Birthday Blessings

Hey fan club!

Hope you all had a wonderful week and a delightful sabbath! This week has definitely been one for the books! Thank you all for your sweet birthday wishes yesterday and today! I feel your love and it strengthens me so much! I don't know what I would do without you. It truly was a great birthday. We went to church, had a meeting, ate some food (really good food), opened some great presents (thanks fam) and found lots of people who want to learn about how to change their lives through the atonement of Christ. I couldn't have asked for a better day! I definitely don't feel like I'm 21 though... Maybe it will kick in eventually.

So SURPRISE! DORIS GOT BAPTISED!! Yeah we couldn't believe it either. It was definitely a ninja baptism. And a great birthday blessing. She was just so prepared and ready. We committed her to be baptised on Saturday when we saw her on Monday, then taught her everything else she needed to know by Friday. It truly was a miracle. We for sure wouldn't be able to  do this work without help from the other side of the veil. Her husband, who passed away 17 years ago, was definitely watching out for her. She has such strong faith and determination to always follow Christ. It's inspiring. We were on the bus on the bus with her on the way home from the baptism and we saw the most beautiful rainbow, so which Doris says "it's cause I got baptised" HOW TRUE THAT IS!
Plus, before the baptism she taught us how to do the African head scarf thing, so that's like the coolest thing ever.

The other Colchester sisters, Sister Soulier and Sister Guimaraes also had a baptism on Saturday, so really the week couldn't have been any better!

Sister Matthews and I are basically sisters, and we have the time of our lives. Life is good here is Col-chizzy. So good.

I love you all so much! Sometimes I think about the past two years of my life and I can't believe what has changed and how I have changed. I know it is only because of the atonement of Jesus Christ, but it also because of the part each one of you has played in my life. I know Christ lives. I know He stands beside us in this work. I know because of Him I will never be the same. THE BOOK OF MORMON IS THE GREATEST BOOK EVER!!! It really teaches us everything. Like everything. Im so grateful to belong to a church that knows the "why's" of eternity and not just the "how's."

Keep it real guys.
Your favourite missionary,
Sister Wright
