So, Elder Arko has been a little too busy to take pictures this week...okay, well He just didn't think about it. Anyway, Elder Arko has been having a fun time getting to know a lot of people.
It is STILL snowing there! Everyone is talking about how much they are ready for summer and Elder Arko is starting to agree with them. It just seems like once the snow starts melting another storm comes in right after it!
This coming week the Elders are going to be focusing on getting more activities with ward members, less actives, and investigators. They're going to be trying to get more people involved with little events like ping-pong and possibly a study group or something of the sort. Elder Arko hopes this will work because they have such a small branch to do these kind of events, but if they do it right, it could help a lot of people become active or have new interest in church.
The Elders had a teach with a Chinese person and a Muslim person at the same time so that was pretty interesting. They explained a lot of their beliefs and also about Christianity in general. It's very interesting for Elder Arko to see what different religions belive and often how close they are to the LDS core doctrines. They really had a good discussion about different religions.
The Elders were also able to go on splits again and had a few fun times with that; as well as tracting. They have been teaching a good amount and having good times with the members. The Elders will hopefully play billiards today with a bunch of members and investigators so they are excited about that.
The Elders got a nice less active family to go to church this past Sunday and it was very good to see them there. They were also aked to help out by teaching one of the older primary classes...yeah Elder Arko teaching primary. It was kind of scary, but it went well. The Elders had a little bit of candy to keep the kids interested and it worked out well :) that is until the kids wanted more candy and they didn't have anymore. After that the Elders were known as the candy men.
That's all for now from Elder Arko aka The Candy Man!
