Aldste Haddon has a had a pretty good week in Sweden, the first thing he made sure to mention in his email this week was that he was able to play American football on Pday which, knowing him, I'm sure he has missed!
He said that is favorite experience this week was on pday, the went to an Easter message with a friend who is planning on leaving Sweden to serve a mission himself and an investigator. Part of the way through the meeting, the friend got up and left and appeared to be very upset. Aldste Haddon followed him out of the room to see what was the matter, he said that he was worried about leaving for his mission and leaving his friends and moments like that behind. Aldste Haddon said he told him that he has missed things at home since he has left but he wouldn't trade his mission for anything, and that it is worth the sacrifices. Around that same time, the investigator they had brought came out into the hall upset. He said he didn't understand how they could say that Christ suffered more than anyone can suffer because he had been through so much in his life he just couldn't believe that Christ really could have gone through more than any other human being. Aldste Haddon said that he explained to him that it was just about the suffering, but also the atonement and that no matter what happens, we are never alone and that because of the atonement, Christ knows all that you have suffered and gone through. He said the spirit was extremely strong, and the investigator left. After that, Aldste Haddon's friend turned to him and said after that he knows that he it is right for him to serve a mission. He said he was an amazing experience and he feels so happy to be able to serve a mission.
Thank you for all of your love and support! It sounds like Aldste Haddon is doing wonderful!
