This week has been a little rough in Kungsbacka. They've had to start completely fresh trying to find new people, and with a lot of doors slammed in their faces, they weren't exactly as successful as they had hoped to be. They are still very close with the ward and each other though, and had planned to play another football game this Friday with the zone and ward members when he got a phone call from....dun dun dun... the mission president.
He asked that they put the phone on speaker because he had some important information about upcoming transfers. As the President began to talk, he told Tyson's companion that he would be transferred to a new area to train some of the 32 new missionaries they got last transfer (who have been living in a hotel since they arrived, Sweden doesn't have enough apartments for their own people, let alone for the missionaries so it has been a HUGE struggle to find housing for all of these new elders and sisters). As the mission president was telling his companion about the transfer, Ty began to think that he was going to be able to stay where he was. He was getting excited to be able to keep working with the people he has come to love in the past 9 weeks and thought he had dodged the transfer bullet one more time. But then the mission president said 'Aldste Haddon, you'll be transferring to Stockholm to the mission home to be a secretary. I'll be seeing you everyday. See you on Wednesday.' He said his heart dropped because he was really hoping to stay in the city he has come to love, but there must be a reason he's been called to serve in the mission home. Not to mention, now he'll get all of his mail express! So start sending letters I guess, in the past they have taken a VERY long time to get to him!
He also said conference was an amazing experience. They were only able to watch a couple of sessions (reason unknown to us) but he looks forward to catching up on all of the rest of it. He said it is such a blessing to hear from the prophet of God, and to listen to someone who speaks with God directly, it's amazing!
So, it's off to the mission home! We'll have to see what exciting adventures take place as the Lord's Secretary!
