Okay, Elder Arko started his letter off by answering some questions from those who write him (if you don't write him, that's your cue to feel badly). Yellow mustard is NOT impossible to find and right now they have a pretty good selection of it. He can find other brands besides Heinz as well! Myth...busted. There are a lot of hard cookies and crackers there, but it's not too difficult to find some soft ones if you want. As for Swedish meatballs, Elder Arko is not positive if he's had 'real Swedish meatballs' and isn't quite sure what the difference is. The Swedes generally don't eat much meat, but they do LOVE sauces and Elder Arko really enjoys those. Maybe that's what seperates Swedish meatballs from regular meatballs. There you go!
Transfers will be the 17th of September which will be here before we know it! Then we get to hear if Elder Arko gets to see a different part of Sweden! As for the area he is in now, he and his companion have had a few cool experiences in Trollhättan. They are trying to get a guy to cut back on snus (it's like chewing tobacco, but a little more addicting) and Elder Arko thinks he'll actually be able to cut back and eventually quit. They also had two different people approach them which is quite a big change for them. Both of them told the Elders to call them and see when they could meet with them. It was very unusual for Elder Arko and Elder Seegmiller to have work like that since they're only in Trollhättan one day out of the week.
It has been interesting for the Elders working in another area that has been closed for a little while, but it's also weird trying to cover two areas because of the travel. They usually take the bus back and forth from Alingsås to Trollhättan and it takes about 1 hour to get there. Elder Arko mentioned that there is no way he's riding that distance on a bike without gears! His bike is definatley not the best in the world, but it gets him from point A to point B relatively safely.
Elder Arko tried a little Swedish Cod and didn't think it was too bad. They didn't have the best week as far as numbers go. A lot of their investigators couldn't meet or were sick. This week should be better! He also apologizes for no pictures...he just forgot to take any! Lucky for you, I took some off his mission blog for an occasion just like this so here they are!
