Last week President Pimentel called us to let us know that the Lord is sending a missionary couple to the Outreach Center in Chemnitz. We have come to love the youth in Chemnitz but the load of caring for two centers has been incredibly taxing and unfair to each center to not have someone there full time. So the Worle's from Idaho Falls, ID arrived last 
Wednesday and Monday we did some training with them. They are 
wonderful people and he speaks German because he was born and raised here then left to go to BYU. We are having a great time getting to know them.

We also had an opportunity to help the missionaries teach a Spanish mother and her son (yes, she is the mother :). The Elders asked us to come along so Elder Hoggan could translate for them and help the mother feel more comfortable and understand things better. Elder Hoggan was able to relate the First Vision of Joseph Smith and bear his testimony of the truth that Jospeh Smith did in fact see God the Fathe
r and His Son Jesus Christ. It was a great experience.After that apointment, we hurried over to the YSA FHE night where they were doing Kareoke and pink pong. We had 14 YSA there which included 3 investigators. Wow!! They usually only have 5 or so. Of course we joined in. Elder Hoggan won his round at the 
Kareoke and Ping Pong. Sister Hoggan just had lots of fun. We are sitting with Bruce, the Chinese investigator, who is so amazing. He has an incredible spirit about him, eager to learn. We hope some day he will join the church. He reads the Book of Mormon with us once a week and it has really helped him to grow. We will miss him greatly as he leaves this weekend for Dusseldorf Germany. The missionaries are lining him up with contact people so he won't get lost. The other pictures are of some more of the Dresden Youth. Much of the music the youth listen to in Germany is American tunes by American artists. And they know the 
words. I asked why that was so and the person said becasue German music is not all that great, so they listen to American music. What a great bunch of youth these are!

The work of the Lord is amazing! It is great hearing of your experiences and see your faith. We are glad to hear that your load will be lightened and you will not be spread so thin. This morning we thought of you as we heard the news on the radio that there was an earthquake in New Zealand! It made us glad that you were not there! Love you much!
