Our week has been really good! We have found a lot of new investigators this week and taught a lot of lessons! If you remember the guy from last weeks email, the one that we found because Sister Martineau kept asking if he knew Elder Nolan, well his name is M and he is on date to get baptised on Oct. 4th!! crazy right? That definitely wasn't a coincidence, but it was hilarious! This week we had an exchange on Wednesday (when one of us goes to the sister training leader's area and one of the sister training leaders comes here) So Sister J
and I were here in Norwich and it was super fun! I mean nothing different really happens, you just have a different companion for the day! So ya that is who is in my pictures from this week :) ha We have Zone Conference this Tuesday so that will be fun to see President and Sister Jordan and learn from them! :) Since you haven't sent my package, you don't need to worry about getting it here until the end of September, because the next time someone will bring mail from the Mission Office is well, tomorrow, then after that not till the beginning of October! So no worries :)!! Thank you! :)
Well, this is weird not having any questions to answer! I don't really know what to say. Maybe I need you to send lots of questions cause its easier to tell you things when you ask about them! It is starting to get a lot colder here, but I like it! Mostly cause it means we can drink a lot more hot chocolate!!!! :) (My favourite is the vanilla hot chocolate from Starbucks, just in case you were wondering!) Oh I know what to tell you guys!!!! So on Saturday, the ward is having a talent show, or a variety show they are calling it. Well apparently when you're a missionary you're supposed to have talents you can just pull out of your pocket and do. Sister Martineau can play the piano and sing, but as you all know I cant sing. haha So... Guess what we are doing?!?! JUMP ROPE!!! haha for our exercise every morning I am teaching her cotton-eyed-joe and we are going to perform it! She is actually really good so it will be fun! ha who knew I would ever perform jump rope on my mission?!? Also one of the Elders doesn't know what to do for his talent so he is going to jump with us! haha its actually our District Leader, Elder M. haha so that should be interesting. We are trying to find double dutch ropes so that we could do double dutch, but I honestly have no idea when we are going to practice so ya.. haha it should be interesting especially since I technically haven't jumped in like 6 years!! haha Also, on a more spiritual note. I don't know if I told you this already but they had a European womens broadcast here a little while ago, like a week or two, and Elder Bednar spoke about the enabling power of the atonement and left a challenge for everyone to take a new copy of the Book of Mormon and go through and mark all the examples or teachings of the enabling power of the Atonement and promised that as we do so our relationship with the Saviour will grow and we will come to know him even more. I have started to do this and it WORKS!!!! I know that I am coming to know my Saviour more and more everytime I read the Book of Mormon but especially as I look for the strength he gives his people. I am also marking all of the times where Christ is testified of, if that makes sense. And it has built my testimiony so much that the Book of Mormon really is another testament of Jesus Christ. So I know that you all don't have an hour every morning to study but I extend the same challenge to you. Take a brand spanking new copy of the Book of Mormon, and start reading from the beginning, marking everytime it talks about Christ in red and everytime it talks about the enabling power of the Atonement in blue (ya know, or whatever other colors you wanna use) I promise that if you do this it really will change your relationship with the Saviour. You will come to know him more, just as I have! So that is my spiritual thought/idea/challenge for you!! :) But other than that we are doing great up here in Norwich! Life is good and being a missionary is brilliant! Thanks for everything momma. I love you more than you will ever know and I miss you so much. I hope you're still doing ok without me ;) haha I love you to the moon and back infinity times!
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
