Hey family! I'm still alive, things are well! This past week
was good. We found out about transfers. Nothing is changing with the Hmong elders. Getting some new people in the district though, and one of the elders I
came out with was made an assistant so that was a shock, but he's a cool guy
so it'll be good.
So Tuesday we did a lot of finding and also had some
lessons. It was fun. We taught a really old Hmong lady about Joseph Smith, and
it was awesome. Like usually I don't understand or really speak Hmong very
well, but I was able to really understand and talk and it was awesome! So, gift
of tongues is real, haha. She said she like believed it too, which was cool. Although
there is a bit of a communication barrier though, haha. Sometimes she doesn't
really understand us, haha.
Wednesday was district meeting and we went on our first
exchanges this transfer with the zone leaders. It was a good time. We mostly
just tracted... We found a new investigator who looked like she was at least
like 21, and we set up to go back to see her Saturday cuz she seemed like
really interested. We got her phone number and texted her to make sure on
Saturday and they responded back that "our daughter is 15 and you are NOT
allowed to talk to her without permission" so that was interesting. Pretty
funny, haha. So nothing panned out, but it's all good.
Thursday we did some cool service for a member. He's doing
the police academy right now, so he needed us to hide around the church and he
would come find us. So it was fun, haha. But we also had a cool lesson with the
Patterson family. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it went well. We're
still working on teaching in unity and committing people, but it's all good.
Good lesson.
Friday we weekly planned and were going to have a lesson
with a new investigator, but it didn't work out... it was rough, haha. But, on
the bright side, we had pho twice this week for dinner and khob poob this week,
so they really took care of us, haha.
Saturday was good too. Finished weekly planning and what not,
studies, good stuff. Had another lesson with that old Hmong lady again. She
asked a lot of questions about the Plan of Salvation, and I said a joke that
literally put her in tears for like 2 minutes. Highlight of my speaking Hmong
career, hahaha. Also tried to go see some other people and what not.
Sunday was a good day. We are helping to reactivate this
Hmong family, and they just showed up at church this past week! It was amazing!
A miracle, haha. So we're organizing an activity this week for all of the kids to
become friends so they will keep coming to church. Also, met a cool guy from
Arkansas. Other than that... nothing too much this week. Good week, kind of
just trying to keep on keeping on, haha. Love you guys!
Also, right now we're at buffalo wild wings with the zone, so
that is fun.
Love, Elder McArthur
