd time soon.

 

Hard to believe I have hit over 18 months! It really does not feel like it at all. This could be my last area. I did not realize that Elder Newbold actually served here. I'm going to be emailing him today. It's passing too quickly. I don't know what to think. But I will continue to enjoy myself! Well I love ya momma! Send me some pictures if you got em!

Love, 

Elder McArthur
