April 21, 2014


MOM! DAD! SIBS!

Thank you so much!!! I loved all the pictures!! Lizzy is going to the U for PT school. I hope I'll see her this fall. Tyler and Jessica are so busy! I can't believe that JB is turning 13 and that she has a cell phone?! What happened? Craziness. I do not miss snow. I am so sorry you are experiencing such weather conditions. This is the hottest month of the year and I'm loving it. Thanks so much for working out all that school stuff...weird. Yes, my date changed. It won't really be real to me until it's that day and I'm actually going home. Thank you so much for the Easter Birthday package! Graham Crackers and Frosting!!! So much happiness in my heart! You know me all too well. I love you guys so much! I got some birthday cards in the mail about two weeks ago and I'm waiting to open them. You know it only takes about 10 days to get a letter from there to here, right? That's pretty quick snail mail. 

Hey Dad, thanks for the update on Google. And yes, JB's phone number. Those are fun facts. Really though, it's fun to read your emails from all of you. That was terrifying to read about your lil heartbeat incident. I'm glad you're okay. No coke in a bag for you! (that's a thing here in Thailand)

Transfers was crazy! The day after I emailed you we got a phone call from the AP's saying that Sister Carter was staying! We went to the transfer meeting anyway because there was a training meeting that I needed to go to. So then after the meeting we got another phone call. Transfer after the transfer. The international sisters are now in a trio. And we now have 5 sisters in our house. Our bedroom is a mulit-level tetris theme. One bunkbed, two beds, and a mattress on the floor. It's fun. I know me and Sister Cater and I are supposed to be companions right now. She's going through a lot right now and I'm grateful to be her companion.

It's been a crazy week. I am continually reminded that this is the Lord's work and not mine. There are simple things that need to be taken care of that are important. Sometimes we just have to slow down for ourselves. If you knew you had a flat tire, how long would you wait before you stopped and fixed it? Not very long. That perspective is so good especially when we're sick or it's so hot and we just need to drink some water and take a break. I'm so excited for this transfer. It's been hard and so good here.

I love being a missionary. I love the sisters in my zone. We had the most blessed miracle this week. The international sisters gave us a FAMILY to teach! They live in our apartment complex one floor below us! Lots more stories that I want to tell you sometime but can't do justice writing in an email. I'll add some pics.

I love you so much. The church is so true. I'm so happy.

Have a wonderful week!

Love,
Sister Sahagun


This sweet woman is 98. She's not a member of the church, but her daughter is. We came and sang some hymns and she was so happy. She invited us to come back for her birthday in December. 
Also my banana cake from general confernece. Almost as good as a costco muffin
