I gave Donny a high five!!

Letter from June 24

YOOOO!!!
How are all y'all?
I am doing great!
This week has been so crazy. We picked up 2 or 3 new investigators and
are teaching them like 3 times a week, some of them we see every day.
And boy do I love them, they are so loving and I love talking with
them, well....listening to them talk. Because I can't really speak
Spanish lol.. but I mean I am learning faster than I thought.
So on Sunday, Donny Osmand came and spoke to us and it was very
interesting. I liked it because he is a normal guy, well kinda haha..
he is kinda famous. He sang to us a couple of times and that was
really cool. The first song was from Mulan and them the second was a
song that he had just written for his son. I recorded it so I will
send it in this email. He spoke on four topics, perseverance,
obedience, confidence, and experience. We have to know why we are here
and we have to fight for it. The reason I am serving a mission is
because I love my Savior Jesus Christ, and if there is something
blocking your path or stoping you from doing your work, you have to at
least try to get over it because you never know if you will make it or
not. Obedience, you all have the agency to choose and the choices you
make and if you follow the rules, you will be more successful on your
mission. Confidence, having faith in the Lord and having confidence in
your faith will help you get along on the mish. And last, experience.
This is a once in a life time experience, and I am going to have fun.
I will put all my heart into the work and become immersed into the
culture and enjoy the crap out of it. And at the end of the
devotional, I give Donny a high five and talked to him for like 5
minutes 👌🏻 it was pretty cool haha..

So my companion hasn't been feeling very well this week and when we
were preparing to talk to a member for our member present lesson, he
passed out and hit his head on the table pretty hard. After about 5
second he woke up and started laughing. It scared me pretty bad haha..
the member came in and we warned him that he wasn't feeling very well
so we started walking to our lesson and he started passing out again
and so we decided to take him to the docs. He stayed at the doctors
for 6 hours on Thursday and I spent time with Elder Cox and Sevy. So
if y'all could keep him in your prayers that would be fantastic.

Probably my favorite thing about being in the MTC is the choir. It is
amazing. I was a little hesitant to going the first time but we
decided to all go as a zone and I did not regret that at all. We sang
Be Still My Soul, the sisters sang first and seriously sounded like
angels coming from heaven. Then the men came in and it was like
thunder. I sing In the bass section and I seriously just love it. I
love the songs and I love all the people. This week we are singing
Called to Serve and I am STOKED. We are destined to have an apostle
speak to us tomorrow because there is a huge conference for new
mission presidents and general authorities or apostles. So I am
getting really excited for that. Also that song is my favorite one
ever.
Well sorry if I left out any of yalls questions but keep asking them haha


Love you all so much.

Elder Sager ❤️

Future Missionaries

Letter from May 14 We had transfers this week and sadly I had to say goodbye to Elder Rockwood and send him off on his way to Basin City, and then said hello to Elder Stugis and welcomed him in to Kennewick! Elder Sturgis is originally from Oklahoma but lived in Midway, Utah before the mission. He has been out for about 4 months and had just finished being trained. I'm gonna keep this one short because of lack of time but one thing that we did this week was went out and tried finding people. Like I said before, there are so many apartment complexes here in Kennewick and we went out and tried knocking some. oh and update: we have not yet found Pedro. I will let you know how that goes this week! I will not give up on finding this dude. In one lesson that we had with Ivan and Ari this week, We swapped roles and they were the missionaries and taught us about the restoration. They NAILED it. They both threw on their Future Missionary tags and had the whole lesson planned out and ...

The Great Outdoors

Letter from May 29 What a great week full of great things like the Great outdoors. We had zone conferences this week which were a little different than normal zone conferences, Not a single missionary was wearing a White shirt and tie. The meeting was at the Timbers camp over near Dayton, WA. Who knew that there was actually green here in this part of Washington!! It was beautiful and I felt at home being out in the Woods sitting in a camp chair wearing Jeans and a t-shirt. We had 4 different stations where we would listen to them talk about Gospel topics, like Revelation, coping with difficulties in the mission, and working with our Ward leaders. It was just great being outside in the woods in God's creation and feeling the spirit super strongly. So just last night we found someone named Heilmer, well... He walked right into our hands. He just moved into a home with one of the members about a week ago and is just getting thrown into the Gospel. They took him to the temple and...

SHRIMP!!!

Letter from September 25 What a wonderful week!!! We had lots of success this week. W had 3 investigators at Church, 2 of those people were new investigators and 1 of them is now on date to be baptized on November 4th!!! We sre hoping to move this date up because he was really excited to be at church and accepted to be baptized right away! His name is Pedro Anaya and his wife is Agrapina. Pedro got in a huge car accident a while back and is the only person who survived it. He was in a coma for about 9 hours and says that he saw everything from the picture where Christ comes to the Americas. Ever since his accident, he wanted to find someone who agreed with what he saw and when we showed him that picture, he got super excited and wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon and our religion. After we got done talking to Pedro and Agrapina On Saturday, we had a dinner appointment with the Florez Family. They both served in the Salt Lake City Mission and are great members. We walked ...
