Elder Hoggan is seeing a lot of miracles! It is so awesome and he is thankful to be serving there!
Two members from Eritrea, Africa (north of Ethiopia) just moved to Kaufbeuren. They are soooo cool, very nice, and showed up to church Sunday. Unfortunately, they hardly understand English or German, but will begin learning English from the missionaries. The restoration film was viewed and they recognized it, but think they saw a longer version.
Elders Hoggan and Harvey had their first personal interviews with the new mission president. President Kohler has many strengths and weaknesses, is very different from President Miles, and he showed up randomly with his family to their branch on Sunday. Elder Hoggan walked into the chapel, put down his backpack, and turned around - BOOM! There was President Kohler with his wife. She's the sweetest lady ever. Elder Hoggan has good things to say about those two.
Tuesday night brought an appointment with Alex. He's going to be receiving the priesthood in two weeks :):):) Elders Hoggan and Harvey are so happy for him! Alex has changed and he met with the missionaries three times last week.
Friday was one of the coolest days ever. The Elders received a media referral from a missionary from their ward. The lesson went super awesome to Yvonne and her three kids. She's married to Luigi, an Italian owner of a pizza company. Tim is their son and the best friend of this missionary that referred them. The plan of God and the point of life was taught. It went super!!!! A return appointment was made and pizza will be included next time :) Another referral arrived in the mail. We need to pray that that one goes well, too.
Saturday was spent renovating!!!! The apartment is going to look awesome. Just in time for Elder Hoggan to leave. Hopefully not, but maybe. The study room is now yellow on one wall and white on the other three. The bedroom is blue, white, and light blue on two walls. The bunk bed will be assembled this next week.
Sunday was awesome!!!! The Geiger Family came to church and look just like members! It is soooo cool! Pday was spent with them. They went go-kart riding and had a blast. Ice cream was enjoyed after with Ralf, the father, and Jakob, the son. Pictures will be coming of these professionals drivers :)
Aaron, an investigator with a baptismal date, went to church for the first time! He is the happiest guy ever and the missionaries love working with him. Many cool things are going on right now with the gospel in Kaufbeuren!!!
Mission life is really the best life. Elder Hoggan is thankful for this chance he has to serve for two years :)
