1 Month.

Elder Hoggan has been on his mission for ONE WHOLE MONTH! Only 23 more to go. He is still patiently waiting in the MTC and is eager to get to Germany. He is loving the MTC experiences. He and his companion were just made Zone Leaders. He's very excited about this :) He absolutely loved General Conference and said, "Its so crazy how much more awake you are and how much more you pay attention when you're not in your pajamas on a comfy couch ;)" Elder Hoggan's Testimony is growing every single day. His German is slowly coming along, and he is loving every single second of this adventure. Steve Loves being a Missionary and knows this is where he is supposed to be.

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!

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.
