LGC Love this place

Dear Family,

    Before I start another wonderful letter from the LGC, I just want to say how happy I am!!! I was listening to this talk from good ol Jeffers. (Jeffery R. Holland) and it was talking about how lucky we are to have the people we have in our lives. And I couldn't agree more! I am so blessed to have you in my life! It's really tough to explain how much you mean to me, how much I look up to you, and how much I LOVE YOU!! <3 The Wright's >>>> I mean you got Dad, who shows how much he loves you by how much he makes you work.... (He must reeeaaally love me) JK LOL Dad has taught me a lot of things but I can't share those things, because too personal, and I already shared them with him :) #itsanicesummerday,howaboutweweedthewholebackyard. Thengotothewarehouseandpaintthefloors  You got Mum, who does all of the dirty work, like make us breakfast, lunch and dinner and just puts up with the lil rug rats. hahah I honestly don't know how she does it... It must be tough being a Mum. I guess that's why I am a male :) #Letsbehonest, Mumisanangelsentfromabove Then you got good ol Marae, who doesn't have a sole... >:) But it's kinda weird because I feel like she does... hahaha ya honestly Marae is the best big sister you could ask for!! I mean she gave me sooo many pointers on girl stuff. Ugh. Why did I just say that...  Awka Awkard. :) #gingy4lyfe #Bigsisisnotamrs...yet. Then you got Shananu, who is a stud at football, sarcasm, and making anybody's day. Aint that the truth. ha I remember I would always try to stay mad at Shanae and she would just keep bugging me in a certain way where I couldn't help but laugh, then I wasn't mad anymore!! :) #Don'tgetmad,getglad #my anger management classes piss me off!!! haha :) :) :) Then you have me.... And all you need to know is that I am in England. ha yup :) I feel like those were pretty accurate don't you?? hahah I bet all of you are laughing because those are SO beyond accurate it's funny!!! :) My days, I wish I could just see you laughing right now :) :)

 

Okay lets get down to the details!

 

    Sooo its my birthday on Saturday.... Like what the haaiiill?? hahaha Im turning 19 in case you forget *cough cough G'ma and G'pa >:) heheh But flip mate! I went on a Zone work over on Thursday, which is just when you switch companions for 24 hours so you can learn new things and try to apply it into your missionary life, and we went to this house to eat and the members there were like "So, how old are you? 14?" And I said, "Yes, but I turn 15 on Saturday" :) But I was like daaayyuung I need to grow up! haha I look so young right now!! But apparently I will appreciate it in the long run... IDK? haha

 

    The LGC is pretty much the same. Ria is getting baptised this coming Sunday! We are going over her baptismal programme on Tuesday so that should be good :) If I havent told you this before, let me tell you again. Ria is amazing!! I mean she comes to every Mutual and Sacrament and brings at least two friends to each one!!! And they aren't always the same friends either, they are different ones. And another plus is that she has already invited 10 friends to her baptism!! Ten Friends!! WEHU! Point for the kids! :) So Elder Dowdle and I are going to try our best by trying to teach Ria's friends so they can all be baptised! That way Ria won't have to change her friends, the gospel will change her friends!! It's a win win for everybody :) haha Wish us luck :)

One major difference this week was the fact that it felt like spring time :) It was about 10 or 11 degrees (Celsius) which felt unbelievably good and I think that winter is now officially over! But you never know in the LGC the weather can turn on you soo fast, Oh so fast! (Calebs Voice) haha So this is kind off topic, but we played football on Wednesday with the EQP and his mate's and my days!! It was such a good match :) So it was 5 on 6 and the teams were Me, Elder Dowdle, the EQP, Kyle (20 year old), and Steve (50 year old Bloke who thinks he is a pro.... He is trying to relive his glory days! :) ) haha so it was pretty much 4.5 on 6 because Elder Dowdle only counts as a half. heheha Don't tell him I told you that, but oofff, what a game!!! We actually pulled off the victory!! Being down 1.5 players >:) hehe And that has never happened so point for us! #USA So ya. Big gulps huh? Alright, see ya later :)

    

   There isn't much else to say, Im sorry. Wait, hold up! I almost forgot!! So last night we went to a Church of England service and it was so different. Like everything was really nice, but for some odd reason i felt empty. And that emptiness was the spirit! I couldn't feel the spirit!! I tried so hard to feel it! But i just couldn't! IT made me so mad!! I feel kinda biased by saying that, because I bet people can feel the spirit there. But for some reason, personally, I just couldn't. So the lesson that I learned from that is.... the church is true!! hahah It was a good experince though, because everybody was coming up to us and making us feel welcomed, and even at one point they made us some hot chocolate!! hahah I personally feel as if they were trying to score two new converts but that would never happen.... So at least we got some free hot chocolate out of it :)

 

Yup that's about it... I know you are probably like what the heck do you do during the day? Who do you teach? And blah blah blah blah blah. But there isn't much to say, because all the days are roughly the same, to be honest, we don't teach a whole lot of people. We are trying to change , but that can't just happen over night! It takes some time unfortunately... haha But just know that your son is obedient. I don't muck around in the LGC. Yes I have fun, but I am trying my very hardest to do what is right and follow the spirit! And all of you should try to do the same :) Be Obedient!! Follow the commandments!! And watch the blessings come your way :)

I love you,

Love,

Elder Wright

 

Dang. That was the best e-mail in a while :) #yourewelcome ;)

 

YES February

      Dear Mum,

Hey I am glad to hear that everybody is doing good :) I got some big news.... Elder Dowdle and I are going........ to STAY in LETCHWORTH!!! :) :) :) :) WEHU!!! We are going to baptise so many people this transfer!! hahah :) But talking about baptisms let me tell you a quick story :) 

So we are teaching this family, Kerry, Mia, and Ashlinn. And our first lesson went really well with them, so our second appointment we were going to give them a baptismal date... Oof this is big stuff!! You can't mess this up, cuz if you mess this up, you are messing up their salvation. And you don't want that on your shoulders. So lots of pressure building up to this appointment. hahah :) But don't worry we had a posh lesson planned out. We were doing the second half of lesson one which is the great apostasy and Joseph Smith. So we taught for a bit and then we watched the Restoration DVD and afterwards we had the member that came with us, Sis. Barry AKA the relief society president, bare her testimony about the church and Joseph Smith, and that was ooo soo good :) Then I, Elder Wright, started to bare mine and i don't really even remember what I said, all i remember is I said something about Kalena and how this gospel will strengthen the family even in troubling times, and some other things... I really can't remember. It was all directed by the spirit :) hahah But JSerious. It was. At the end of my testimony I asked them to prepare to baptised on March 2nd and they said....................... They weren't ready. Ugh. But have no fear, we prepared for that answer so Elder Dowdle stepped in and said some amazing things and now they are preparing for baptsim on March 2nd :) WEHU WEHU!!! Go US!! Point for us??? I think yes :) 

Another good story. Well we are teaching this girl named Ria, she is 14 years old, and the daughter of a less active member. She is golden. She prays, comes to Mutual, come to church, just everything you want her to do she will do it :) SO tonight we are asking her to be baptised on march 2nd also. Not because it's convenient for us but we prayed what date would be best and we thought this date was the right date. SO we are going to do that tonight. But the member that was supposed to come with us just cancelled!!! UGH!! Now we are calling everybody we know in the freakin ward list and nobody can come!!! AHAHAHAH Stupid satan!! he's just jealous. Like what the heck. Just let people be happy :) hahah What a rude bloke.  

Hmmm, Well I really have got to go to this appointment. Im terribly sorry. I wish i could e-mail you a huge long letter of everything i did... But i don't have time. I love you guys.The work is really going well in the LGC. Elder Dowdle is doing good. And me, I'm doing just fine. :) 

I love everybody!!! Have a wonderful week and just remember if you stay on the Lord's side of the line, good things will happen :) 

Love,

Elder Wright
