Here is this weeks' email... it was pretty much the only way it could be said....
Hello!!!!
Today's quote is brought to you by our good friend Victoria, “FIRE!!!! The house is going down!!!”
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. We had stopped quiet a gnarly house fire on Saturday. We were able to go over to the family who have 7 boys. The day before they taught one of the younger boys that they should no play with fire. It will burn you hair, skin and all of your toys. Well they little boy just like any curious boy wanted to see if it was true. So he went into there computer room and just set aflame there curtains. That is where we then heard Victoria scream, “Fire!”
We then ran in and batted out the fire. I broke some mission rules and picked up the kids and took them out of there. But all in all, it turned out alright, the house didn't burn down at least!
After she said, “Alright now we can start fresh.” which honestly is pretty impossible after your adrenaline is on full blast.
But we actually had a wonderful week, The same family have agreed to be baptized now we are just helping them through it! So it's very exciting. I just hope that I don't get moved before then! I have been here in Uppsala for a while now! Longest area I have been in and also the Longest companionship. But I am defiantly not complaining. Allsop is one of my best buds.
This week we were able to going to Stockholm several times to prepare us for a Leadership Conference for the Stake. This year's plan is “Påskynda Frälsningsarbete” (Hasting the work of salvation.) So Elder Allsop and I with our great friend Nic Engström taught all of the leaders in the Stake how we can do missionary work together. As most of you know I don't like to speak in front of large groups. I don't know how many times I said no to my dad when he asked me to give a talk. I just don't like it.
Well on my mission I have defiantly had to overcome that. We had had to teach the entire stake about missionary work..... In a different language even. I feel after that experience, I could be a pretty dang good public speaker haha.
This week has just been amazing, we have found so many people to teach and just to serve people. I absolutely love to be a missionary, I know this is God's work. I am more happy here then I ever have been in my life. I want to thank you all for you emails and the love that you have shared. Can't wait to hear from you all next week as well.
Love,
Äldste Haddon
