Hurrah for Conference!!

Hi Mama!!

Thanks so much for the Conference package and letter! I loved the rolls. :) I got the questions from Dad for the ward fireside--I will answer those soonest, but I might not have time for a few weeks. We're deep cleaning today, and next week we'll be getting ready for TRANSFERS! Already!? Crazy. Big news for transfers--Sister Foust and I will both be training new sisters!! We're both pretty excited, but I'm especially excited for Sister Foust. She is an amazing missionary and person, and I know that she will be a wonderful trainer! And thanks for forwarding my note to Katy. We found out this week that we can indeed email friends! They changed the email rule, and we are now allowed to email friends and other missionaries outside our mission boundaries. Yay! I'd love to hear from everyone--feel free to email me! I can't promise that I'll email back right away, but I'll do my best. :)

This week has been AMAZING. For one: Sister Noffsinger had to go to the hospital a few weeks ago because she was having trouble breathing...and she hasn't smoked since! YAY!! Heavenly Father has a unique way of answering prayers sometimes, but He does answer. :) 

Second, we had interviews with President Vellinga last week...which make my day every time. President Vellinga is such an amazing man. He just exudes light and love and warmth, and inspires me with everything that he says! 

Third, Conference was incredible. I am so grateful for the opportunity we had to receive so much light, encouragement, counsel, and knowledge from our beloved Prophet and his counselors. I had an armful of favorites also: Sister Dalton, Elder Cardon, the combined choir from BYU (!!! :) ), Elder Cook (perfect for one of our potential investigators--I really hope he was watching!!), Elder Ellis (he spoke at the Kirtland Stake Conference in the fall--he's amazing! I love "we are not spiritual orphans". Amen!), President Uchtdorf, "Come and see" from Elder Anderson, Sister Wixom (so perfect for me as a missionary--easily applied to investigators and new missionaries who are young in the gospel!), "Our lives are a gift from God. The quality of our lives is a gift to Him" from Elder Clayton, and everything that Elder Holland said. I love how well he expounds short or simple scriptures. He is such a great teacher, and his testimony is so powerful. I am so grateful for such wonderful examples, and such wonderful counsel! I wish we could have General Conference every week. :)

I'm so glad you got to go to Bryce Canyon!  I look forward to going there with you someday! And I'm so glad that Purrcy kept you company so well during Conference. :)  We have such an amazing gift--the gospel--that blesses us and our families so much...I know that it is true, and I want to share it with everyone! :) 

I hope you're having a wonderful day, and a wonderful week. I love you!!!!!

Love,
Sister Wygant
