First P Day In Sweden!

Mondays are Pdays in Sweden and we just got our first email all the way from

Kungsbacka Sweden! (kind of near England)

Aldste Haddon is doing really well. He said he's really enjoying his companion, the area and the people. He says he really doesn't understand much of what people are saying, but they are so sweet and patient with him! Church was kind of long, not being able to understand anyone and all, but luckily a man from California was there and gave his entire talk in English so it was kind of nice to hear a little bit of the language he knows! We asked him if since he was so near England if they speak English too and he said most everyone speaks terrible English...but he speaks terrible Swedish so its been interesting thus far...

He really likes his new companion, he said he is very helpful and is always ready to support him and help him learn the language and how to navigate the country. Right now, they mostly walk and ride a pentältåg  (whatever that is...) And it's FREEZING there, but they just try to keep bundled up!

This past week they had an appointment set up that they were very excited about but it sadly fell through. While they were trying to figure out what to do instead, they got a phone call from a number they didn't know. When they answered it, it was an investigator from a VERY long time ago asking if they could come teach him and his family. Of course, they were very excited and hurried over, only expecting the man and his wife but were surprised to see six people there. They were all very eager to hear the message he had to share and promised to begin reading The Book of Mormon, his companion did most of the teaching, but he told them about the first vision. He said that they were all very nice about it and were shocked he could speak that well after only having been there for 5 days! They set up a lesson for this week with all of them and Aldste Haddon says he's: "PUMPED!!"

He sounds like he's starting to settle in and get working! Thanks again for all of your love and support!

Home Sweet Home
