Elder Arko: December 21st letter

So, they just barely got about 6 inches of snow this morning! Elder Arko said it was so COOL! The Elders were doing their laundry today and every time they went out, their tracks had been covered up from the last time! Elder Arko couldn't believe how much it snowed!

They have been having good times getting ready for Christmas. Elder Arko and Elder Dees will be going to be out of their area for Christmas visiting other Elders in a town called Luleå. Elder Arko is sure He will have fun with them. He is also hoping they won't spend too much time on the bus this holiday season.

Elder Arko has also been having a great time getting an investigator ready for His
baptism. He is SO ready to be baptized and Elder Arko thinks it's great!

Right now the Elders have hit a spot where a lot of their investigators are not expressing too much interest or are being very difficult to get in contact with. That means the Elder will probably be hitting a lot of doors in the next few weeks. Elder Arko says it's okay since they have had some really funny experiences tracting.

The other day Elder Arko ran into a man that was quite intoxicated. Lets just say he didn't like Joseph Smith so their conversation was brief. They have also found a very nice lady they will probably visit again. The problem is people are so busy around the holidays they all just say come back after New Years or things of that sort so it can be a little frustrating.

Elder Arko and Elder Dees are helping a member out. She lives out in the middle of nowhere and the Elders helped her chop wood and drew water from her well. Elder Arko got nosecicles! Well, He could feel his nose hair freezing and said it was
soooo funny!

Elder Arko can't wait to talk to a lot of us on Christmas and says, "This'll be exciting!" He wishes all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Now for the best part...
