Elder Hoggan can't believe that he is closing in on the last weeks of his mission! Luckily, he still has two to go and will serve the Lord with all of his heart, might, mind, and strength. Steve will be doing his best with what little time is left.
The Work is still moving forward. Elders Hoggan and Samuelson have been knocking on doors, learning humility, and counting their blessings while loving what comes.
Karlheinz is doing well. They planned to watch a video about Christ, but the DVD didn't work. This normally happens with investigators, but there was a backup plan :) Instead, they each wrote about their baptism experiences. It turned out to be so cool! The Spirit was in the room! They shared what was written and reflected back on their baptism memories. Now this is something that Karlheinz has and can refer back to.
Good lessons were taught to investigators. Reinhart had read about the church on the internet, but this turned out to be a really good thing. He likes many things such as missionary work, no smoking, and no drinking. He doesn't care for the strictness of coffee not being allowed, but seems to be opening up to the gospel message. His daughter will be in on future lessons, too.
Bertrand, a man who was baptized in June, visited with the missionaries and is going through some problems. He will not be able to stay in Germany. The Bishop was at the church at the same time and took everyone out for Doners : ) aka Kebaps. It was awesome to eat together and bond more with the Bishop. He's the coolest!
Next week is a mission tour with Elder Patrick Kearon of the Seventy and the 1st Counselor in the Area Presidency. The zone will meet in Muchen and it will be the biggest meeting that Steve has seen on his mission. Missionaries from Austria will be there, too. Four zones will be together for the first time and so a reunion will take place with the Elders serving from Sky View High School. Pictures will be taken and it will be an awesome week!
Liebe GruBe
