9 Days 'Til Christmas

Elder Hoggan and Elder Young met with the Gimpl girls and moved back their baptismal date to January 11, 2014. There is so much to teach them. Angelina is making the best progress and was at church Sunday. Her entire family attended the ward party and had a fun time.

Weinachtsman came to the ward Christmas party! Santa can speak Bavarian, who knew? He had presents for the children and missionaries! Now the Elders have a ton of gifts under their Christmas tree. What an awesome ward! The missionaries are very grateful.

Elder Gunn, the district leader, and Elder Hoggan went on an exchange and had a great day. It got off to a slow start, but afterward turned amazing. Especially the week following that morning of low spirits. 

These two missionaries went to Neuotting for a singing practice. They will be performing at a nursing home and other places. They learned Bavarian songs with lyrics that are very hard to understand, but cool.

A member of the ward in Rosenheim brought a friend to church two weeks in a row. He is from Pakistan and his name is Aakish. He is Muslim, but wants to be a Christian and loves the Christian religion. Aakish has read the Book of Mormon in English and now wants to do it in his native language - Urdu. He wants to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and will be meeting again with Elder Hoggan and Elder Young soon. Aakish will probably have the entire Book of Mormon read by their next appointment.

Elder Hoggan can skype on Christmas Day from a members home. He will be spending Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas with this family and Elder Young, of course.
