This week has been a good one! Again, so much learned about how the spirit works and my reliance on the Saviour!
Tuesday we had an exchange with Thetford. I spent the day with Sister Matthews! It was incredible!! She is from South Africa and is a fabulous missionary. We decided one day I'm going to visit her and we will go swimming with sharks. I also found out that my favourite animal is a shark.. I think that started when I learned so much about them with Clementine. I only realised when someone asked me what my favourite animal is and that was the first thing that came to mind! #funfactoftheweek
We also has an exchange on Friday with the Dereham sisters (pictured below) I was with Sister Dabrowska. She is from Poland and is usually in the Visitors Center, but moved to Dereham for her time out in the "real world" 😉 we had lots of fun and even fed some ducks! Turns out the male ducks don't really like chocolate though... That or the lady duck ate it too fast for them to have a chance.. Sounds like real life 😂
We are continuing to see Arshed, Mary and their family who are preparing for baptism on June 11. They are incredible! Like seriously, GOLDEN. They are from Iraq, but have citizenship in the states. They are living here for Mary to get her PhD. They are so great that they do things like study the Book of Mormon for two hours a day and watch meet the Mormons (without anyone showing it to them) and cry cause they are so touched. They will be kingdom builders. We are sure of it.
One thing I learned from this week: many moons ago, in Sister Wright Part 1, I asked President Jordan how I could improve my studies. He replied very simply, "ask why." I have been doing that ever since and I can honestly say I have learned something new everyday since. So obviously, that changed me, but more recently I have been thinking about that and I realised how much we can learn not just from asking why as we study but for asking why for everything! Before we go out to talk with people on the street I think "why?" And it helps me to refocus on my purpose, which is to invite others to come unto Christ. I know as I remember this always that I will always have the confidence that I am doing His work in His way. (Shout out to President Jordan- I don't even know if he remembers telling me that)
You guys its so incredible to be a missionary!! Like seriously, I love this job. I love the opportunity I have to see the atonement change people everyday. I love being able to bear witness that He Lives, that the Book of Mormon is true, and that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. I KNOW IT!
I love this church, I love the Lord, and I love all of you!!
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright

| Wonderful gift from home for my 1 year mark. Everyone sent in a word that described me and my mum made this collage. My great-grandma Call said, "Handsome" I guess from pride and prejudice time. |
