Quick Update!

Elder Hoggan got to visit Neuschwanstein for a third time. He is excited and is always looking for opportunities to wear his lederhosen! :)

Jasmin, an investigator, had an awesome lesson and then two others were a little rough. She has a young son who is 3 or 4 and can be super loud when with a members daughter who is 1 or 2. The members are Jasmins friends and this time the children went to the playroom so they would not be a noisy distraction.

Jasmin isn't sure what to do, but is trying hard to find the way and has been praying to Heavenly Father consistently. The  Elders have taught her about prayer, reading the scriptures, going to church, and how all of this will help answers come in addition to receiving direction in her life. One of the members shared their conversion story that was really touching. Jasmin has a ton of potential and will hopefully be in church  next Sunday!!

Aaron is doing well and had a funny lesson occur. A skype with a member from Elder Hoggan's last ward was planned, but Aaron's phone is 3G so it wasn't working too well. Instead, the Elders began teaching some words in English. Aaron is a happy guy and seems to enjoy meeting with the missionaries. A better system needs to work out in order for him to be taught. Aaron went to church which means he rides his bike 10 kilometers to do so.

Tim Jager, a son in the Bossa Familie, met with the Elders. Sadly, Frau Bossa was sick and unable to take part in the lesson. Tim's dad owns an italian pizza place so they enjoyed free pizza! :) Awesome! Tim was taught about the restoration of the gospel and he committed himself to reading 10 chapters in the Book of Mormon before meeting next time. He can do it! He's headed to Italy for two weeks with his family. A lot of people are taking vacation time now, but there's always someone to teach :)

The apartment renovating continues for Elders Hoggan and Harvey. Their living room is now a light brown and the kitchen is a white/green color. Sisters from the ward helped clean the entire apartment while the Elders painted! They brought lunch. It was the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for Elder Hoggan! Members of the church are great! Don't worry, the apartment is kept clean...most of the time ;)

Elder Hoggan encourages us all to enjoy another week the Lord has given us all!
