Arcadia Stake Conference

Join us for Stake Conference which will be held this Saturday and Sunday, September 18-19.  An adult session will be held Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. and the general session will be held Sunday at 10:00 a.m. all at the Stake Center.  Elder Jeremy Jaggi will be our visiting authority, here is a little bit about him.  Jeremy Robert Jaggi was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 23, 1973, to Robert Stanley Jaggi and Judy Anne Roos. As a young boy in Salt Lake City, Elder Jaggi watched his parents serve those in their neighborhood. He remembers his father, a postman, giving several priesthood blessings. He understood at an early age that the power of the priesthood was real.

Shortly after returning home from his full-time service in the Ohio Cleveland Mission, Elder Jaggi met a young woman named Amy Stewart at his good friend’s wedding. She had returned a year before from the Germany Frankfurt Mission.

“He and I throughout the day would catch each other stealing glances at each other,” Sister Jaggi said. Later that evening playing basketball with his friends, Elder Jaggi told them he was going to ask her on a date. “They literally laughed at me and said, ‘Oh she’s been dating college graduates and professionals, and you just got off your mission. You’re a busboy at the Roof Restaurant’ — which I was,” he said, laughing. But he was determined. The next week, he and Amy went on their first date. They were married the following summer in the Salt Lake Temple on June 12, 1995.  

Elder Jaggi received a bachelor of science degree in behavioral science and health from the University of Utah in 1997 and an executive master of business administration degree from Pepperdine University in 2002.  His career in biotechnology marketing and sales moved the family from Monterey, California, to Issaquah, Washington; Henderson, Nevada; Salt Lake City; and Newbury Park, California.

Elder and Sister Jaggi are the parents of five children. They give thanks to the many bishops, ward members and neighbors who helped in times of trial and loss as they suffered miscarriages and battled infertility. “We just see God’s divine design in bringing different people into our lives,” Sister Jaggi said. “They were angels on site.” As Elder Jaggi reflected upon his family’s experiences and his previous callings, he said, “The one thing that I’ve learned is that God can take ordinary people and help them do extraordinary things.”
