Our First Three Zone Conferences

-

This past week we had our first three zone conferences.  Monday here in Frankfurt.  Wednesday an hour south in Heidelberg. And Friday 3 hours north in Dusseldorf.  On Tuesday and Thursday we drove to many of the missionaries in their cities.  Dan would interview each while I visited with their companion and got to know them a little better.  We met with all 102 of them!  What a wonderful group of young people!

We know that efforts are still being made to get us into Germany.  We are hopeful that things will fall into place for us to go as soon as possible.  We received notice that our personal effects that were shipped to Germany in May have arrived and are being held in customs storage. We received this notification: "Unfortunately, German customs will not clear the shipment until an arrival date has been set and an appointment has been made at the local town hall to register. The shipment can remain in customs storage for up to 90 days.”  We are not exactly sure when the 90 days expires, but it is probably mid-October.  We certainly hope to be in Germany by then.  It would be a shame for the items to be shipped back to Utah and arrive here in December. On a brighter note....  Dan and I were invited to participate in the training of missionaries who have begun their virtual Mission Training Center experience.  The first week we were helping with two En...

Refusing to recant or rescind his positions, Luther was d...

President Hammon's Update on Missionaries Trying to Get to Germany

  January 25, 2021 Update   I wanted to share with my family and close friends a few things about our missionaries that have inspired me.  As I have mentioned, we have received 81 missionaries in Germany in just the past 5 weeks.  We were supposed to receive 91 and I wanted to tell you about the other 10.   24 missionaries arrived in England on December 16 th , some directly from the online MTC at home experience and some who had been reassigned to other missions in the US.  Of the 10 missionaries, 8 are sisters and 5 of them were already serving in the US.  Most of them have been serving for 6 months now and therefore only have 12 months left to serve.  One of the 2 elders has also been serving in the US.   Those missionaries serving in the US had finally become comfortable with being a missionary in their reassigned missions in the US.  They were then received notification that they would be leaving for En...
