Elder Arko has had another fun week. They had zone conference in Helsingborg on the 16th and a stake conference in Malmö on the 19th. Luckily, they didn't have to travel all the way to Malmö because they had a video uplink for them in Kristianstad. Still a ways to travel, but not as bad as Malmö.
Elder Arko was really sad to hear about Max Wood, a family friend a neighbor, passing away. Elder Arko remembers that it was at the Wood's place where he was first able to participate in a Priesthood blessing. That was pretty special to him.
It's transfer week so Elder Arko will be finding out his fate this week. He's got a feeling he might be staying this time which would be AWESOME! The area is doing well and the Elders might start up an institute class or get something like that going. They also might have a few people getting ready for baptism which would be super cool.
The Elders are working with quite a few less actives right now. Sometimes people don't want contact with the ward, but they'll let the missionaries come over so it's a nice way to get in with them. The Elders work closely with their ward mission leader who is a great help to them. Elder Arko really likes him. They need to use the ward members more though. Their member teaches have gone way down which is very sad.
Elder Arko had a new experience this week. The Elders went and spoke to an English class at a high school in Karlskrona. It was fun because the kids got to learn a little about American culture and "Mormons" which was fun for Elder Arko. They also got to carify some of the 'American stereotypes' like "is everyone there really
fat?" ha ha. High school!
Well, that's all for the week. Elder Arko sends his love!
