Aldste Haddon had is Birthday on Wednesday and he said it was fantastic! They were at a conference in Stockholm so he got to meet up with everyone. The whole conference sang to him and they crowned him making him a birthday girl or something (you never know with these guys! They're a little weird, that's why we love them!) He got to see his best friends from the MTC Elders Allsop and Faylor and it was really fun to hang out with them again.
This week Aldste Haddon and his companion also moved into a super nice brand new apartment, for the past few weeks they have been living with two other elders because there is a housing shortage in Sweden. It really is a small miracle every time they are able to find missionary housing there. You might remember that the group that arrived right after Aldste Haddon last year were 'homeless' for a very long time before they were able to find enough apartments.
But, apart from all of that, Aldste Haddon got the most exciting news this week....he found out he will be Elder Allsop's new companion! One BFF down, one to go! He is SO excited to be able to serve with him, he knows that they'll work well together and get a lot of missionary work done. They were together in the MTC so it's pretty exciting that they get to serve together as companions now!
...Now on to missionary work. So the ward he is currently serving in has been struggling with missionary work and home teaching. Aldste Haddon and his companion have been working very hard to be able to get the mission area turned around and encourage the members to 'catch the wave of missionary work' since being there, the home teaching numbers have improved "360%" (I don't know exactly what that means, but what I do know is that it sounds like a lot) haha!
So, overall, Aldste Haddon has had a fantastic birthday week, and is looking forward to celebrating his YEAR mission mark this week! He wants to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and prayers in his behalf!
Delightful Birthday Feast
