Valborgsmässoafton

It looks like Pday has finally rolled around again! Aldste Haddon said that they had Monday off to wear jeans and enjoy the Swedish holiday "Valborgsmässoafton" which is a holiday where all of the people go out in the back yard and burn stuff (he thinks that must be a hillbillies dream come true and we should do it here.) He doesn't know what it means or why they do it, but he enjoyed the day off that is for sure.
 
He got another new companion since we last heard from him and he says that he's a stud and really enjoys working with him, but don't worry, that won't last for very long because next week he's being transferred to Taby, which is the wealthiest area in Stockholm, he'll still be living in the Mission Office but he will just change the area that he's working in and getting two new companions who are greenies that he will finish training. He said that this will be his 5th area since arriving in Sweden in January! He said that he feels sad every time he has to leave families that he loves. Right now he's working with a wonderful man who is from Iraq and has been Christian all of his life. He said that his children are baptized and he says he's going to: "get the baptized with the mormoner" but they don't have a date yet. He's going to miss working with him, they've become fairly close.
 
Other than that, nothing much has changed this week. Aldste Haddon is doing well and says: "all the loves" as his investigator always says! He says he feels your support through your prayers and prays for all of us here at home! He is blessed to be able to share his testimony and the gospel, there's no other place he'd rather be.
