The First Email!

The first email took foreverrrrr to get here! (And that is not an exaggeration.)

Steve is loving the MTC! His Pdays are on Tuesdays.

His companion's name is Elder Eldredge

and I quote "you are bombing me with letters."

Isnt that what family is for?

Sorry the Email is hard to read! Hope everybody can see it :)

"See You Later!"

One of the hardest days of our lives. But he was ready :)

Got to be escorted by one of his best friends Nick Noble. What a surprise!

 Elder Noble wearing "HOST" on his suit.

We just had to keep reminding ourselves this was a "See you later!" not a Goodbye.

The Mission Call

Steve's Mission Call came on November 29th 2012.

What an exciting day that was! Except we had to wait 5 months... :)

Little did we know those 4 months would just fly right on by.

We were hoping it would come on a Wednesday... But ended up coming a day later on Thursday.

Just about to open it up!

Elder Hoggan

This is so exciting! Elder Hoggan has been Called to Serve in the Alpine German-Speaking Mission and this blog is just going to be a fun, cute way to document Steve's adventures! 

First a little bit about Steve's Mission.

His mission actually covers 5 different countries! These countries include Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, and Northern Italy. Pretty much he is going to the coolest mission ever. 

If you would like to write Elder Hoggan, his information should be on this card! A cool new missionary rule that was just passed is that he can email both friends and family now! So please either write or email him. He would absolutely love to hear from you.

This is us :) Elder Hoggan's family.
