Another year has gone by. Elder Hoggan wished all of us a good "slip" into the new year as the German people would say.
A cool experience was had with Karlheinz. He had been working on Sundays for a friend that wouldn't be back until February. Miraculously, she returned and was able to cover her shift from 8-1 which meant that Karlheinz could attend church. God is a God of Miracles!
Two visit were made to Frau Schif last week. Lessons were given on baptism, the Holy Ghost, and the stop-smoking program. Frau Schif crushed her cigarettes in her hand on the count of three and hasn't smoked since Saturday! She attended church and is off to a good start, but could use additional prayers as she makes this difficult change!
New Years Eve day was rough, but that night was spent with a member family whose kids had a lot of fun lighting off "Utah fireworks". A delicious meal, Rouladen, was served. After arriving home at 9 p.m., the Elders planned and went to bed. They were awakened at 12:05 a.m. with fireworks outside of their window. It was crazy and like a war zone!
New Years Day visits were with members. Elders Hoggan and Jensen had baked cookies for Herr Boden, his wife, and another member. It paid off :) Bodens made it to church and a future lesson at their home is scheduled for this week :)
The work is going awesome and the ward is great!
Elder Hoggan closed with gratitude for the prayers and support, because he really needs them!
