Elder Hoggan is off to Salzburg, Austria today with his district! The train ride will take about an hour and he promised to take a lot of pictures!
His week went well with a zone training meeting and a zone conference. Sister Miles spoke about being an example and to send a good message for the church. She spoke of cool experiences where others observed the missionaries and watched how they would react in certain situations. Baptisms occurred through those miraculous situations.
President Miles talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon. He used Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's message from a 2009 General Conference Address entitled Safety for the Soul. Elder Hoggan says it is a Holland hammer-down talk.
Last Wednesday, Elders Hoggan and Smith met with Ioana. She is an investigator from Romania. A baptismal date was set for her! She has an hour and a half train ride to church, but she does her best to get there.
At church yesterday, a special choir of 50 or so nonmembers came to perform and honor a dear friend who was LDS and passed away last year. She belonged to their choir and was a great example to them. This choir saw that Mormons are normal people. They came to remember this great lady because her birthday was approaching.
Sunday got even better when the missionaries received a referral from a member. The church is true! These spiritual experiences are awesome!
