President and Sister Hammon in the Germany Frankfurt Mission

  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 England in just a few days.  They also knew that 67 missionaries have preceded th

Thursday, January 7, 2021 I know it has been awhile since I sent an update.  It has been a crazy time filled with everything missions are made of including interviews, transfers, Mission Leadership Council, Zone Conferences, missionaries who are struggling, etc.  One week we drove 1,000 km in 5 days to interview all the missionaries and the following week we also drove another 1,000 km (621 miles).  We have put over 10,000 miles on our car in 4 months.  And that is miles and not kilometers.  One week we had 6 Zone Conferences in 6 days.  At these zone conferences, we had a portion of them in the evening and invited the youth in the stakes to attend.  That was a special time.  I have received numerous messages from youth who were touched by the missionary spirit at these meetings.  Two of the younger brothers of missionaries serving in our mission who are from Germany or Switzerland also participated.  One of the youth invited a friend and she has asked to meet with the missionaries.
