SMARTPHONES!!!!!!

Letter from April 16

This week was jam packed full of meetings, updating the phones, transferring the teaching records over to the phone, and figuring our how to use one of these things again. I have forgotten everything about technology. What a better place and time to relearn. As a missionary with a smart phone, the work is going to get a lot easier, finding people to teach, teaching lesson, and getting in contact with people. Everything about it is going to be good. Another great thing about it is that people don't look at us weird when we pull out our dinky little flip phones. We got the phones on Tuesday and set them up and then had a Zone Conference on Wednesday to learn how to use them and transfer over all the data. So for the rest of this transfer, we will be working hard on recording every single lesson that has ever happened here for the last 10 years about. There is A LOT of work but it will all be worth it.

Ivan and Ari came to church  this week and they loved it. We went to Sunday school with them and the lesson was on the Restoration which was perfect for them. They are both preparing for baptism on the 2 of May and are SUPER excited for it. They love the Gospel and are some of the smartest kids hat I have every met in my life.

I love being a missionary and hope that I can be a missionary forever.

Sorry for the short email...

I love you all.

Elder Sager

 I really am excited for the phones!!!!

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 ...
