Sheri,
I got your email address from your daughter, Sister Sabey. She is serving in our ward here in La'ie. I just wanted to tell you what a great missionary she is. She has had a great impact on our family. She gave a talk in church today that was so heartfelt, and she really spoke with the Spirit. She looked like an angel up there. Every Sunday night we go to the Visitor's Center with our four young kids. Sister Sabey takes the time every Sunday to sit with my eight-year-old daughter for about 20 minutes and just talk. The influence she has had on my daughter is and will continue to be great. She radiates a spirit of love to all who meet her. We love all of the sister missionaries, but there is something super special about your daughter. Thank you for raising such an angel. She will forever have a special place in our family's hearts.
With love,
J.M.
My Reply to her:
Dear J,
Thank you so so much for your wonderful letter to me about Sis. Sabey! That was so sweet and kind of you to think of writing me, and it made me so happy to hear she is helping people and touching their hearts! I know she loves her mission so much, and it is because she gets to interact with wonderful people like you and your family. What a wonderful thing that you visit the Visitor's Center each week! I'm sure she loves seeing you there regularly, and I think you are so wise to take your children there so often.
I would like to tell you a story about Sis. Sabey. Our family visited the Laie Visitor's Center about 7 years ago while vacationing in Hawaii, and Sage (Sis. Sabey) was able to talk to the sister missionaries that were serving there at the time for quite a while as they showed us around. I know she was in awe of them and looked up to them as well. Sage has always wanted to serve a mission, and knowing this, as we were saying goodbye to the sisters and leaving the grounds, I looked at her and said "That could be you someday!" Little did I know then how that would be the very mission she would be called to! I feel like the blessings are coming full circle. My hope has been that my daughter's service will inspire those she comes in contact with, to love and serve the Lord through her example and love of the gospel. I am grateful that she has been inspired by others, and what a blessing it is for me to hear that she able to return the favor to those she associates with, so thank you for sharing your thoughts about her! It means so much to me!
Much love,
Sheri Sabey
