We were finally able to nail down some details about his mission home job from Aldste Haddon! Thank goodness! He said they wake up at 6 and work out, then do studies and get ready until about 10 and then he goes to the office to do work (there are 2 secretaries and 3 aps and they all live in an apartment above the mission office) He works with the secretaries in the morning and then in the afternoon and evening he goes out with this AP companion to teach, then he comes back and does paperwork and so it's pretty late before they're able to get to bed but as he says, someone's gotta do it!
This week they have been teaching a lot of people and have even set a baptismal date with an investigator. They're just praying that he keeps it and they're able to have a baptism. Their tag line is:
"Get the DOP!" (Dop meaning baptisms!)
This week they were meeting a couple from Sweden preparing to serve a mission and they have a son with down syndrome who Ty loves! The other day he was talking to Ty while the AP was showing the couple around and the boy said: "people in my area don't do the baptism often." So Ty explained to him that it's hard to baptize in Sweden but they're trying and working hard. So he got really close to Ty and whispered: "I want to baptize." and Ty said he just shook his head yes but he doesn't think he heard him because the young man took a deep breath, closed his eyes and with all the force he could muster said: "I WANT TO BAPTIZE!!" Then, Ty's companion came in and yelled "Ya me too!" Now they want to take him around the mission to get the elders pumped up to do missionary work because his enthusiasm is infectious!
As always, Aldste Haddon wants to thank everyone for your prayers, love and support as he's serving in Sweden! He can feel your strength and appreciates all everyone is doing to help him be the best missionary he can!
