My Dear Family!! 

We are Strong!

This week has been pretty great! we had Zone Conference this week!!  I always love it, all of the trainings were on how to get our investigators to progress towards baptism!! Needless to say that ALWAYS pumps me up!! I love hearing from President Wilson, pretty much he's da man.  Also got to hang with Elder Jordan Holman, for a little bit.  It's always good to see familiar faces! It was weird talking to him about all of these things from high school. seems like forever ago!! 

So I got a package from you guys of that mission map thing!!  It is was cool!! I love it!! where did you get it??  

When He is with us!

Cool thing,  We've worked out this deal where we get the sisters car once a week to go do missionary stuff, pretty much love it.  especially since this summer is suppose to be a really bad one. as far as heat and humidity go.  I was actually informed that last summer was a "mild" one.  If that's true, then I may need some extra prayers this summer. cause I thought last summer was pretty bad. 

So right now we are teaching this kid named Brian Byrd.  he's was tight and wants to be baptized but it has been a struggle for us to get him to church.  It actually is a struggle for all of our investigators.  Either they work or they come up with another excuse.  It's a little frustrating. "JUST COME TO CHURCH!!"   (random quote from the District 2)

We had a way cool experience on member exchanges this week.  We were driving through this neighborhood with Brother Roberts and I saw some guy outside doing yard work.  and I felt like we should go talk to him.  I told Bro Roberts to turn around.  we got out and talked to him and he said his name was Dan and that he had gotten and read one of our pamphlets and he said he agreed with everything he read in it!! we talked to him for about 10 minutes and set up a return appointment for this saturday!! It was a way cool thing to be able to see the fruits of following a prompting.

Being a missionary is awesome, and exhausting!! but I love biking around talking to people about Jesus Christ and teaching the Restored Gospel to anyone that will listen!! I hope you can all find the little opportunities that pop up in your lives to share the wonderful message that we have!! I love you all and hope you have a great week!!

Love

We want to share His word with you!

FAMILY!!!!

Elder Sahagun and the Virginia trees!

Such a great week!!  Baptismal interviews and baptism, finding new investigators, and teaching people about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Could life get better??  I submit that it cannot!!  

So yeah on Thursday I got to do 3 baptismal interviews!!  It was such an incredible spiritual experience, I loved interviewing Ethan (10years old) it was incredible to see how much of the Gospel he has learned and the strong testimony he already has!!  I was super nervous but it all went really smoothly and they are just super prepared and ready!!!  this has been a long time coming for them and I was so excited for them!! it was an incredible baptism!!  I was so happy to be a part of it!  I got to do a musical number and Elder Gambles and I also got to teach the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!  It was awesome!! 

I'm loving serving as a District Leader!!! Had my first district meeting this week and it was way cool!! I have such an awesome group of missionaries!!  It's pretty stressful sometimes but I feel like I have learned a lot just in the past 2 weeks or so!!  I'm super excited to just serve them!!! it's way awesome and I'm super grateful for this opportunity that the Lord has given me!!

I am loving serving with Elder Gambles!!  We are starting to really pick up the work in this area!!  and I know that we can do a lot through the spirit to change this area.   Mom that E-Mail you sent was super inspired!! me and Elder Gambles were talking about that just last night!!! Thank you so much for that thought!! It really helped me to have a better perspective on what I can do to improve as a companion. I loved all of those Pictures you found on facebook!! awesome!!

I will try and take more pictures this week, I hope that you guys have a Phenomenal week filled with missionary experiences and opportunities to Open Your Mouth!!!  I love you all so very much!! 

Love, Elder Sahagun

Craziest week of my whole life!!! Not a lot of time to tell you about it I'm so sorry!!!!! 

Elder Bednar came!!!!!! He is my new favorite Apostle for sure!!!!!! He is so funny!! haha dad this might make you laugh, Dean M. Davies presiding bishop did a James Brown Impression from the pulpit. He got up to speak and said " Well in the words of James Brown..... WAAAHHHH I FEEL GOOD'" hahaha everyone including Elder Bednar Started busting up!!! It was such an Incredible experience!! 500 missionaries were there from both Virginia Richmond and Virginia Chesapeake Spirit was soo strong!!! 

Transfer calls came!! Elder Wood is Leaving :( I am staying here in Massaponax and President asked me to be the new District Leader!  I'm a lot a bit freaking out.  I know that the Lord will provide!!!
