This was a week of parties for Aldste Haddon....well as much 'partying' as a missionary can do!
This first party of the week was a Young Single Adult Activity for Halloween. They have 5 young single adults in the ward but had a turn out of over 20! This was very exciting because it allowed for a lot of opportunity to befriend people who hadn't been taught the gospel. He was excited because it showed the ward members that it is easy to fellowship people by just inviting them into our normal activities and sharing our testimonies through our words as well as our actions. He said it was super fun and overall a very successful night!
The next party was a night of PALT and Music. Palt is apparently a meal of meat wrapped in potatoes and boiled for several hours until it reaches perfection. This was a ward activity, so families of all ages were invited. They had several investigators and people they had been helping to come back to church in attendance, including the man from a couple weeks ago who's children were removed from him on false pretenses. He said the family had been reunited and he's never seen the father or the children more happy and beaming. It was wonderful to see it all work out in such an amazing way.
Overall, it has been a pretty fantastic week for Aldste Haddon, he ended his email by reminding us that his birthday is this week...as if we had all forgotten or something!
(I mailed his gift 4-5 weeks ago...I hope he gets it!)
Thanks for all of your support!
This is Ty's best little buddy, they even have the same winter coat!
