The greatest 4 weeks of my life!

Hey peeps!

As you can read from the caption, this transfer has been the greatest 4 weeks of my life. I cannot begin to describe to you the feelings and impressions and miracles we have seen. I also can't describe the heartache and sadness we have felt. How blessed we are!

Sister Rodriguez has taught me so much and she is incredible! We have laughed more than I have in my entire life put together! And we have cried more than I ever have in my life. But don't worry, they were happy tears, tears brought by the spirit. Well except like 2 nights ago when I started sobbing because she's leaving me in a week, it was kinda joking crying... but kinda not. I am so grateful for the person she is and the person she has become. I hope in another 6 months I can become a little more like her, but I have a long way to go.

We have been working with a lot of people lately, and I don't have time or finger energy to tell you about all of them, but we are excited for their progress. We have felt the love God has for each one of them as we have rejoiced because of their progress or been saddened because of their lack of. But we know the Lord has a plan and we can't change agency... Cause we don't follow Satan! (Thank heavens) More in the weeks to come.

Tuesday we had an exchange with Sister Mattos and Sister Tavares who are serving in Gorelston. They are great! We had lots of fun talking to people, teaching African kids, and doing face masks.

Thursday we had the opportunity to go to MLC (mission leadership conference). It is a meeting with President and Sister Stevens, the Assistants, all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders. It was INCREDIBLE AND FABULOUS! The spirit was so strong and there was so much revelation that my brain almost exploded. It was also great to catch up with old leaders, and of course, Sister Jopanna (we will be friends for life).
Sister Rodriguez and I had a really cool experience there. During one of the trainings we were talking about our purpose, calling, and who we represent. We were doing an activity where we introduced ourselves in one minute or less. As Sister Rodriguez introduced herself as a representative of Jesus Christ tears filled both of our eyes as we thought of our Saviour, what he has done for us, and how much it means to represent him.  We finally pulled ourselves together and it was my turn.  (Little back story to this is that when I went home, I only cried twice. Once the night I found out I was going home, and once when I had to take my badge off.) As I stated that I was a representative of Jesus Christ I looked down at my badge and touched his name. Again, we couldn't hold back the tears. I was taken to a year and a half ago when I touched that badge to take it off, and the feelings associated with it. Now I stand as a worthy representative of him and I finally realise how much of a privilege it is to be a missionary. I think a quote from Elder Oaks sums it up nicely, he tells of Christ's disciples as they were ridiculed and thrown out and he says "Thus, when Peter and the other Apostles were beaten, they rejoiced 'that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name." Although I don't have to go through what they did, I feel honoured and I rejoice to be worthy to feel just a little of what he felt.

Saturday we had Zone Meeting, and we were able to give the same training in which we had that experience. It was a privilege to be able to testify of the spirit we felt and the power that comes with being a missionary.

Well, I think this has been long enough, and Jack said that if they are too long he will never read them, so to keep the audience I'll close by saying how much I love all of you!!!!
Also, I love the Book of Mormon. It's true. And Christ lives.

Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
