Hey mom!
Yea, it honestly is going so fast. Every week
just goes and goes but it is just because we are busy all day every day. Things are going
pretty good just struggling getting people to church. But! We have a
couple people who we should be able to give a date to soon which will be
awesome. And since we have been getting a lot I think we only got
about two new investigators this week. We actually just reactivated a
lady this week. Her name is Blanca. We are trying now to get
her focused on going to the temple and so we got her an interview set
up and everything because she wants to.
I am doing well just trying to learn from Elder
Newbold. He helps a lot and just corrects me, and I'm trying to get it
down quick so he will speak it to me a lot of times, and I know Jon who
is the member above us recognizes I have picked up a lot cause he
doesn't speak a lot of English.
The general authority was so great.
He was also an Elder Anderson hah and so he and his wife shared some
remarks as well as President and Sister Anderson. Really great and smart
guy. He talked about a little about don't think they are perfect cause
he was like I always thought general authorities were perfect until they
called me as one lol.
We try our best to do all we can out here that is for
sure. But yea the weather is cooling down now and feeling soooo
much better cause it had been really hot! Today some missionaries are coming down to play basketball that we
don't see often.
Oh! I got to see Elder Hillstead during the mission
tour! I didn't even know I would so that was awesome. They are in a much
more open country side area with about 2,000 people there.
It's weird taking
subways also like I just don't like public transportation. Idk why it
just is not for me. But oh well. Who knows where I'll end up next. I
would actually love to be in a place like Elder Hillstead in jersey.
Yea, I have pictures that I got on my desk cause Kayla also sent one
which was nice. She said she will start sending me stuff now that I am
in Philly lol.
It's hard to believe it has been so long since nanny has been gone
but I know they are here watching over me. (We were spending the last week with my mom this week 11 years ago.)
We have been able to have a
great week this week and meet some potential investigators. Nothing real
big happened this week although we did invite two people to baptism,
and one lady whose name is Ramona did except, but we have no date for
her. She has been very sick, but she seems to love this gospel although
her husband is as hard headed and stubborn as they get. He doesn't want
anything to do with the lessons although he has to sit in on them
because we have to have a man with us. But oh well maybe something
SOMETHING can get through to him cause he needs it. I mean he is a nice guy I
guess but idk.
Also just really excited for Awilda because everything is
coming up soon for them so she can get baptized and hopefully Roy as
well. We called them the other day, and they said they had been praying
every night as a family which has been tough for them, but they really
have been doing it all the time which was awesome. Just trying to help
everyone grow!
Oh also it was Elder Mask's birthday this past week and
so his mom ordered us, a tonnnn of people, Philly cheesesteaks, and stuff
like that. Well actually I guess it was this lady that works for his
dad cause she called giving him a message from them since they couldn't
talk to him. It was great.
Just having good times and sharing the gospel. I'll
continue to keep everyone in my prayers for sure, and it's been so great
being out here except an hour for personal is not enough time at all in
the mornings to do and read all I want but oh well I try to fit it all
in! It's funny I just have liked reading everything and continue to read
a lot and watching videos and stuff so it's going real great.
Lol also
hearing about Blake cause I am in his email and he is out on the USU
campus and everything. He said he actually saw one of his friends so it
sounds like he is doing well also. Well I hope everything is going well
there and I'll keep everyone is my prayers! Love you mom!
Love, Elder McArthur
