Yeah President Ramos who is the Pennsauken branch President and where we have dinners on Wed. told me (about the Paris attacks). I thought about Cody when he was saying that. That is super crazy! Well I hope they will not have to send them anywhere else for their missions. Definitely let me know what is going on with that. 

 

She (Kayla) sent me the talk so I'll have to read it. Haha she will be awesome. I did not know Abby put in hers. Wow! So crazy how many of us are gone now. But I know it is great for all the families! 

 

Well I'll tell you about my week first. It was super awesome! Things are going really well over here. So E is getting baptized on Sunday. T will be baptized the next! Exciting stuff. But I'll tell you about the best part about this week was definitely the lesson we had with 2 brand new investigators yesterday.  So Brother Hansen has a guy from work who was interested. It was that same guy that came last week and his sister is also interested so she came with him. Anyways, we taught them after and wow the spirit was there. He had claimed to be atheist and lived a pretty rough life and then he met Bro. Hansen and Bro. Wright who are members here because in that company there are tons. He just loved how kind they were and something about them that he wanted. So we started teaching him and he started to feel a lot of things he had never experienced before. We read the story of Alma the younger and he said that is literally like how he felt. The Spirit was so strong and at the end we invited both of them to be baptized and they said yes. So! We will see what comes from there. They will both be coming next week also. It was one of the most spiritual lessons in my mission for sure. But everyone is doing great! T is really progressing well and was at church again that was good. E is all ready to go so we just have to plan out the program and figure out who is baptizing him. I really love this area and would hate to leave for the holidays! We also did an exchange but I just stayed here with Elder Cornelius who is in our zone. We also had a fun ward party but on the Spanish side. That was on Friday so we drove out there with some members actually. I love the holidays out here. So me and a Elder Bowman are doing great! He is a great elder and we get along well.

Aw dang (Upon hearing that Brother Fletcher didn't make it to Texas to see us)! That's stinks! That would have been so awesome. I really do miss the Fletcher's a ton. They were so good to us there. Well hopefully he can make it back out there! 

Yeah I understand some Portuguese but I'd love to learn it. Yeah so the mini mission was for 4 days and with missionaries just in the mission. They had to live exactly as we do which means no phone or anything. They all did an awesome job. 

Yeah! I say lets do it (go to President Anderson's homecoming).  I think that would definitely be a great trip so I would say lets do it. There will probably be soooo many people there I'm sure. 

Well I'm a little low on time. I love you mom and talk to ya again soon! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
