June 14th letter

This last week was VERY busy for Elder Arko. He and the other office Elders had to get things ready for Zone Conferences so it was pretty crazy. Even today, their P-day, things just kept coming up that they had to take care of at that moment. They still worked a fair amount of time even though it's their "day off". However, they're all set for this week which should be pretty easy going with regards to the office.

They've been having a little bit more rain this week which Elder Arko is liking. It was too hot for his taste last week so it's been nice to have some cooler weather, although he;s sure he'll get sick of it all too fast. It rains on and off almost everyday, but it's been nice.

Elder Arko and Elder Blaylock had a senior couple come in this week and took them in to Stockholm for their first time. They got some paperwork done at one of the government buildings, showed them the center for young adults, and took them to see a real Swedish State church. So that was a fun day for them. The Elders had a good time helping them learn a little Swedish and teaching them about the culture of Sweden.

The Elders are hoping to visit more members this week and start a missionary program with the senior couple. They have also been trying to help the ward focus on less actives as well as doing that themselves over this weekend. They had a long list of less actives to visit, but didn't have a lot of success when it came to them letting the Elders in.

They also had a fun night of planning with the staff to replace their usual staff meeting for this coming week since it should be a little more calm this week.

Transfers are coming up in about 6 weeks and Elder Arko is almost definitely moving from the office to go somewhere else. Elder Arko loves you all and hopes you have a good week.
