"All Hail the Queen" Sister Abigail Wright's England London Mission 7/14-1/16 : What a week...it's almost "SPOOKY" Norwich week 10

Mum,
Well first of all, the baptism was incredible!! The spirit was so strong and I think it was the best baptism I have ever been to!! I gave a talk on Baptism and Sister Murray the younger gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, her talk was amazing!!! Also, all 6 of us missionaries sang a musical number, How Great Thou Art, none of us are musical, but I think it ended up sounding ok! We had this great idea, so we bought little note cards and had everyone write down their testimony while she was getting changed then gave it to her after! She seemed to really love it! I also wrote a card to her and gave her the big temple drawing of the Logan Temple! She really loved it!! :)

To start answering questions.. NO IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE 4 MONTHS AT ALL!!! I can't believe I have been out that long! I kinda want it to slow down! To tell you about what we eat.. well usually whatever we can find in the house. ha Most of the time salads, wraps, sandwiches, toast or cereal. Luckily our district leader knows how to cook so sometimes he makes us pasta or something like that after district meeting! And ya know, of course some chocolate every once in a while! Also the occasional ice cream, but only to celebrate like after Saturday! :) I have no idea about the visiting Authority, I don't know who it is or when they are coming or if we will all go to London or not.. But as soon as I find out I will let you know! :) Oh also this week was the Stake Variety show.. apparently I skipped (jump roped) so well at the ward one that they had me do it in the Stake one as well! However, Sister Martineau was gone so I did cotton-eye joe by myself (Sister Schumann didn't have long enough to learn it) And then part of my single that I could remember. Then 2 of the Elders came on and we turned a long single rope for one of them while he did some push ups and such that I taught him. It went pretty well! Sister Schumann and I get along WONDERFULLY!!! I love her so much!! We are so close, we laugh together, we feel the spirit together, and sometimes we scream and take 40 minutes to kill a spider together! :) haha I love being a mum! It is stressful, and I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough to be training, but I turn to the Saviour and somehow I make it through. Her first name is Luana, people call her Luni at home, how cute is that?!?! She has one older brother, who served in London South and came home from his mission the day she came out into the field, so she literally won't see him for 3 &1/2 years, but she says he will still be there when she gets back and she is serving the Lord so it will all work out. She has such faith it is incredible!

We do have FB here, but it is a new account and it is private so you won't be able to see anything I post, but I will show you all when I get home! :) And we are the only 2 sisters in Norwich! They don't really celebrate Halloween here, actually the stores already have Christmas Window displays up!!! ITS NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING! I guess in their defense they don't have Thanksgiving but still, you know it is my least favourite thing when Christmas music is played before Thanksgiving.. so this month will be interesting! But I kinda love it! But back to Halloween, even though they don't really celebrate it here, the ward is having a trunk or treat and we will no doubt eat LOTS of chocolate/sweets on halloween! The primary program went so well!! I love the kids in this ward! They are so cute! I got to hold the mic for some of them while they read scriptures and it was so fun to help them!! They have a special place in my heart!!

Other than that nothing is new!!! Same old same old!! I love you so much mum and I am so grateful to you for living righteously and raising me with correct principles! I cannot thank you enough for everything you have ever done for me!

I love you to the moon and back infinity times!!
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
