Hey mama!!
SO many questions!! But I will try to answer them all. I REALLY am doing awesome! The work here is different than the work in Watford and I am getting used to it! :) It is beautiful up here and not as crazy as Watford, since Watford was technically part of London, I miss the business but its nice that its more calm here, you would like it here more than down there. I got BAD sinusitis this week, but ya know, the enabling power of the atonement is real. I prayed to have enough strength and energy to make it til I got home every night and that is exactly how much I had. I would get home and just collapse. But I am doing lots, lots better now! I started taking Sudafed when I felt it coming on but it came anyway. Long story short Im alright now :) The videos wont load by themselves, I've tried everything. But if I have time I will try to send it in an email. Also, I wanted Soph to know that I was thinking about her all day on her birthday, so I made a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPH' poster, but each letter was on a separate piece of paper and I carried them around with me all day and took pictures with them by things here in Norwich and just random things. I already uploaded them to drop box but that is what they spell so that you arent confused, and yes I did it on her birthday. I am gonna try to send one to Kels this week cause the little stinker hasnt emailed me yet!!!! So Sister Martineau is studying to be a nutritionist so I eat real healthy!! And guess what?? I actually feel better! Dont get me wrong, we still eat chocolate but we make sure we eat enough fruits and vegtables each day and it makes us happy :) This flat isnt actually a flat.. ITS A HOUSE!!! I walked in and I was amazed! I will upload pictures of it next week if I remember to take them... haha... Sister Martineau is just the greatest and we get along wonderfully. She has been out 14 months and is called my follow-up trainer. She says to tell you that she has red hair and that she will be a fabulous grandma one day.. haha I make fun of her and call her grandma sometimes cause she is so caring and kind and she speaks quietly and slowly like a grandma.. but mostly I call her grandma because a nice old lady in the ward gave her grandma shoes!! HAHAHA they are hilarious! She wore them once cause I mean how could you not? they are RAD!! We do service A LOT! Especially for a lady named A who the sisters and elders have been doing service for for a really really long time. But for the first time ever this week we got to teach her! It was the most amazing lesson and the spirit was so strong. She is catholic so we went through the dates of the great apostasy with her and she flat out said "The Catholic church is rubbish and full of men who steal money from people." So there you have it! haha it was definitely a miracle! I love that my testimony grows with every lesson I teach. Helping people come to Christ is honestly the greatest thing in the entire world. I LOVE THIS WHOLE MISSION THING!!!! I dont get to see Pres. and Sister Jordan much anymore. But every transfer I will get to see them at least once. This transfer we have Zone Conference not this coming week but the next week so that will be super awesome! So on p-days we always email, clean, and grocery shop, also sometimes we other shop but this week we went and got my hair cut cause it was being real nasty and we played football(soccer) and basketball with the Elders! It was soooo fun! I defs showed up some of the Elders at football and Sister Martineau also killed it. So.. sorry I had to spend personal money on the hair cut or I would have run out of money for eating the rest of the month. I dont know how the mission money thing works, we usually barely have enough to eat every month. But then again we eat A LOT so if we didnt eat as much we probably would have enough money.. But we have to stay nourished cause we walk. Also, side note, the lady in the picture whose hair I am dying, that is A. And yes, apparently now I die hair so theres that. :)
Ok funny story for the week.. Last week we were on a bus and this turkish man kept looking at us and looking at our tags all funny, Sister Martineau leaned over me and said "Do you know Elder Nolan(one of our Zone Leaders)?" and he said "No but I want to be Christian." So i was like ya man we can help you with that and started to explain a little about our church and Sister Martineau again goes, "Do you know Elder Nolan?" And the guy kinda just looks at her funny and I keep going and explain to him where church is and what time it is and Sister Martineau again, louder this time goes, "DO YOU KNOW ELDER NOLAN??" and the guy looks at her and goes, "Who is Elder Nolan??" haha after we got off the bus she explained to me that he looks exactly like one of the Elders former investigators, and we laughed for ages!!! haha so eventually we ended up getting his number and telling him where and when church was. Well Sunday comes around and he calls so he can get a lift for church. So we set one up and he came all 3 hours and LOVED it!! He was even taking notes and paying attention super well. The sacrament meeting talked were on the restoration, perfect right?? This church is true. And afterwards he said, wow I loved the story about Joseph smith and we have an appointment to meet with him this wednesday!!!! He was definately a miracle! Also, yes, he met Elder Nolan. hahaha it was a funny miracle!! :) Well that is about all for this week I think! We are doing well here in Norwich and loving serving the Lord! This work is going to move forward with or without us, so we are lucky to be a part of it! Love you so much mum!!!!!
To the moon and back infinity times,
your favorite missionary,
Sister Wright
