I saw all the zone leaders again yesterday cause we had a meeting in Philly with a seventy and President Faust's son which was super cool. 

I'm so excited (about Sister Drinkwater making his favorite meal)! That was really nice of her. We will be over there tonight actually to eat and help put their pool cover on. They are one of my favorite families here for sure. Bro. Drinkwater was actually the previous bishop of the ward. But yeah Teddy plays all the same positions (baseball positions, same as Adam played) and everything so it is so funny. He is a real athletic kid. 

I'm doing great! This was probably one of our best weeks! T finally came to church! E was not able to make it but we found a new Hispanic couple who we set with a date and they came to church also! Very good Sunday. We have not been in contact with D for a little while but we will be soon. We are seeing S and G this week actually. She is excited cause she has been reading a lot so we will see what happens, but things are going great because also Bro. Hansen in our ward brought this new guy to church who we are going to start teaching on Sunday. He says he really just sees something special in him and a couple other guys who are members that he just thinks is amazing.  So we will see what happens there. 

 

We went on a couple exchanges this week and I finally went over to Moorestown. I have not been there yet, but there are a ton of Brazilians, and they only speak Portuguese. I wanted to speak to them so bad but there was that barrier. I want to learn it too! They also did mini missions here so we went to that meeting to give a little bit of training. That was fun and fun to see all the people going and where they went because they gave them a call and everything. 

 

He (President Anderson) is a great man. It has been nice being able to work around him more as a leader in the mission. It would be cool to go to his home coming talk cause he goes home two weeks after I do. 

 

I just don't want a ton (for Christmas) since I'll be home in the summer which is weird to say. 

I have enjoyed just listening to all of the conference talks again and excited for the Christmas devotional. We just gotta stay firm in these days! Well I love you mom and I will try to send some pictures today for sure! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
