Happy New Year 2014


            Dear Mum,

I loved how at the start of your letter you said, “I pray this year flies by for all of us cause after seeing you I can’t wait till you are home.” Haha because I pray for that every day and night. :) Elder Dowdle makes fun of me for praying for that, but I am like step of ginger man. You’re just mad that you’re a ginger. Then he gets mad at me and we fight. Hahahah JK :) But I would have to say that my mission is going by pretty dang fast! In a sense I want it to slow down, but then I think of home and of you guys and I think…. GET ME HOME!! Haha :)

            It sounds like the improvements on the home are coming along nicely :) Point4you. And you passed your Real Estate license test!!! 10points4you :) I can finally say I am proud that you are my mum….. hahahah Just kidding mum I love ya to bits. I was proud of you long before that!! Wow. Im sorry that was really rude. Haha

            Im guessing you want to hear how my week went and such…. So here is kinda what happened. >:)

            Monday- Monday was pretty relaxed; because we had Zone meeting from 10 to about 3 then we had to travel back to the L.G.C. (Letchworth Garden City) for a dinner appointment with the Collinsons. After the dinner appointment we went tracting for about an hour or so and that was about it.

            Tuesday was really funky. Cuz we were supposed to e-mail on Wednesday but the Library wasn’t opened so… we had to do it today and that kinda messed up all of our plans…. So that kinda stinks but hey it was nice e-mailing you guys :) After that we travelled to Baldock. And I say travelled, because it’s like a 3 mile walk… UGH. Kill me. And it’s not like you can talk to people on the way or anything, you are just walking through fields and random scurry paths. So travelling there was quite fun :) LOL  But once we were there we stopped by a few Referrals given to us by members. And 2 of the referrals didn’t live at that house so that was a bit awkward. Hahah This is how the door approach would go. Knock knock knock. *guy opens the door Me: Hey does Nick Kent live here? Random Guy: Nope. Sorry mate. You got the wrong house. Me: That’s alright. So my friend and I we are missionaries from our church and blah blah blah blah blah blah. Random Guy: Sorry mate, not interested, but have fun in the rain. *Shuts the door :) hahahah Dang. Talk about a succour punch to the gonads. Haha But after trying to contact the referrals we went to a dinner appointment at the Loveridge’s home and after that went and celebrated new years at the Jaszewski’s!! But don’t worry we went to bed at 10:30…. I was a bit flustered because I wanted to stay up til 12, but Elder Dowdle would have none of it. Stingy Ginger Man. Heheheeh >:) overall a pretty good day :)

            Wednesday- P DAY!! Just messed around and did P-DAY stuff. I don’t want to bore you with what we did so I’ll save you from those stories. Haha :)

            Thursday- I started to get ill. Just like a sore throat and a cough. But hey I didn’t stay in the flat. But boy was I praying like crazy not to get ill. This is how my prayer went I’m not a slacker, I do the work. Check it out I’m in really bad shape. C’mon gimme gimme gimme I need I need gimme gimme gimme. :) hahah *my prayer didn’t really go like that if you’re curious. They were a whole lot better :) Anyhoo Heavenly Father blessed me so I would be able to go out and work for the day!! So that was great :) Ya it was just a solid day :)

            Friday- Woke up and I was getting worse….. But I didn’t show it. Elder Dowdle was like mate you sound like _____ fill in the blank >:) hahah Did you guys put in a naughty word? I knew you would…. You should go repent or something. All he said was mate you sound like rubbish. So shame on you guys! Hahah :) But ya just went out and tried to find families!!! That’s all we focus on now. Family. Family. Family. Didn’t find any. But man were we close :) :)

Saturday- Woke up and Oh boy…. I was thinking to myself this is not good. I feel terrible. But I told myself I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful. :) Because if you tell yourself that you feel better than you really do you end up feeling better, so I tried it and it worked :) But we had football in the morning with members and that was quite fun :) And the whole time it was raining like cats and dogs! It was ridiculous!  It actually rained the whole day! And at one point it even started to hail…. That was quite an experience… Tracting while it was hailing :)  That’s what I call good solid missionary work. Hahah  We went to Baldock again and found a family!! Our Hard work paid off :)

Sunday- Every morning we stand outside and greet people and when we got to sister Hopwood she said something quite interesting, I said how ya doing sis. Hopwood? And She said, “Are you feeling alright, cuz you look terrible.” And then she went inside. And I looked at Elder Dowdle and I said do I really look that bad? And he said mate, you have looked this bad the whole week…. So throughout church my sickness started to get worse and pretty soon I had this terrible head ache, my body ached and everything was hurting. So after church we went back to the flat and I took a nap. So I went to bed at 3 and woke up at 8! Holy moly! I slept forever, but when I woke up I felt like a spring chicken :)

            This week was a solid week of missionary work. Our numbers weren’t the best, but we did find a few families we are going to teach this week and hopefully set a baptismal date for them. So pray for us :)

            I love you guys and I pray for you every morning and evening! Hope your week goes great!

I love you,

Keep Calm, and Carry on.

Elder Wright
