World Cup Champs!

Elder Hoggan is thrilled that Germany beat Argentina in the World Cup on 7/13/14. He was not able to watch it, but had a blast cheering on the team through text updates from other missionaries and members. He believed in his country and sent a lot of fan support. That's what did it. It was a good ending to another awesome week in the service of the Lord!

Germany has had some interesting weather. Downpours come out of nowhere and then the sun shines. That didn't stop Elders Hoggan and Harvey from baptizing the world!!

Tuesday wasn't so hot due to an investigator returning to his old ways. Wednesday was filled with service on the farm! It is always "awesome" to serve others and the members there are "awesome" as well.

Thursday brought a meeting with Ilir and his wife! They are the nicest people ever. They're not in the best situation as Ilir is seeking permission to stay in Germany. Hopefully he can. He seems prepared and ready for the restored gospel in his life. He went to church and stayed for all three meetings! Elders Hoggan and Harvey taught Priesthood and Sunday :P School. Ilir seemed to enjoy himself and got to know a couple members of the church. One member gave him a ride home. Ilir is so awesome!

Sunday was also awesome! Home teaching took place with a member who travels 30 minutes to reach his home teaching family. The Elders drove an hour and a half to meet him there. This family lives in the rally gorgeous part of the Kaufbeuren area. The family is partly inactive because they live so far away from the church house. The mother has a super active testimony, but her children are LA. The missionaries are in contact with a couple of them. A basketball invitation was extended due to basketball on the playstation. Something cool should come of this!

Missionary work has been slower, but was still super awesome! Next week will surely bring some awesome things! Elder Hoggan closes with love for all and hopes those of us at home have another awesome week!

Elder Hoggan is awesome and loves the word! His email had "awesome" eight times. He and his companion went to a festival and parade on Pday. They wore their Lederhosen to this annual  Tanzelfest and he took many pictures. The sky was blue, and throwing candy at parades must be an American thing.
