This has been a fun week for us because we've been able to hear from Aldste Haddon twice with Christmas and pday! He said that Christmas was good, and he REALLY appreciates all of the fantastic mail and emails he has been receiving from everyone! He has seen friends come into the MTC and leave while he's still there learning Swedish! He's getting better and better at it, but until he's in Sweden, it's hard to really get the hang of it.
Homesickness and anxiety among other Elders has been heartbreaking for him to watch, he prays daily for those struggling along side him, and although he faces his own trials as well, he knows everyone will be blessed for their efforts. He also said that the first wave of 18 year old elders has hit the MTC, things are crowded and it has added a different dynamic to learning, but it's great to see so many people willing to serve.
Here are the pictures he has sent home for this week as well!
Thanks again for all of your prayers, love and support! He can feel the strength from each of you and from our Father in Heaven!
This is a fellow Elder opening the "gift" Ty gave him:
