Elder Arko has had another busy week and is getting used to the fact that he's going to be tired for the next two years. He's having a way fun time and will be starting to call members and have telephone conversations in Swedish which should interesting.
Last week, Elder Arko told us that they challenged someone to baptism and unfortunately that one didn't go through...sad day. However, they do have another investigator that might be ready in a little while so he and Elder Seegmiller are excited about that.
Elder Arko felt their zone conference was very instructional for help with finding ideas and just missionary work in general. They also got to have a little fire and burn their distractions, so you know Elder 'pyro' Arko enjoyed that!
And now for the main event...a few days ago, Elder Arko gave a blessing...in Swedish! He doesn't know why, but the member asked him to offer it. It was a very cool experience and very scary, but that just shows how well he's doing with the language!
Elder Arko said that swimming is a huge thing that he's missing right now because they walk past such a nice lake every single day! Also, if anyone even mentions lacrosse, he gets excited and starts to talk about it:)
Okay, on to the pictures. These are Elder Arko's 2 newest purchases! The pink thing is a 160 GB hard disk. That was the only color they had (so he says). It also appears that he will be following in my footsteps and performing some haircuts. I wonder if those are for him or other people....JPG)

This is Elder Arko's new district after last weeks zone conference..JPG)
They actually had a combined one so he got to see A LOT more missionaries and even some from his group that he hasn't seen since they arrived in Sweden. It was very fun for him! The sad thing is his district is going to be getting smaller soon since two missionaries and going home for school. The one sitting on the stage is going to BYU on a football scholorship and the one that is crouching and cross eyed is going to BYU as well (Elder Arko thinks). So the next time you see a BYU football game, look for a receiver with the name of Mathews and know that Elder Arko served with him for a little while and he's a way nice guy.
