Temple Trip!

Letter from January 23

This morning we had the chance to go to the temple for an endowment session!! I LOVE the temple and am super grateful that there is a Temple so close and that we get to attend every few transfers.

These last few weeks have been weird, with Preparation day on Wednesday last week and Tuesday this week it is making everything feel slow. BUT, great things are still happening and Miracles still exist. Ever since the New Year, the Spanish group has been meeting in the chapel for sacrament and for the last few weeks it has been really empty. maybe 20-35 people came, but this week there was 56 people!!! Niki and her family came, and Ricardo and Sujey came as well. We were sad when we didn't see Victor, Eva, and Antonio at church who all said they would be coming.. This next week we are going to work hard on getting them all to come to church and also to be preparing for Baptism.

This week, I invite you all to go read Mosiah 14. I love this chapter because it really shows us all the things that the Savior did for us and it shows us of his love for us. I have seen so many blessings come into my life from reading the Book of Mormon every day and also from really understanding of Gods love for me.

Con mucho amor,

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 ...
