This past week was SUPER busy for Elder Arko and his companion in the office. They had many many things to do because they had a mission tour from Elder Teixera from the Europe Area Presidency, which was pretty crazy. The Mission President and his wife went down to Göteborg to meet them and they had all the missionaries from that half of the country there as well.
Elder Arko and his companion luckily didn't have to take care of everyone's travel for that, but there were a few times where they had to fix last minute problems and things like that. They also had another mission tour in Stockholm and they were a little bit more involved with the travel arrangements for that one. They helped pick people up from where they were coming in and got them to the apartments they would be sleeping in. They also delivered extra bedding and had to pack orders, orders of which they received the morning of because of scheduling conflicts, but Elder Arko works well under pressure so they got it done.
The Elders also did a large cleaning of their apartment just in case Elder Teixiera wanted to look through it. He ended up not going through it, but a few things got done that were long overdue, so it was a good thing for them to do.
The weather in Sweden has been just great. It was a little hot at the begining of the week so Elder Arko got to wear short sleeves for a few days. The day he sent his letter, it was a little overcast and a little chilly with the wind.
Elder Arko has been feeling fine. He doesn't think there has been a day of his mission where he would consider himself as being "sick". There have been a few days where headaches or some stomach uneasiness have come up, but nothing bad enough where he would say he was sick. Plus, recently his only worry is not getting enough exercise because he spends so much time at the computers or in a car. So morning workout should become a little bit more of a priority for him now a days. Sadly, some days Elder Arko just wakes up and gets in the shower to wake him up. Then, there are other days where he has to get up at 5:30 in the morning to pick people up and drop them off so they can get back into their own areas.
There are also mornings where Elder Arko and his companion has 4 visitors in their apartment and they have to feed them all. The other morning, Elder Arko made waffles! They busted out about 16 of those things and still had to make pancakes to help some people get full. He did however use a mix, so don't be fooled by how amazing it really was :) We're proud of you either way Elder Arko!
Elder Arko is hoping to get a letter sent off to Patri...Elder Arko II so he can have one while he's in the MTC. Elder Arko I thinks it will be way fun to be talking to Elder Arko II while he's going through some of the same things he went through not too long ago.
Elder Arko is very excited to talk to his family tomorrow!
