#hallelujah

Hello everyone!!

This has been an eventful week, but I'll do my best to sum it up.

Tuesday we went on exchange so we were both in Illford! It was so much fun! It is way different than Sittingbourne, and it made me decide I officially miss London. There's too many old English people down here 😂 we rushed back Wednesday morning to make it to district meeting in Gravesend, and we did a blitz after. MOST FUN BLITZ IVE EVER DONE!! (A blitz is where a bunch of missionaries go out and find in the same area.) We drew the Plan of Salvation with chalk then invited people to walk through it with us, it had to be the most effective finding I've ever done! Then we ate pizza.

The rest of the week was super busy preparing for ROGERS BAPTISM!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO He was baptised on Saturday, it was a beautiful service and the spirit was so strong. All his family was able to come and a lot of the ward was there as well. One of our investigators, Kizzy, was also able to make it and she LOVED IT. We were talking to one of Rogers granddaughters and found out she had been baptised many years ago and lives in the ward boundaries, she agreed to start coming back to church with her granddad! WOW.

Side note: I don't know if I've told you guys already, but the ward is doing what we call a 40 day fast. Each day for 40 days a different member of the ward fasts for the missionary efforts in this area. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY MIRACLES. The Saviour is definitely standing by us in this work, and how lucky we are to be able to help it progress.

Sunday Roger was confirmed and asked if he could share his testimony, yes you read that right, HE asked if he could share his testimony. He bore a beautiful witness of Christ and the difference he has seen in his life since turning to Him. He also whipped out a scripture from the Doctrine and Covenants in his new quad. (So cute!!!!) one that we had never read with him before. YOU GUYS HE IS SO GOOD!!!!

We also got an awesome referral from a member! Our new friend's name is Ollie. He is 18 and is so sincere about learning. Miracles peeps, so many miracles.

Other news from the week:
*Sister Haynie has been super sick the past couple days. But we just keep going. Bless her. Keep her in your prayers.
*I ran into a pole when I was walking down the street. I don't know how it happened. Don't ask.
*We sang again in public and Sister Haynie made me sound amazing (no surprises there)

I love this work so much!! I love being able to give all my time and talents to the Lord. Our companion prayers each night are probably some of the most spiritual experiences I have had. Christ is here. He is in every tiny aspect of this work. I love the Book of Mormon and the difference it can make in people's lives. I love the gospel, I love his work, I love my Saviour, and I love all of you. I challenge you all to take time each day to contemplate the life of Christ as we celebrate the final week of His life this Easter week. He changed everything.

Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
