July 12th letter

It has been SOOO hot and humid in Sweden! Elder Arko told us they had the coldest winter in 20 years this past year and he's pretty sure it has gone in completely the opposite direction with the hottest summer. The past 2 weeks have been aweful!. Of course there is no air conditioning since it's never that hot there, ha! Elder Arko has been using his short sleeve shirts as much as possible as well as staying as hydrated as possible.

Elder Arko and his companions finally made it to the Temple! Elder Heinola, Elder Blaylock and Elder Yours Truly :)

President told them they could go a while ago, but it has just not worked out until just a little while ago. Tuesday to be exact. It was an awesome time for the Elders and they also had sharpening that day. Sharpening is basically like a Zone Conference. They all get together and have a nice message from the Zone Leaders and President and then do some fun activities.

Yesterday, the Elders had one of the most successful days of tracting that Elder Arko has seen since he's been in the office. They went out for about an hour and got 3 return appointments and 1 try again. Elder Arko is really excited that this
next week will give them some positive people to teach and get some coming to church.

Okay, well adieu till next week Elder Arko's family!
