It's NO "Trick" I have been out 4 months!! Norwich week 12


Hello mum!!!

This week has been great as always! As I'm sure you guessed or figured out by now today is our p-day because we had interviews yesterday! Because we are so far away from London instead of going to London, President and Sister Jordan come up here so they were at the Norwich chapel! They are both so amazing and I feel so blessed to serve with them! Sister Jordan gave an amazing training on knowing the Saviour. It was INCREDIBLE!!! But I will start with answering your questions:
Trunk or treat was lots of fun!! We didn't get to dress up, but all us missionaries switched tags then tried to act like each other, it was actually pretty funny and the ward got a kick out of it! I was Elder Mortensen, Sister Schumann was Elder Darrington, Elder Brunstad was himself cause he was really sick. Elder Mortensen was Elder Johnson, and best of all, Elder Darrington was Sister Schumann and Elder Johnson was me!! haha I think there are some pictures, I don't know if you can read the name tags but I hope my explanation makes sense! Sister Schumann and I bought some candy to hand out so that was fun! I have no idea why the pictures aren't working, I figured you would rather have me email them to you rather than take the time and try to figure out the camera in case I couldn't get it to work and then you didn't get any, I will try again today but if they don't work I will just email them again! Yes we carved pumpkins for last p-day and we usually do things as a district on p-day cause our district is awesome!! But if it just Sister Schumann and I we decide together, I love being a trainer but really it is just to help her and to serve her, I don't take any authority over our companionship or anything like that. I think this is how the Saviour would want it to be done. We have done a little tracting and more street finding! I still like street finding more, but tracting isn't too bad. I am doing wonderful and yes my shoes are holding up!! I bought a pair of brown ankle boots here and that is what I wear most of the time, just cause I don't want my feet to get cold in flats and it isn't pouring rain enough for rain boots. But the flats were used a lot when it was warmer! No news on the General Authority, but the Zone Leaders say that he might not visit our mission, he might be here on other business. However, we are having a Sisters Conference on November 26th! So that will be super good I'm really excited!!

 I think I answered all of your questions except the top 10 favourite things.. which is actually harder than you would think!! But I have a couple, I will tell you them but they aren't in order.. I will keep thinking so just know that this isn't an official list. But: chocolate, fashion, custard, culture, dry shampoo, accents.. that's all I got for now.. But I will get back to you!! Cool thing for the week, the Zone Leaders had a meeting in London, which means they bring back mail. We were talking to them on the phone when they were driving back and they told me that they had a huge package for me.. I was like what?!?! So I was super excited!! I asked them who it was from and they said Gary and Lesa Stevenson!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!!!! They sent me a HUGE tub of popcorn!! And the good cheddar kind that you like!! I ate a handful and it was just like I was sitting in the front seat of the Acadia driving home from Tai Pan!! haha I will send pictures of it!!

Popcorn the Stevenson's sent me


Can't believe it... cheese corn!


Thanks Stevenson's - Love Ya!


Also, there are some pictures of Sister Schumann being me on Halloween night hahaha hope you enjoy. (Its really funny cause every night as soon as we walk through the door I put my hair in a top knot-a bun) Other than that not a ton happened this week! We met 3 wonderful Chinese girls that we started teaching who are studying at the UEA (University of East Anglia) and they are great!! Hopefully there will be more to write about them soon! Next Sunday here is remembrance Sunday. So already everyone has poppy pins, its actually really cool! It is the 100th anniversary of the 1st World War so at the Tower of London they have planted one poppy for everyone who died in the war. Maybe you saw when they were working on it from my pictures of London? Anyway, its really cool! We aren't usually allowed to wear things like that but Sister Jordan said that we could wear a poppy ONLY on Sunday, so we are pretty excited! :) Thank you so much for your inspiring story of when you went to the temple. I started crying right here in the middle of the Library! I know that we are put where the Lord needs us to be, I'm sure it was probably frustrating and stressful that you missed the 1:00 session and that you had to wait for a while, but I know that the woman you helped was changed. She has a stronger testimony of the power of prayer and of our Fathers love for her. Thank you for going to the temple, for being a good example and for what you do  for me. I love you so much mum!! I don't know what I would do without you. I know that I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best to continue to be like my Saviour and do what is right so that I can return to live with him. I know that this church is true. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. I know the Saviour bled and died for us because we cannot do this alone. We need him more than we will ever realize. I am eternally grateful for him and for the price he paid for me. I love you so much and I hope you have a great week!!!!

I love you to the moon and back infinity times!!

Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
