Just got this week's email from Aldste Haddon- and the MTC is not immune to the flu just because they're doing the Lord's work....he said that about 80% of the missionaries there got the flu and EVERYONE in his district got it except him, he feels like that is a huge blessing and is praying he remains able to avoid it. He even said that at one point, there were no toilets available in the MTC because so many elders were throwing up! Yucky! He calls it the omega flu. Maybe all of his crazy diet and workout rules are actually paying off!
We can't believe it but his travel plans are going to be given to him tomorrow...he said they're getting their flight plans soon, he's excited to get going but he's very nervous to be thrown into the middle of Sweden knowing very little Swedish!
The highlight of his week was being able to meet his friend Hunter at the curb when his family took him to the MTC yesterday. Hunter and Ty played high school football together and have been good friends. Hunter is called to serve in Taiwan, and Ty and Hunter (oh that's a little confusing...since we have a brother Hunter!) plan on going to school together when they both return home. Hunter is in Ty's building and he said he'll keep an eye on him until he leaves! He said Hunter enjoyed the first day there, and if he enjoyed the first day there, he'll do great and will have nothing to worry about because the first day is the hardest!
Specifically, Aldste Haddon said he wanted to share that in the MTC he learned that he doesn't know much about anything be he does know he loves the people of Sweden and feels blessed to be able to get to know them and serve and teach them as much as possible.
And, he loves and misses everyone back home!
