May 17th letter

Elder Arko has Monday P-days again! Yay for e-mail writing on Sunday! However, next week, his P-day will be on Wednesday if he even gets a P-day since it's transfer week and those are always suppose to be completely CRAZY!!! Elder Arko is for sure staying in the office one more transfer and is the only one staying. His companion is leaving and the two assistants are dying (meaning they go home...they don't have cancer like some of the family thought when he used that term during the Mother's Day phone call). So Elder Arko is expecting to be the king of the office next transfer :)

Elder Arko must be quick on the emails this week. They are going into Stockholm to see the changing of the guard and some other fun stuff. They are also going on work overs with the Stockholm Elders so that should be fun for them.

This next little while is going to be quiet the experience for Elder Arko. They have the new Elders coming in at the beginning of the week. They will stay in Stockholm for about two days and then they'll ship them off to wherever they need to go. It'll be fun for Elder Arko to be on the other side of this transition :)

Right now the Elders have about 3-4 investigators that are pretty good. They just don't have a lot of time to meet so it's kind of hard to get them to progress. Sad stuff.

It was really good for Elder Arko to talk to his family again. He said he felt kind of nervous before, but it was the excited kind of good nervous that people get, so don't be offended by him saying that it was super weird to talk to everyone :) He's glad Britlee remembers him and she had some fun listening to the phone call. Also, I pointed out to him that he only has one more phone call before he's home!! It's crazy for him to think he's been out this long. He's feeling pretty old right about now.

Elder Arko apologizes for how short this one is, and sends his love...and a few random pictures...
