November 1st letter

Halloween passed by the Elders without too much of a 2nd thought. They made some jokes about planning to dress up like Jehovah's Witnesses by just taking off their name tags...ha ha...yeah, missionary jokes are stupid :)

Surprisingly, they didn't get snow this whole week. They'll be ready for it when it does come back. They just changed their tires so now they're rockin the studded ones :) It's a little early to change, but the end of the transfer is going to be around the first of December and they didn't want to take the risk of not getting it done. So, they took the car to this do it yourself lift and it only cost about 10 bucks to use their industrial lift for half an hour. That meant they didn't have to mess around with one of those stupid little scissor jacks, plus it was a lot safer.

The Elders had a great activity this week at the church with a bunch of people. All they did was play ping-pong, but they had about 15 people there and it was fun to sit around and talk. They also played around the world with ping-pong so that was really fun. Elder Arko's only regret is he forgot to take pictures. The Elders also helped teach primary this week! It was really fun for Elder Arko. They had all the kids hold some ingredient from a cake recipe (of course they were all fake or child proof in some way...they're not that stupid). The Elders had the kids combine them all to make a cake, the same way our families combine in the temple forever to make a great chocolate cake! :) Needless to say, the Elders were pretty popular among the kids after that. Elder Arko is just glad they don't have to think up something every week to keep those little ones entertained.

Guess what? Elder Arko has a plant now :)

And here is Elder Arko's vegetable and fried meatball meal :) He just keeps surprising himself with ingenuity!
