It is getting cold again in Sweden. There was a little break where there wasn't any new snow, but the temperature was just hanging around zero, but they just got quite a bit of new snow today and the Elders had a great time getting around. They basically walk everywhere now because it's too hard to ride bikes!
Some fun news from Elder Arko is they had 13 people in their branch this past Sunday and one of them is an investigator that is getting ready to be baptized. They've been having a great time working to get more investigators which means more tracting and contacting!
Elder Arko had Zone Conference yesterday so He got all our packages! Elder Arko says thanks to all who contributed to them.
Elder Arko and Elder Dees went on splits this week with the Elders in Umeå so Elder Arko had a fun time in a different town and a car. They had a few teaches and then got to tract at student housing which was quite the experience. They actually ran in to someone from America (Idaho to be more specific) so that was fun.
Elder Arko is getting really excited to call home and hear some familiar voices. He is still figuring out what they're going to do on Christmas. They might go up to Luleå to be with the other elders or they will just celebrate here in little old Skellfteå.
Elder Arko got a letter from his cousin and found out that he will be heading to Mexico on his mission. Elder Arko's advice to him is, "Start doing your own shopping because that was a really weird thing I had to get used to while living on my own. Not in the MTC though that was a very sweet deal. You just have to study your brains out and because there is no brain power left they have to take care of the rest!"
Elder Arko and Elder Dees have recently started a new tactic of finding work. They go into Centrum (like a town square where everyone is walking by to different stops or the bus station) and they hold a sign up that says "ask two American Mormons whatever you want". They had a little bit of success and have met some very interesting people while doing it. They will continue trying it :)
Elder Arko is working hard and sends his love!
