August 30th letter

Elder Arko has been doing great lately, still tired, but great. It has been going kind of weird at least for their ward. They've had a rash of illnesses...not all of them are rashes though :) Seriously, they've had 2 heart attacks, 2 lung problems, 1 person that is going in for Surgery today, and 2 or 3 bad colds. Elder Arko thinks it just has to be something with the changing of the seasons. They've been lucky so far because there has been enough people at church. Last week was kind of a close call, but it worked out and yesterday was much better, back to normal.

Some sad news, James didn't get baptized. His family and actually more his tribe was very against it, but it may be more of an opportunity than an obstacle. They are hopefully going to get the missionaries to visit his family and then tell them more about the missionaries and who knows what will happen then? James is still interested, he's just in a tight spot right now.

The Elders have had a few very positive try agains and potential investigators that they're trying to help out. Since they've had more people to visit, they don't have as much time to do finding work. It's been nice for them not having to do 4 hours of finding work everyday.

So, the Elders were having a hard time deciding what to eat...so Elder Arko decided they needed to use the French Fries in their freezer(which had been there longer than Elder Werner, but weren't there when Elder Arko was in Karlskrona last time so he knew they were still good). They also have things called tallrik or plate but it's usually a hamburger Tallrik or Kebab tallrik so they made...meatball tallrik! Elder Arko got a little creative and did some fry sauce.
