Hey everyone!
Okay so this is going to be really really short. But I'll give you the cool parts of the week. Well it's all cool, but you know what I mean.
Tuesday Elder Oaks visited our mission. He and some other area authorities spoke to us and the London South mission in the Hyde Park chapel. IT WAS AMAZING! He spoke about a lot about teaching repentance. Teaching repentance always precedes baptism. There are no instances (that Elder Oaks knows of) where the scriptures speak about baptism and repentance isn't mentioned. However there are a lot where replace is spoken of and baptism isn't mentioned. It's the key to returning to live with God and we all need to know it and do it.
Saturday I had the opportunity to go to the temple with Sister Rodriguez since it's her last transfer. It was so incredible. As my dad says: "I'm grateful to belong to a church that knows what temples are for." The spirit was so strong and I learned so much. We were able to do 2 sessions and sealings. I can't even begin to describe how I felt when I was there and the gratitude I have to be able to go. The closest I can get to describing it are Oliver Cowdrey's words when he says "What joy! What wonder! What amazement!"
I have loved my 5 short weeks with Sister Rodriguez. She has taught me so much. I really feel like I have never grown as fast as I have with her. Her testimony is powerful. Her spirit is powerful. She is powerful. And all because she knows who her Saviour is. I hope one day I can grow up to be like her. But no fear, we will see each other when we are flat mates at USU ☺️
I know this church is Gods church again restored on the earth. I know Christ lives and as the bible says "And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them." This is His work. I'm lucky to play a small part in it.
I love Jesus Christ. I love each of you.
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
