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
