Seed

Elder Hoggan sends his greeting and is grateful to be a missionary everyday. He has the advantage over us here at home. Transfer calls came and Elder Evans left for Austria.

Now Elder Hoggan is bearing a son and the seed continues. He will be taking a train with Elder Stuart, also from Smithfield, and going to Munich together. They will both be trainers and finding out who belongs with who.

Elder Evans was a great companion. Change is always good and exciting. There is always something to learn, but it will be a bummer to say goodbye to Elder Evans.

On Tuesday, Elder Hoggan was in Ingolstadt. There were some train complications due to construction. This made switching back very hard.

Wednesday a new investigator was picked up. her name is Sonja and her husband is LA because of his job. He works for the police and can only attend church one Sunday a month. Sonja is super cool, too. She likes the church and the Book of Mormon, but has a few concerns that the missionaries will help her get over.

Saturday was a heart wrenching day. It was a zone training meeting and a goodbye conference to President and Sister Miles. The whole thing was super awesome! A lot was said about patience and motivation. Pictures of the new mission president and his family were shown. he will be coming in around June 27th. After the Miles last teachings, hugs were given and pictures were taken. They are amazing people and will be missed sooo much. But what happens, happens. The new president will be just as awesome. It can be sometimes hard to say goodbye to good friends.

Later, the Elders took a train and visited with one of Elder Hoggan's favorite families from the Ingolstadt Branch. There son had just been baptized after turning eight years old. 

Elder Hoggan has met many awesome people on his mission as he serves bearing testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true.
