It sounds like great things are happening at home, and great things are happening here as well! We saw SO many amazing miracles this week. Here's just a few:
*Christmas Mission Conference IN the Kirtland Temple
*Being in exactly the right place at the right time to meet John, a less-active member, right on the street, and get his contact info.
*Praying in Spanish! And visiting with Sister Rosales, who only speaks Spanish, with the help of a Spanish-speaking member
*Not freezing while tracting :)
*Having our car battery die...but meeting some amazingly kind and helpful people who helped us jump it, and then having the opportunity to invite them to Nativities :)
*Playing my flute at the Kirtland Stake Christmas program!
*Meeting a member who sang a beautiful solo, who is originally from The Netherlands and Germany, and getting to talk with her about the beautiful places we both love in those countries. :)
*Getting to go to a special baptism yesterday, and a complete miracle happened--I had my flute with me for a rehearsal much later (definite inspiration), and the person scheduled to play interlude music was sick, so I was asked to step in!! Amazing, amazing opportunity, that I was so grateful for.
*Watching the Christmas Devotional, and being so uplifted and inspired. I am so grateful for beautiful music, and for wise and loving leaders!
*MUSIC. I pulled my flute out to practice with Sister Walker this week in preparation for our musical number yesterday, and playing my flute, just for that short time, was a spiritual feast, and filled gaps in my soul that I didn't even realize were there. Just like the gospel does for people who don't realize they are searching for the truth. :)
*exchanges with Sister Rigby, who is an amazingly loving and dedicated missionary. I absolutely love her
*an amazing lesson with Sandy, a recent convert, about the Plan of Salvation, and making a great connection in Jacob 5 with her (the spot where she's reading in the BoM)
*An amazing lesson with our investigator Jason. We left a Book of Mormon with him last time, read 1.5 chapters and asked him to finish chapter 2--and he read all the way to chapter 11!! MIRACLE.
*Looking back over the week and realizing that we had been led, protected, and strengthened by the Spirit far more than we even realized in the moment. Being an instrument in God's hands is one of my very favorite things, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve Him full time as a missionary. I love this work, and I love my Savior. I know I can't do it alone, but I see more and more clearly/obviously these days His hand in my life and in our work. I know that He works with us!
Our investigator Bob was sick all last week and couldn't come to church :( He is so amazing though, and is already working with us to set up a lesson time for this week. Would you pray for him to feel well enough to meet and come to church? Thank you so much!
Sister Nelson is amazing, and I love her so much. I have learned SO much from serving with her, especially about love, dedication, charity, and patient. She goes home next week--I can't believe it! It seems like we just started working together. I hope I can be as amazing as her someday. :)
Time is short, so I have to get going. I love you so much, and am so grateful for you. Thank you for being wonderful, and for letting me come on a mission!!
Love,
Sister Wygant
