Heavy Lifting in the Mission Office

This is Aldste Haddon's first week in Stockholm and it sounds like it has gone pretty well. Since arriving there on Wednesday, he said he has carried 4000 Books of Mormon from the bottom floor to the top floor, he says he's not very good with computers but he's good at lifting so that must be why he's there. In fact, I think he is probably in 7th heaven because they have a weight bench there, and he's been able to lift it with all of the weights ("only" 275lbs. but it has earned him the reputation of the heavy lifter) He said that he has two companions, one who is in the office all day who is from Sweden and is excellent with computers and gaming, and LOVE to tell Ty all about it! And, the other is from Finland but went to a Swedish school growing up so he speaks Swedish VERY well. He said that he is AWESOME and the assistant to the president. They go out and teach  from 2-9pm after the office work is completed. Aldste Haddon also said that his AP comp. was driving down the road the other day and just slammed on his breaks and jumped out of the car, kinda freaked Ty out at first but then he handed their food to a homeless man. He said it was a good experience but still fun and crazy because of the way the companion did it!

Stockholm is the largest city in Sweden so it has been an adjustment to be there after being in a smaller town but he is enjoying the experience so far!
