Hey Momma! 

I'm doing great. We had another great week. I think this week we got 14? The week started off just a little slow but it really picked up at the end of the week for sure. Hopefully we have some coming up! We were not able to see his (J's) wife this week but we did have a great lesson with him this week. His wife's cousin is a member and she comes to help us teach. She is great. But! We have been teaching a less active and his little brother. Their names are H and F, and they came to church! H has not been since last June or something. It's been a while but he finally came. So I don't think I have told you about Z. So Z is my age, and he is a member. He has been through a lot with drugs and stuff and his Dad just passed away right before I got here. His mom feeds us and is the sweetest lady and so he has really changed and doing good. He is planning on a mission this summer. His oldest brother served and he has 2 other brothers. One other is active and the other isn't but his mom is very active. Sister M has been a member for over 30 years. So she is Hispanic and only speak Spanish but her husband only spoke English. Lol but after so long the understood each other and learned a little of the languages! So we were not able to see that new family yesterday but hopefully this week we will. They just were not there. But we picked up a new kid who is 16. His mom is a member but we have never taught him. Great kid and so we will see where it goes. N is doing pretty well. She just came across some anti stuff but we were able to resolve it. Luckily that does not happen too often.  

 

We did not work out with Bro. Rothey today but we will be next week. We have a dinner with them though this Tuesday. This week is looking good so far lesson wise. We want to get back up to 20 lessons or more a week. But that is just some of the stuff going on! We helped B out a little this week too service wise. It'll be fun for you guys to meet him! He is going to make us some shirts.

So Elder Hillstead is serving in Reading and then Elder Kelley is in Hazleton. It is sad that we don't get to see everyone because that was always so much fun.

Thank you for the quotes! I really like those. Well I love ya momma! I'll send a picture from our district meeting. We had the assistants and the Zone leaders there. It was good to see a Elder Hopkin. Love ya! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
