Hey Momma! 

So hard to believe. I told B he has me for one more month. He said, "Don't threaten me!" Lol. Yeah the new place is much better than where we were! Bigger, nicer, more updated. So we are happy! Yeah I told that to Elder Jensen because I seriously feel like we just skyped and yet it's been about 5 months ago. We will figure out a time and everything cause we are still not exactly sure! 

So this week. It turned out to still be good! I got a bad stomach bug but I think from something that I ate. I was throwing up and had diarrhea and I think I actually had a fever too. I was freezing cold. I don't know why I keep getting sick! But I'm feeling better. Still recuperating but I feel much better than the other day. I think I dropped a couple pounds. But anyways! So N finally made it to church! She was so happy to be there. We are seeing her again tomorrow, and she is still on track for her baptism on the 22nd. J and J will be there next week for sure. They actually fed us dinner on Saturday. I'll send you some pictures that I took with there little son. He loves us and he is like one of my favorite little kids. We set J with a date of June 12. She is just trying to figure out her schedule so she can come to church now. So we have two more baptisms on the way! We finally taught M last night and she is awesome. We are excited about her. Hopefully we will get her with a date too but before I leave! The kid was not home yesterday but we are going to try to catch him this week. So we had a solid week. I just was down for a few days but we finished out strong cause we still taught 14 lessons. We had a great testimony meeting and I really felt the Spirit strong. A couple people just bore there testimony of the missionaries and thanked us missionaries. I don't really get emotional but I did a little bit and while I was translating. We also had a great lunch with Bro. R this week. He just texted to see if we were hungry and asked if we wanted to have lunch with him. You have to meet the R's. They are the best. He is just a good role model as well of hard work like dad. So we had a good week. Me and Elder Jensen are doing some good work over here we feel. 

I was so oblivious to what missionaries really did. I never knew the struggles or anything or just how they lived.

Bro. R just got called to be the Stake Young Men's president. He said in the stake and others that they are just losing youth before and after missions. He told me if I go less active when I get home that he will hunt me down lol. But I said I will not I promise! 

Oh! You need to check on Two Brothers two on Lds.org. It is amazing! Let me know when you do. It is a whole series. Well I'll send a few more pictures! Love ya momma and talk to ya on Sunday! 

Love, 

Elder McArthur
