So we started the week by reevaluating last transfer. We did a lot of
good and felt like we worked hard, but we decided it wasn't enough. We
want to consecrate this next transfer. To consecrate ourselves. To be
more diligent of mind and to work harder than we ever have in our
entire lives. We also realised that even after all that, if we didn't
include the Lord in our work it wouldn't mean a thing. So that's
exactly what we have done. We started it all off with a fast and
invited our bishop and ward mission leader to join us. And then, we
got up and went to work. We have been exhausted every night and have
had to drag ourselves up the stairs, and yet I have never been
happier. I have never been more excited and satisfied to be tired in
my entire life.
Well boy did we see a miracle! We had been really trying to get people
to church, but no one could come. Sunday morning we had hung up our
coats and were walking into the chapel when our ward mission leader
pulled us aside and introduced us to Roger. Roger had just decided
that he wanted to come to church this morning. Without really going
into it he was having a lot of family problems and was looking for
support and comfort. He had heard all kinds of crazy things about us
being a cult and such, but had a daughter that was a member so decided
he would just try it out. 😱 we were able to teach him The Restoration
in gospel principles AND answer a lot of questions that night at our
ward mission leaders home. He is now preparing to be baptised on March
26 and can already feel the love the Lord has for him. HOW COOL IS
THAT?! THIS IS THE KIND OF MIRACLE YOU READ ABOUT IN BOOKS!!!!
I know that we are so blessed!!
Some other fun facts from the week:
Sister Haynie crashed her bike. Yes she is okay, just a scrapped knee.
One of our investigators told us all about the African dream world in
a lesson we tried to teach him.
We had district meeting and a member that is thinking about serving a
mission was able to come!
We went to Canterbury for p-day.... Again.
Well I cannot express how grateful I am for all of you and your many
prayers! We feel them and appreciate them so much. I am so grateful to
be able to be out here serving the Saviour. I know he is in the very
details of this work and I am honoured to be able to be his hands. My
relationship with Him is my most prized possession and I am so
grateful to be able to help it grow everyday as I keep him in my
heart, on my mind, and on my lips. I know that so many of the
doctrines of this gospel have the power to make a difference in
people's lives but only Him and His atonement can change lives. How
lucky we are to know the truth. I LOVE THIS WORK, I LOVE THE SAVIOUR,
AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU.
I AM SO GRATEFUL AND HONOURED AND SO MANY OTHER REALLY GREAT WORDS
THAT I CANT THINK OF AND HAPPY TO BE A MISSIONARY.
have a great week!
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
