Arrived Safe and Sound

After 17 hours, 2 stops (one in Detroit and Amsterdam), he lands in Munich with other missionaries. President and Sister Miles greeted them all and were so excited to see them! They sent us this email shortly after he arrived along with these pictures.

Dear family of Elder Hoggan-

We are delighted to tell you that Elder Hoggan arrived safely in Munich this morning.  He is tucked away in bed now after a long day of orientation. 

We thought you might enjoy these pictures from this evening. His new companion is Elder Hans, and they will be serving in Ingolstadt, Germany. 

We are thrilled that he is here and are very impressed with his preparation and enthusiasm.  He will be a great missionary.  Thank you for all you have done to help him become the fine young man he is today.  We love him already, and we will do all we can to help him grow as a missionary and have a successful mission.  If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  May the Lord bless you and your family at this wonderful time of missionary service.

Sincerely,

President and Sister Miles

All of the new missionaries

On His Way to Germany - Gut :D

Steve is finally out of the MTC and on his way to Germany! We got to talk to him on the phone a few times today and he sounded so good! He is excited and ready to head on to the next part of this big adventure. Below is a picture of Elder Hoggan and his companion Elder Eldridge from Provo. We love you Elder Hoggan!
