I believe in miracles

Hello family! 

It's been a really great week here in Kent. I really love working with Sister Christensen. I've learned so much from her this transfer! She is such a great teacher, and I'm grateful to have been able to learn from her example. She's being transferred on Friday...I'll be sad to see her go. :(

It's also been so great to go on exchanges with the other sisters. Yesterday, I went on exchanges with Sister Joseph, and we had such an amazing day. Sister Joseph is wonderful! I was so inspired by her faith and love for everyone we taught. She is also a great teacher, and is very good at making lessons personal for those we teach. We taught our investigator, Brenda, about the Book of Mormon, and it was such a good lesson. Brenda has been taught many times before, but I feel like this time, she's really coming to understand the importance of the Book of Mormon, and she has a desire to actually read it.

Sister Joseph and I also stopped by and taught a less active man named Chris. Chris served a mission, but came home and fell back into old habits, got into trouble, and became less active. Now he's stuck with some severe consequences, and he told us that he knows he needs to get back on the right path, but doesn't see much hope for being able to do so. His story breaks my heart. He wouldn't even take the Book of Mormon we gave him inside, because he knew it would upset his girlfriend. How sad. However, we did have a really good, spiritual lesson with him--which I think helped him to remember what he learned on his mission and how important the scriptures are. I know it will be a long road, but I have great hopes for him. 

We've really seen a lot of miracles this week, though. Remember Michael, the man we met and taught in the park? He didn't show up for our return appointment, and we couldn't reach him by phone for a long time...which made me SO sad because meeting him was such a miracle! Well, guess what. He finally called us back on Saturday! It turns out that his phone had run out of minutes, so he couldn't call us til then. We were able to set up another appointment for this week, and I'm so excited to teach him again. I believe in miracles! A miracle's a miracle, no matter how small. :)

Something else I absolutely LOVE about Ohio is the FIREFLIES! They've just started coming out the last week or two...they are SO neat!! I've never seen live fireflies before...so I get really excited every time we see them. It always reminds me of the piece we played in Wind Symphony last year about fireflies. :)

 

We're out of time...but I love you all so much! Have a great week!

Love

Sister Wygant
