Hey Momma! 

We had a great time down in the city today. But luckily Bro. R was nice and bought our lunch.

Yeah! I have read about it on Lds.org. (the bombing in Brussels with the missionaries) Wow! I didn't know Elder Hillstead knew him. That is crazy. There has to be some sort of reason. That is just so scary and what is happening over there. Cody was the first one I thought of so I checked to make sure I did not see his name. I definitely am aware. I just can't imagine how that will impact them but it seems the missionaries stayed strong. 

We had a great week! Plenty of people at church this week. N is still doing great. We are still teaching E, and he actually is already ordained an Elder! But actually now we are teaching his work partner. She is very interested too and we also got another new investigator! Her name is J. She is the girlfriend of a less active who is slowly starting to come back now, and it would be so cool because he could baptize her! N would definitely be the closest to baptism I believe right now. This week we taught 17 lessons so it was a great week. There is a less active lady that we are teaching and she had a son on a mission who actually just returned home! On Wednesday. He is basically helping her get re-activated. His mission completely changed him and he is going to start helping us out so we are excited. His name is S. J who is J's wife finally came to church! He ended up having to work. We were pretty bummed about that, but we are going to see them again this weekend. It is just hard to believe that transfers are coming up! We had a good Easter. Our dinner cancelled actually cause sister S, the wife of the family that was going to feed us, got sick. But luckily another member just called and said to come over to eat so of course we went. But it was definitely a different Easter. Just did not really feel like it. But we had some great lessons this week. I don't really have some crazy spiritual story from this week but I definitely feel I'm listening to the Spirit easier and really trying to just let it guide me because it does all that time. I'm just excited for General Conference honestly cause I love hearing from the Prophet and Apostles. 

Translating doesn't make me nervous but it helps my Spanish a lot. I am trying to really continue improving and I love it. It is very tiring though for sure. 
 
Time definitely keeps flying! Hard to believe we will be skyping so soon again. I have some pictures to send home so I'll send them. I'll tell you more about our day today next week and all of that cause I'm kind of short on time. I'm glad Dad enjoys it out there. Sounds like it was definitely meant to be! Well I love ya momma and I'll send pictures! Talk to ya soon! 

Love, 
Elder McArthur
