Hey Mom! 

Well I'm gone! Got transferred. Don't know where of course and I have no clue what happened honestly. Everyone is staying except for me and Elder Draper. It's sad but I mean it happens obviously. I'm pretty sad but it's exciting to see who will be my next companion and where I will go.  It was a slow week but really picked up at the end. Yea I translated this last meeting and actually did better than I was expected. That's awesome that he (Ryan) is training! I wonder how his German is. It's a tough language.

Yes! Thank you so much. The pants surprisingly fit perfect haha. I've gained just a little weight. Those were super good but gosh I can't eat a whole ton. I want some healthy stuff maybe next time haha well a mix. Haha I can't keep eating crappy food! I have lost weight though but I'm still bigger than I guess I'd like to be. So yeah. But this week we had such a miracle! Cool story to share. So we have taught this lady A and her husband who are progressing well. They have a baptism date for next month. Anyways, so we go to her though the other night cause her husband was at work. We took R who is the awesome member who was a missionary. So we follow up on her reading right. She tells us, " Oh, I have read much more than you left." We just left her with 1 Nephi 1 and she read up to Chapter 20! She basically told us when she went to read, she said a prayer, started to read and when she read the first verse of first Nephi she just broke down crying because she felt the spirit testify to her the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. It was one of the best lessons I have had in my mission and she is sad that I am leaving but she will definitely be baptized. She already has a testimony of the Book of Mormon after the 3rd lesson! I'm so excited for that and a couple other people who are doing good so there is plenty of work here to still do for sure. 

I feel like I have learned just so much more and especially about the restoration. I gave my last testimony on that in English and Spanish Sunday. Well I'm short on time cause we are going to our Branch President's house to eat haha. I love you mom and I'll talk to ha again soon in my new area! 

Love, 
Elder McArthur
