Well this week went alright. Had a few appointments that canceled and things but it still went ok. Yeah I thought I told you but it was great! Few dinner appointments (for Thanksgiving). One at Ronald McDonald, the church, then some members. It was real great but however I was sick so I did not eat too much. I still played football though because I could not miss that! (Of course he can't!)

Anyways but the rest of the week went pretty well. Poor R though. He just lost his job but he is getting with the stake people or bishop to find something. But he told us he can come teaching with us hah which is nice. He came with us the other day and did awesome! We are also going to be able to go to the temple next month because they just changed a rule that we can go once a month to do baptisms for the dead if it is the persons first time that we have been working with. So excited! Also went on an exchange with Elder Hopkin and that went great. It was weird being with someone who knew less Spanish than me though hah but turned out great. He is a great missionary. So yeah! 

Haha we are so excited for Christmas here because we have so much coming up. It is a great time here and also J that lives above us surprised us by putting a little tree in our place! Haha we came in last night and were like um did we leave a light on? But turns out it was the tree haha so we have pictures. That is crazy about Jessey (killing his Thanksgiving turkey)! Poor Courtney (car in the ditch) lol and That is good for Ryan (all the good things going on and getting better in Germany)I'm sure! Good to hear all of that from them. I can already tell a difference in myself as well for sure. I'm excited to skype! 

I can't believe she (Kayla) is leaving and then she will be heading out on her mission! We are getting older hah! I'll be 19 soon! And when does Michael (Moon) come home? I've been out 5 months like that is weird. My 6 month mark is coming up already! Time flies out here that is for sure. 

Scripture study is coming. I was  just read about Ammon teaching the Lamanites.  And they were scared of him because of his strength that the Lord gave him. Then I'm reading about Abraham in the bible right now. So yeah it is going well. 

Also that He is the Gift video is getting everywhere! We got special pass along cards for it and everything and we have showed it to so many people. We are having a big thing at the temple site on the 15th about that and it's going to be a big great way to share the gospel. You never know who it will touch! I just see how it blesses people.  I just know it is true and the gift of tongues is sure real. I've seen it for sure! Well I have some pictures and I'll keep ya updated! I love you mom and I'll talk to ya soon! If ya need to know anything or need something let me know! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
