Following the Holy Ghost

Letter from August 14


This week has been a fun one. My Spanish is coming along.. I am understanding more and more each day and am trying to speak more as well. I am not quite a full Mexican yet but I hope to be there pretty soon.

So I had a pretty cool thing happen to me, I was on exchanges with Elder Tuliloa and we were out walking trying to find people to talk to. I looked in my planner and saw there was a referral that someone had given us a week ago and so we decided to try to find him. We hopped in the car and drove for a bit. Our GPS said that the address was not a valid address and so me being the new missionary said that I could find it because I know how to get around my area super well. So we drove a little more and ended up on the long and straight road that was leading us out into the fields. At the point we knew there was no chance in us finding this guy so I turned down this one street and we pulled over and said a prayer. I had a feeling that we needed to get out and start walking and talking to people. We got out of the car and walked for a little bit the first house that we went to was the referral. I know that the Holy Ghost is guiding us 24/7. He is always there showing us where to go, leading us, putting words in our mouth and showing us the way to Christ.

So next week my P-day will be on Tuesday, we are having a zone conference and there will be a General Authority there. I cant remember who but I will tell you all about that on Tuesday.

I cant figure out how to put pictures on from this so I will just send extra next week!

Con amor,

Elder Sager

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 ...
