Sayres Skype Call - Christmas 2018
A lady from their ward bought them gift cards to Bob Evans for Christmas Eve dinner. They were so grateful and loved the meal. Sayre says it is a good place to eat.
Hannah has been the biggest miracle of his mission. It was an amazing experience and he loves the Fischer’s. Brother Fischer helped him and his companion get out from being stuck in the mud. They were so grateful for him and his family’s kindness. They surprised him with the news that Hannah was getting baptized and it was amazing. Their family is getting sealed in a few months. We have to go back and visit them.
Everyone loves the crappy Browns, and the Cleveland Indians. The Indians are pretty good.
Kirtland was amazing. They were able to have a Christmas meeting there and tour the grounds. The church is across the street from the Johnson farm. The upstairs room is where Joseph Smith had the vision for the plan of salvation. Joseph and Hyrum were there. They received revelation and would ask each other if they got the same revelation and they did every time. One of the concerts was able to be confirmed in that room. The spirit was amazing. They also took another investigator family there who had a little girl. She stood on the table and started singing "I am a Child of God." It was a great experience. He loves the historical sites and wants to go back.
He had Christmas morning with a family that has young boys so that was fun to play with their toys and stuff. He is grateful for the Stewart’s and all they’ve done for him. They were going on a car scavenger hunt on Christmas with them.
He comes home around December 15th and so he will only miss one Christmas.
There are 2 sets of elders and 6 sets of sisters. The elders are killing it and teaching a lot more people. They are working hard.
It is cold there and wet all of the time.
Civil war stuff there? There are civil war battle fields and stuff around there but he hasn’t seen any yet except for a cemetery.
What is the town like?Just a lot of stores, pretty normal
Companion?He likes his companion, Elder Norris. He is from Richfield, Utah. His best friend on his mission is Elder Hooper. The mission president called him one night and said are you ready to train? Sayre said "no." So the mission president said ok I’ll See you in the morning, but He is so glad that he met him. One night he said that Sayre was his best friend. They got a long really well. He is from Arizona. So he can see him after the mission.
Christmas presents?I got good presents. Everything fit.
Mission president?Love the mission president. He got rid of all of the boundaries so we just have the wards now. Super kind and sincere.
Singing in church?He has sang in every ward he has been in so far and at two baptisms. He sang in church for the Christmas program. They told the story of the German and American soldiers who sang Silent Night. Sayre sang it in English and the other guy sang it in German. They stood across the stage.
Food?He eats good. Members feed them a lot of pizza. He never wants pizza again after his mission, but his is grateful for the food!
Best thing about Ohio?Ohio is kind of a hole. There is a lot of meth there. A lot of very different people. His companion met a man once and while they were having dinner he asked them if they believed in Jesus. They said "yes". The guy then turned his head and said "well I’m here!" Ohio has a lot more weird people than Las Vegas and there is not much to do. He misses Las Vegas and all there is do to there. He knows that he was called to Ohio for a reason though and loves serving there.
Things people say in Ohio? They call vacuuming and lawn mowing sweeping. They call soda, "pop".
