What a crazy week it has been for Aldste Haddon in Sweden...
He has been called to be the district leader and a trainer of a new greenie fresh off of the plane, the new group of elders and sisters arrived from the MTC on Wednesday and that was also the first day Aldste Haddon stepped foot in his new area. He said that he picked his companion up and he asked him where they lived and Aldste Haddon said I don't know elder let's go find out togther so they carried their luggage through the city unti they found their new apartment together in a downpour no less! It took a couple of hours to find, but luckily they made it home before it had gotten too dark out.
They have since been working hard doing missionary work, they came across an awesome young man who was a self refferal looking for the truth. They have been teaching him and have set a baptism date for the first weekend in August and of course they feel thrilled and blessed at the opportunity and have really enjoyed getting to know this individual. He said that one evening they were talking and Tyson felt impressed to give him the biggest hug and reaffirm to him how important he is to his Heavenly Father. He said the spirit was strong and it was a great experience for all of them. He said that it is moments like those that make all of the hard times of walking through the rain with loads of suitecases worth it!
He really wants to thank everyone for your love and support, he can feel your strength and prayers for him even though he is a world away!
Also, our grandpa Larry Haddon (Our dad's dad) has fallen very ill, he was found having a seizure and passed out when grandma returned home from church yesterday. Late last night he opened his eyes for the first time, and has had an MRI. It appeared to be a brain tumor, but we have also been told that he possibly has contracted a virus that appears similar to brain tumors on MRI scans. They also think he might have blood on his brain. Of course, our hearts and prayers are focused in his direction and we appreciate your love and support as he is struggling with this scary turn of events.
