This week has been another roller coaster ride for Elder Arko! At the first of the week they did the "visonen" or the news paper of the mission. It has messages from President Anderson and the assistants and the secretaries (Elder Arko and Elder Walraven) put a large portion of it together. It also has all the pictures from zone conferences so it is a pretty big undertaking and it only happens once a transfer so that was pretty crazy for Elder Arko to participate in.
The Elders also had a few good teaches at members houses this week. They went on a home teaching assignment with a member and also had a member dinner and those were both really fun. There is also a Swedish holiday on the 30th of April called Valborg. Missionaries weren't allowed to go to the community celebration, but if their ward was having an activity the missionaries could attend. Sadly, Elder Arko's ward didn't do an activity because it happened to be their temple night. Instead they decided to celebrate on their own, the American way, by getting some steak and having a good old fashion grill :).JPG)
Elder Arko's companion, Elder Walraven, is the one in the red. The other two are the assistants Elder Arko lives with, Elders White and Bennion (Elder White is wearing the lighter color of grey making it very appropriate since his name is white:) Yes, they all have pretty weird expressions on their faces, but they are fun guys..JPG)
It felt pretty good for Elder Arko to do that again. He isn't sure why, but standing around a grill of hot charcoals was just a good feeling. They have all missed the feeling, but hadn't noticed they missed it.
Elder Arko can't believe his niece, Paizlee, is already one year old! That also makes him think about his Mother's Day call and he's getting excited about it.
The weather in Elder Arko's area has been mild. Just a bit of rain with some nice cool temperatures of 10-17 degrees Celsius, so not bad. One morning they did actually get a fair amount of snow fall, but it didn't really stick. It's just funny for Elder Arko to see flowers blooming and snow falling at the same time.
So the office there is in Enebyberg which is by Täby and it's about a 2 hour drive to the temple so Elder Arko is a little short on time. He'll look forward to hearing from some of us in a week and a day.
