It sounds like Aldste Haddon has a had a good week in Sweden, he was able to go to zone conference and see some of his MTC friends and meet with the mission president who he loves and is very grateful for. He said that things are going well in the mission, and there are some excellent ward missionaries and mission leaders that are making his job a lot more fun...I mean more successful!
We're not exactly suppose to copy and paste his emails, but he shares the following story, it's almost a quote but I have changed some things...sorry aren't rules meant to be broken every once and awhile?
This is a story about someone they have been working with:
...We get there and she has her whole family there and a Preacher. Oj då! So they were all very upset that we were trying to Baptize her. So we taught them the Restoration and why we have to baptized in this church, Spirit was strong but it was also very hectic because of all of the different opinions. I was some what quiet for a while because everyone was talking. I finally just said (In Swedish)
"Can I say something." They all stopped talking. I looked at our investigator from across the table and said pointing around the room,
"You can't listen to them, you can't listen to us." Paused for a second, then said,
"You have to feel and listen for the Holy Ghost, that is how God will answer you. You have to find out for yourself."
The spirit was so strong, Everyone in the room agreed and said that if she knows in her heart it is true, they will support her. We left and I just knew that, the spirit touched everyone of there hearts. I'm just some 19 year old boy, I can't convert these people, and I can't speak the language that great or change these peoples hearts. But, I know that through the Power God has given, kids like me, anything is possible. I never thought that i would feel this way but i love missionary work, Its the greatest thing I will be able to do my entire life. I'm so happy to be here!
