July 27, 2021-Farewell to a giant group of wonderful missionaries! They will be dearly missed! They have served under difficult circumstances and have been faithful and stalwart disciples of Christ. We are proud of them. We have been blessed by them. We honor their sacrifice and service! Many thanks and much love!

July 20, 2021-Interviews with Gyeonggi zone!
June 24, 2021-Zone conference-Daejeon and Jeonju zones! And a new counselor to President Sargent! We were thrilled to have President Park 박성옥 and his wife, Sister Lee 이선자 join us for the first time!!! They for right to work helping us out! We love them already! We are blessed to have them in the southern part of the mission. We are focusing on helping friends keep commitments, using our time wisely, and teaching the plan of salvation as we invite others to Christ. Our young mission leaders led great role plays and trainings. It was super fun to have Kim Minjeh and MinJun Park join us on the zoom call while Kim Minjeh opened his mission call. He joined the church alone in high school and is still the only member of his family. He is the one who prayed to share the gospel with somebody and then met Bryan Francisco on the subway, who was soon baptized, last year in Osan during early covid. Kim Minjeh lives in Busan mission so we knew he would likely be assigned to Seoul or Seoul South…. we HOPED he would come to us! Such anticipation!!!! We still cheered through our disappointment when he was called to the Seoul mission, not ours! That’s a great mission, too!

May 26, 2021-Korea Cultural Day for preparation day at the Jeonju Hanok Village (1st half of the mission…next week will be the rest of the missionaries meeting in Suwon)First, we met for a few brief minutes to discuss the beautiful culture in Korea. Hands popped up like popcorn to share the things we love about the Korean culture, from both foreigners and Koreans alike. We wish everybody could live here to appreciate it! Most of us want to take parts of it home with us at the end of our mission. We divided into groups of four and stayed in those groups all day. (if you ever see us grouped in a picture with more, it’s because we passed on the street and took a quick picture. Social distancing guidelines here in Korea require us to be in groups of four or less, and wearing a mask in public, unless eating.) Next, we visited the hanok village. We rented Hanboks to wear, which are traditional Korean dress. They are still worn all the time for weddings and holidays. Not all Koreans own one, but our Sister Kim Namhee has over 10! She wears them when she plays her traditional Korean instrument. The hanok village is a traditional village with original homes. It’s beautiful. Jeonju is also famous for the best Bibimpap in the country and they say it originated there. After we were dressed and ready to go, the missionaries did a picture scavenger hunt. The young mission leaders posted on our group chats a bunch of locations and poses around the village. The missionaries ran around trying to find the locations and posing in the same way. They had to take a picture to document they were there. We also had lunch and enjoyed the street food and treats. Presidents Sargent and I sat in a traditional park on the main street trying to catch a glimpse of the missionaries and to visit with them as they went past. At some point President Sargent laid-back for just a ‘moment’. The moment was long enough for three different groups of missionaries to pass by and catch him. They were even able to lay down by him and he didn’t even know. It was a lot of fun. He’s great to let us laugh at him! We certainly wished we could all stay together and BE together as a large group all day. We did the best we could under the pandemic circumstances and government guidelines. We appreciate our young mission leaders for arranging and planning such a fun day! We also appreciate that some missionaries had to travel further than others. Thanks for coming to be with us!!! (Or in the same village, at least! Ha!)We LOVE being with our missionaries! No matter what!
May 18, 2021-Interviews with the Daejeon zone at the Daejeon 1st chapel. Oh we love them so! Sister Sargent brought needles, thread and the mission sewing machine so missionaries could repair their own clothing. Elder 이동우 repaired the hole in his companions pants for him, while Elder Hooper was being interviewed! Surprise! Also, Sister LeeHaehyun, who was baptized two years ago, joined us for lunch and to meet missionaries she’s previously only seen on zoom. She presented a beautiful hanbok to Sister Sargent as a gift. President Sargent was also able to leave a blessing on the home of Sister Kim Namhee Kim and Sister Callie Christensen. The missionaries moved right into district council after interviews. We anticipate many baptisms in this zone within the next transfer.

May 13, 2021-May 11th, 2021 zone conference with Jeonju and Daejeon Zones. We are FOCUSing on spiritual gifts, President Nelson’s talk on faith, Preach my Gospel chapter 3 and PMG chapter 11. We did a LOT of real-plays to practice helping our friends keep their commitments. Our mission leaders planned great situations to enact. We are also preparing to help teach members in upcoming stake missionary meetings. We also heard from our finding platform specialists about the miracles they are seeing. The missionaries arrived in a total downpour of rain! Deep puddles and large amounts of water splashing off cars and straight from the sky. Wet feet and legs everywhere! By lunchtime it was a beautiful spring day! Korea is gordeous in the spring amd can change so quickly. We are really blessed to be here right now!We are grateful we can meet in person so we follow the social distance rules. Our group size is below the maximum capacity of the church gyms. We wear masks. We leave the building to eat and then we eat in groups of 4 or less. We have never had any COVID in our mission! We must pull our masks off for a quick picture though, so we can see who we are in years to come!Front row: Sister Kim 김정현, Sister Maren Ball, Sister Jeong Yejin, President Nate Sargent, Sister Nicole Sargent, Sister Rebekah Christensen, Sister Callie Christensen, Sister Namhee KimMiddle Row: Elder Anthony Harley, Elder 이현호, Elder 박현준, Elder Isaac Christiansen, Elder Britton Jensen, Elder Kim Jaeseok Kim, Elder Kyle Carter, Elder Jake Spencer, Elder 김선택Back Row: Elder Lee 이민혁, Elder Lee 이동우, Elder Nate Hooper, Elder Kim Minjoong Kim, Elder Sam Carmack , Elder 조의진, Elder Jiyul Seung, Elder 정지훈, Elder Jordon Hatch , member friend, Elder 황재하
April 15, 2021-Interviews with Daejeon Zone! We love to see our missionaries!
April 13, 2021-Zone conference in JeonJu with JeonJu and Daejeon Zones! It was the second half of zone conference for this transfer. The first half was on zoom a couple of weeks ago because we needed to begin the transfer and teach and train. We held off on the second half until the 26 missionaries in quarantine were released so everybody could meet each other and we could have some fun for an hour or so at the end. Because of the gathering rules we have not been able to gather for an activity in a VERY long time. For this second half we *continued our transfer focus on PMG chapter 7: learning our language *heard President Kim speak, President Sargent’s counselor… we love him!! (Thanks for the (chocolate!)*heard from Elder Euicheol Oh about best practices with their recent success in baptisms*did many ‘real’ plays *discussed “In Unity There Is Strength”*discussed being FOREVER STALWART disciples of our Savior Jesus Christ*and had an hour for a much-needed activity… socially distanced 9 square! Haha We still do not eat in the church, due to COVID rules, and must separate into different restaurants in groups of four people.*** Many thanks to Elder Dewey for building the nine square game before he left for the pandemic.
March 27, 2021-This week we had ‘half’ of a zone conference on zoom. We hope to have the second half in person after our quarantine missionaries can get out, breathe fresh air and join us. We look forward to meeting everybody in person! We did receive wonderful training on chapters 6 and 7 in Preach My Gospel. We are focusing on gaining Christlike attributes and learning a language. We need our foreign missionaries to learn to speak Korean and our Korean missionaries to learn English. We are proud of the progress of each missionary, knowing we all need to improve much! We continue to learn how to use social media and we are preparing to help train the members to use it, at the request of our area authority.
March 17, 2021-Mission Leadership Council! New transfer! New group! Our young leaders brought their companions and came to the Daejeon 2nd ward building! We had a fantastic day counseling, learning from each other and preparing to lead this next transfer! We are grateful for their extra effort’s to serve, minister, lead and sacrifice for our mission.

March 11, 2021-Our “return” missionaries survived quarantine and were set free today!!! They came to the Mission Home in small groups of three and had interviews with President Nate Sargent. It’s so good to have them back! 
Transfers aren’t for 10 more days, but President arranged a transfer today to accommodate this group and the one coming next week. The missionaries found out about the early transfer yesterday and were moving around today. We are growing! We are up to 42 missionaries! Forever stalwart no matter how many!
March 10, 2021-his is a GRATITUDE shout out to our office staff! We are so grateful to you! You put in extra hours to make our mission move smoothly, effectively, and nicely! You have been busy opening apartments for incoming missionaries, moving and ordering stuff, preparing technology and combing for referrals, arranging zoom calls, translating, keeping missionaries fed and money on their cards, training, teaching, setting up and taking down … etc. It’s because of what you do that all the others can fulfill their purpose. Thank you! We love you!
March 10, 2021-Interviews with Gyeonggi district! These missionaries live the closest to us but I have barely seen them because of the gathering rules. It was wonderful to take time and visit for a few minutes with each one.
March 6, 2021-Zone conference part 2 in Suji. Finally! Following strict social distancing requirements, we were able to meet for zone conference. It was the first time since November. It felt so good to be together with our missionaries. The first part was on zoom last week. We appreciate our mission leaders for teaching us principles about using the Book of Mormon and leading real plays. PMG 5. President Sargent taught about charity, and other things. We are proud of our missionaries and grateful for their endurance as they continue to do missionary work in new and creative ways and during difficult social distancing times. Don’t worry. We ALWAYS had masks on. I asked missionaries to pull them down for a quick second for their close photos, or if they were the speaker.

February 27, 2021-Welcome back! Friday night airport run for some returning missionaries we know and LOVE. It’s been one year since they left. Things are different now. The missionaries don’t jundo (street-contact/proselyte) in the subway on the way to the church after arrival (covid). Instead, we cram them around all the quarantine food from Costco in the mission van! Ha!Left to right: AP’s Elder Harley and Elder 이민혁, Elder Chase Potter, Elder Ty Andrew (who grew at least an inch in his other mission
), Elder Timothy Amodt, Elder Nate Hooper, Elder McKay Shields and Elder Kellen BiehlerIt was a happy-grand reunion!Our hearts about broke in half, though, when one expected elder was no where to be seen. Turns out his covid test didn’t arrive in time and nobody told us. No hard feelings – AFTER he was tracked down in the middle of his night to confirm his safety! All incoming passengers to Korea must be covid-negative to board the plane. We can’t imagine how overwhelmed the mission department must be moving thousands of missionaries around and meeting the regulations of so many countries. It was another reminder of how every single one of our missionaries has a tremendous place in our hearts! We know where each one is and wish ALL were coming back. MOST are not coming back. We aren’t all of us getting our wishes in this regard… so … more sadness at what ‘could have been’. We know who is not here! We miss you and pray for you! However!!! We trust all of our KSSMissionaries are smiling and working hard wherever the Lord needs THEM…NOW! We ‘lift where we stand’! We ‘invite’ wherever we are serving! We are STALWART disciples of Christ. We are STALWART disciples of Christ FOREVER! !!FOREVER STALWART!!Even though some of our missionaries are ‘graduating’ from other missions, President Sargent and I enjoy facetime calls with them when they return home. We love it! Many have gone home in the last couple months! It keeps us happy-busy!
January 14, 2021-Zone Conference! Our first virtual zone conference! We all fit on one screen! Luckily we’ve made it this far in the pandemic before having to have a zone conference in it’s entirety this way. We have virtual meetings all the time, and going back 9 months, but we’ve always managed to meet in some size or another for zone conference. Right now Korea is coming off its third wave of covid cases and groups are not allowed of more than four people. Our conference was split over two days and it went much better than we imagined. We had really great feedback and contributions from nearly every missionary. The missionaries pictured are our new “specialists”, focusing on different parts or apps of social media, communication or family history, etc. They instructed us very well on how we can better use those tools in our “technology buffet”. This includes many foreigners who brought back ‘best practices’ they used in their other missions before returning to us. We also focused on using our time wisely (from PMG chapter8), and President Nelson’s talk “Let God Prevail”, among other things. The KSSMissionaries CAN and WILL be STALWART in these difficult times and see the blessings and miracles along the way as we CHOOSE to let the Lord prevail! FOREVER STALWART
January 10, 2021-FINALLY…. Elder Anthony Harley and Elder Connor Gibb were released from the pandemic required 2 week quarantine and were able to meet their companions and move in with them. They are our most recent returning foreigners, who served here with us previous to the pandemic and removal of all foreigners last March. Elder Harley is now an assistant serving with Elder Lee Min Hyuk and gets the award for the most difficult quarantine! He spent 10 days in a Korean hospital in an actual hospital bed (after the first two weeks in his missionary apartment) even though he’s totally healthy and NEVER had any symptoms. He had lingering positive COVID results from having COVID over 2 months ago! (We believe this is unusual.) Elder Gibb is now serving with Elder 황재하, and he receives the award for the longest quarantine! After Elder Harley was picked up after two weeks quarantine and put in the hospital, Elder Gibb was required to quarantine for two more weeks just because he had been Elder Harley‘s roommate!!! 24 days for Elder Harley and 28 days for Elder Gibb. These Elders can do HARD things and we are sooo glad to have them back! Don’t worry, we don’t anticipate having this happen again. Future missionaries will need a negative Covid test to enter the country. Still… if you are planning to come here… Please wear your masks, wash your hands, and do all you can to keep yourself free from COVID-19
December 11, 2020-Two more Elders have returned to us! Elder Harley and Elder Gibb are back! We feel so blessed! Their quarantine ends at noon on Christmas Day. A wonderful Christmas present for the KSSM! Elder Gibb was serving in a temporary re-assignment in Florida. Elder Harley had taken the option to wait until things got better to return to serve. The clock was stopped on his service. He was a student at BYU in the meantime.
October 15, 2020-KSSMissionaries sighted in the Utah Orem mission area… sharing the gospel together in Korean!Anthony Harley said, “The sister missionaries were teaching X—— and asked my friend Y—— if he knew anyone who spoke Korean, Y—— was like ummm actually yes and called me. I’ve met with them twice and we’ve gone through lesson 3: the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’re set to meet again on Friday. He moved here from (Korea) 9 months ago and is doing an English program at (a local university)…”. When Anthony (tallest in the photo) first showed up, he saw that the missionaries included our own Sister Elisabeth Howard (far right). These two stalwart missionaries served with us until the pandemic evacuation, and it appears they are somewhat (?
) serving together still!
September 4, 2020-Daejeon 1st Ward had a special baptism yesterday. Two baptisms in one day in our mission. I will never forget where I was standing when Sister Becky Wilson called me in the spring and asked if we were still baptizing during the pandemic because she had a friend that was ready!!!! She stopped me in my tracks. She had been quietly teaching this dear sister over zoom while home and waiting for temporary reassignments to begin. President and I were able to attend a couple of lessons with her on zoom before she went back into the full-time service in a new mission. Soon, we received Korean reassigned missionaries that speak English very well, to teach this foreigner sister living in Korea. They took over teaching this friend. Because of the recent second wave of coronavirus cases, her baptism was postponed and Sister 김해승 Kim HeSung went home last week. She came back yesterday for the baptism and was reunited with her companions Sister Taejeong Yim and Sister 권혜림 All of these sweet sisters took loving care of our new friend. They helped her along the way, to be ready for baptism. She has been loved by many missionaries, and will continue to be loved by many more as we help strengthen her and guide her along the path to the temple.Again, technology was wonderful as we were able to include Nicole Olson, Anthony Harley and Becky Wilson, all missionaries who worked with her who are no longer here. There are always others, so please add your names to this post. This sister did not want to be shown on Facebook. She is quiet and shy. She is also sweet and loving and we are grateful to have her join us as followers of Christ.
March 6, 2020-OFF THEY GO! 21 hours ago we found out our non-Korean missionaries were being sent home to their home countries for a 14 day self isolation period before beginning a temporary reassignment! We thought we would have 2 to 3 days to prepare them to leave, to pack, clean their apartments, etc. But as the email itineraries from mission headquarters began rolling in we learned we had less than 24 hours. It was a team effort to pull it off! Everybody worked hard and did their part. A special shoutout to our assistants and office staff who worked tirelessly to make and determine arrangements, be up until after the last group to arrive after midnight at our meeting spot, and before the first group left at 4:45 am for the airport this morning. The non-Koreans are staying behind one extra day to further train others and continue to carry out important functions. We had many members, including stake presidency’s and their wives, meet and feed our missionaries at their meeting spots as they left their departure locations. They offered rides and other important assistance. The Korea Service Center pitched in by making a late night run for baggage in another city that would not fit in the chartered bus. Thank you!!!It was hard not to hug! An elbow bump is such a disappointment but I tried to put all the love I could into each one. 
President and family get to stay and continue the work with our 15 remaining Korean missionaries. The two sisters alone will each manage six phones to stay up on current commitments 
. Our missionaries have NOT been released, they will keep missionary standards during isolation and have already begun to receive their temporary reassignments! Please post each one in a comment below so we know where you will be! We can’t wait to have our missionaries back when the time is right! FOREVER STALWART wherever you may be!
February 4th, 2020-zone conference in JeonJu with JeonJu and Daejeon zones participating! We focused on working with members. It was a real treat to have President Kim, a counselor in the mission presidency teach us. We heard a farewell testimony from Elder Cho, as well as a lot of fantastic training from our young mission leaders. We always hear beautiful music from our own missionaries!!! Sister Latricia Eastman Cannon taught us the correct way to recycle in Korea and how to protect against the coronavirus. Sister Andrew taught us some Korean sign language, which is different than English btw. Sister Sargent shared and taught about a Sargent family motto instituted by President Sargent, “whatever you are be a good one.” President Sargent demonstrated some excellent role plays, if I do say so myself, when invited in by the young mission leaders, in addition to his other teaching.
January 30, 2020-It’s a brand new transfer and a brand new mission leader ship team. We have several new faces and several returning leaders. We feel very grateful for all of these mission leaders that put in extra time to do extra assignments. We had a great council with them and received a lot of valuable feedback. It is wonderful to learn from each other.
January 29, 2020-Our January missionary arrivals met their companions today and all were trained and enjoyed getting to know each other. They are headed out to their areas. It’s going to be a great transfer! We are so happy to have them here.
January 28, 2020-Look who is finally here… safe and sound!! We just picked up seven fantastic missionaries from the airport. They are all doing well!!! We loaded their suitcases into the mission vehicles and gave them a snack. Then the missionaries head out on the subway to travel back to our Mission Home. It takes them one and a half to two hours and they jundo , or proselyte, all the way there, passing out Books of Mormon and pass along cards. We will serve them their first meal here in Korea as soon as they arrive: bibimpop! Happy day!!!
January 15-17, 2020-Our mission was fortunate to have Elder Choi Yoon Hwan and his wife, Sister Koo, visit our mission. He is a general authority and the president of the Asia North Area. They taught our mission leadership council in our home on the first day and then taught all of our missionaries in two different combined zone conferences the next two days. We were richly blessed by their wisdom, enthusiasm and testimonies.
January 5, 2020-The Daejeon stake is preparing a mini MTC training and experience for the youth in their stake, organized by the YSA. The event will take place in a couple of weeks. Today, the dynamic, enthusiastic and experienced young single adult leaders led role plays with our missionaries to prepare them to help in the event.
January 2, 2020-Zone conference in Daejeon with JeonJu. Mosiah 18. PMG chapter 10 Christlike attributes. Role plays in companionships regarding new missionary standards. Language study demonstration. Going after the ‘one’ with Elder Hale and his experience in the Air Force! Testimony by dear friends Jake and Vivian. Learning how to clean a clogged pipe and prevent aches in our backs, knees and ankles with Elder and Sister Cannon. Bouncing to stay warm for the obligatory picture… Sister Sargent’s great idea!
December 19, 2019 Christmas celebration and fun with the Daejeon and JeonJu zones. We had a fabulous ‘American’ lunch prepared by our wonderful senior missionaries, with hams donated by an angel family in one of the American military branches. We had a delicious dinner at a Korean restaurant a short walk away. In between… we shared Christmas music, laughing and games. We love each other.
December 16, 2019-Missionaries and members in Daejeon were caroling in the streets and sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ last night! They were lighting the world!
December 11, 2019-Today we had a follow up training for these fine missionaries that arrived at the end of October. 13 missionaries. And their trainers. It is a huge adjustment to join our mission and they are doing great. We are proud of them and their determination to keep trying, doing their very best! When we split into groups, a few of the new missionaries asked if they could sit on the floor. President teased about how they really are the youngest, and he felt like he was teaching in primary! Elder Ames sang a beautiful song with Joseph Seamons on the piano. We already see good things coming from this great group! We will receive 12 new missionaries one week from today!
November 19, 2019 Zone Conference with JeonJu, ChungJu and Daejeon Zones. Lots to cover: NEW missionary standards for life-long disciples of Christ, Light the World, Chapter 8 of PMG and revelatory planning, new cell phones, brown sea islands team-building and two meals to keep everyone happily fed! Also information from our mission nurse about yellow dust and healthy, colorful eating.
11/12/2019 Mission Leadership Council- Suji Chapel – We appreciate and value our young leaders! We have a very young Mission and nearly all of our leaders are training as well. So about half of this group arrived in our mission in the last four months and the other half are the leaders, and include our office elders. This is a great responsibility for these missionaries to train and lead at the same time and we are grateful for all they do. We also appreciate the younger missionaries who help. Their companions.
10/30/2019 It was a wonderful day with our newest missionaries. They received some training from the assistants, President Sargent, our mission nurse, Sister Latricia Eastman Cannon, and Elder and Sister Dewey, our senior office missionaries. Then….. they were matched up with their trainers! So fun! And off they went! (The group picture includes all of our new missionaries and their trainers, our office elders and assistants, the Dewey‘s, our Senior Missionaries that work in the office, and President and Sister Sargent, of course!)
10/29/2019 OCTOBER ARRIVALS! They have arrived!!! We just picked up 12 wonderful new missionaries who are joining our mission! We have their luggage, they had a snack and off they go to jundo (proselyte) all the way back to the mission home on the subway with some of those missionaries who will be training.
October 25, 2019-September arrivals! It’s the end of their first transfer…they are still alive…and doing really well! Oh how we love our newest missionaries, and their trainers, too! It’s hard work and quite an adjustment! We are proud of and grateful for them all!
October 15, 2019 Zone Conference – Daejeon Zone- TIME!!! – Plan&Prepare – Chapter 8 in Preach my Gospel
“As you devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs, the Lord will bless you with increased knowledge and testimony of the Restoration and of the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” – Missionary call letter
We are FOREVER STALWART!
October 6, 2019 Daejeon stake conference – it was held in a youth hostel in the mountains. The stake must rent space to fit their large group. They have a couple of smaller chapels but nothing that would work for the entire stake. They are hoping to have a new stake center built within a couple of years. These are faithful saints! The spirit was so strong. The choirs were amazing. A recent convert, sister Lee HaeHyun, from the Daejeon 1st Ward spoke. We met the family of Elder Kim Jaeseok
September 26, 2019 . New Missionaries! Pictures with President and Sister Sargent and with their new companion/trainer!
September 22, 2019 We visited the Gunsan branch. They wanted a picture with us and were so honored to have a mission president visit. They said they couldn’t ever remember having a mission president visit before. It was a great reminder of who we represent. They don’t know the Sargent’s. It wasn’t us that was important. We represent the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, as all of us do, as we wear our tags. It is so important to always do and say what our Savior would have us do and say.
August 27th, 2019 “In Unity There is Strength” Mission Activity: Jeonju, Chungju and Suwon zones. We discussed the many ways having UNITY in our work will help us with our purpose. Unity as Companionships, as a new mission, in our districts and zones, with the Holy Ghost, with our Savior, with the members, with our purpose, with the scriptures, with the prophet, etc. We heard powerful testimonies from our missionary leaders. We had some yummy lunch (thanks to the senior missionaries for cooking the bbq), had introductions, and some fun after that. It was inspiring and great for bonding, as well.
