Wunder Week

Elder Hoggan and his companion shared the family mission plan with the Familie Berka and encouraged them to pray for opportunities to share the gospel. The Elders promised miracles would follow. 

A few days later, Sch. Berka spoke on the phone with a tenant in one of their apartments, Margrit Preslar. They had never talked much, but had a nice conversation about marriage. Margrit will soon be married and brought up how her parents tried to get married in a Catholic church, but it wasn't allowed because of a strange religion. Sch. Berka asked, "Well, what religion was that?" Margrit replied, "Mormon." 

Sch. Berka couldn't believe it and told her that "we are Mormons, too." Silence. Margrit then began to ask questions, said she would like to attend church, and found her Dad's Mormon Bible to read. She is SO EXCITED about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and wants to be baptized. The missionaries in Munich are teaching Margrit.

Another miracle occurred on Friday. Elders Hoggan and Smith had fasted last fast Sunday that they would find Hu from China. After many prayers, they saw him waving at them at a train station. Now that the missionaries have his email address and are in contact with Hu, they have gained an even greater testimony of fasting and prayer. It really works!

Saturday morning brought transfer calls and Rosenheim will now go back to a four-some instead of two.Elder Hoggan's new companion will be Elder Quilter from Wales. Elder Kroes is from Germany and will join Elder Smith. Elders Quilter and Kroes were companions in an area in Switzerland. 

Elder Hoggan is now a district leader and emails that it will be scary, but fun : )

The Lord is hastening his work!!! The church is true and Elder Hoggan knows this now more than ever before. The miracles keep coming!
