October 25th letter

It has been a long week for Elder Arko. They have been doing a lot of work this week and it has felt like there is not a moment to sit down and breath so they have just been going and going. One more thing to add to the fun was they got SNOW! Okay, that was a little too dramatic seeing as how they only got a little and it didn't stay, but to make us all more worried about how 'little Jeff' is going to freeze this winter, he went ahead and took this picture while on his way to district meeting.This was out in the country a little bit so it didn't get at all that bad in town, but the Elders did have to scrape off the windshield. Don't worry, Elder Arko has a car! Plus, he still has plenty of warm stuff from last winter and it's all in good condition so not to worry. Also, don't worry about him using all his warm clothing because the members there do act like their mothers and make sure the Elders are dressing right, eating right (AKA too much), and everything else.

Along the same lines, the Elders get to change the tires on the cars from the regular ones to snow tires so we'll see how that goes. All they have is one of those dinky little jacks. They might go to a little do it yourself places that has a nice professional lifts. You obviously have to pay, but will probably be well worth the cost.

Elder Arko got to teach the institute class this week and it went pretty well. They are studying the book "Jesus Christ and His Apostles Lives and Teachings" and it's going pretty well. It has been really interesting for Elder Arko, not being one who has extensively studied the Bible before, so it's good for him.

The rest of the Elders week has been teaching people. They have a less active who is starting to come back to activity it would seem...3 Sundays in a row! They also had 2 investigators in church which was pretty good. Elder Arko thanks you for the prayers and support!
