Dear Family and friends,
This is another weekly repost from the world’s first garden city. Yup that’s
right. Letchworth is the world’s first garden city! Talk about a pretty cool
town :) hahah but anyhoo I’m staying in this area for another 6 weeks which is
great!! Because I love everybody in the ward and we are all starting to really
get to know each other and just have a fun time! :) For example the EQP (Elders
Quorum President) is talking about taking me to the Arsenal football game
around Christmas time!!!! :) :) :) :) :) WEHUU!! But the only problem is…. I
might be in a trio with the Hitchin Elders by that time and I don’t want to go
with them. I just want it to be me and the EQP. He’s a complete stud! And I
also have to ask the mission president if I can actually do that… so I’m trying
to gain his trust by calling in miracles and reporting about how great we’re
doing, so he feels like I’m a good missionary. Hahah I’m such a deceiving
little devil. But he (mission president) can probably see right through me, cuz
he has the priesthood and such. Haha but whatever. It’s worth a shot! :)
So yesterday we went to London!! :) It was so great!! But we didn’t go see the
sights. We went to Camden Town. It’s like your typical bargain market. And let
me tell ya, I was reeeeaaalll good at bargaining (say it in caleb’s voice) haha
so I bought a few things and I am going to try to send them home if it doesn’t
cost too much. But it was a really fun day! I went with Elder Ottoni (the Zone
Leader) form Brazil, and Elder Brunstad and Elder Culaug(the Stevenage Elders).
It was really fun!! It was so nice just too kinda step into the world and
actually buy worldly things, and think worldly. Haha (if that makes any sense
at all) But it was a great day!
To be honest we aren’t teaching anybody really. We have the people that we go
and teach, but they aren’t reading or praying. So they aren’t getting any
closer to baptism, but that isn’t our purpose as missionaries. Our purpose is
to invite others to come unto Christ and let them choose if they want to. And
that is one thing that I’ve grown to understand that you can’t control. No
matter how hard you try to make somebody do something you can’t make them do
it. Which kinda sucks. Cuz the whole time you’re teaching them you think, “Just
flippin pray!! It will HELP you!! Don’t you understand??!! This is TRUE!!” But
then you actually have to say, “That’s alright you don’t have to pray. But just
remember that Heavenly Father wants to hear from you just as much as you want
to hear from your kids.” Hahah but I guess that is why we were given agency.
This life would be far too easy if we didn’t have it. And this life wasn’t
meant to be easy. So it works out. :) But we are really focusing on working
with the members. But our only problem is we don’t have any appointments to
take them too… Sooo we need to find people to teach! I know we will find some,
because this is the Lord’s wok and he wants us to teach people about his
gospel. So He will help us to find the people we need to teach, and help us
find people who are ready for the gospel.
So mum I did receive your package :) and thanks for everything!! It helps out
soo much! Elder Carder is really impressed with how much mail I get, because he
has never been with a companion who has gotten as much mail as him, because he
is from Wales and he can receive post in about a day. So that’s most definitely
at least a couple points to whom has ever sent me something through the mail :)
For Christmas….. “All I want for Christmas is you.” Hahah Jk that’s not
possible… Or is it?..... What time are we skyping?! :) :) :) :) :) just give me
a time and a place and im there. :) I can’t wait for that day!!!
So this next little bit
is something really dumb that I thought about and I wanted to throw it in here
for fun so here you go. Hmmm… Alright are you ready for this?
Dundundundundundundun here’s a little Elda Wright remix. Comin at ya, all the
way from London BABBY! Sir I want to buy these shoes, for my Elder
please. It’s Christmas eve and these shoes are just his size. Could you hurry sir,
his companion says there’s not much time, you see, His shoes have been worn a
while, and I, know these shoes will make him smile, and I want him to look
beautiful, with his new shoes on tonight…. Hahah kinda dumb I know but I
honestly don’t need too much for Christmas. Just Ties. Maybe a tie hanger?
Is that what those things are called? But you hang your ties on them. Ya
that would be nice :) But just be creative. Anything sent from you is good
enough for me :)
I love you guys so much! Thanks
for all of your wonderful examples and letters! Keep them coming :) It’s what
keeps me going through the week. Love Ya,
Elda Wright :)
