I am well happy right now!! Oh my days!! I just love p-day e-mails! :) :) So the Wright Family reunion sounds gr8, everybody said it wasn't the same without me... Im sorry. Mal mal said something really positive though, she said"at least you will be at the next one." :) And how true that is! I can't wait to be reunited as a "Wright" Family and shake a tail feather or two :) Elder Harding and I were totes jealous about you lot going to Jackson Hole though. But we stayed strong and got to work despite our jealousy. :)
I don't really know exactly where to start or what to say so from here on out it is just strictly my thoughts and what I am thinking at this exact moment. >:) hehe So todya for P-day we went to Stevenage and played a bit of football and touch Rugby. And can I jsut say I wish rugby was bigger in the states! It is so much fun! Ugh. I love it! The weather has been well nice for the past 4 weeks or so. Been about 80-85 degrees and sunny so I am sappy. They are saying this week we are supposed to get a "heat wave" and it is supposed to hit 100 degrees!!! But you know how weather men are... They say we are supposed to have "2 feet of snow" but it snows 2 inches... So don't know if I believe them, but I shall let you know next week if I remember. >:)
We have a recent convert from Spain who taught us how to pray in Espanol! So thats pretty legit :) We teach her english and she teaches us spanish, because she needs help with her English to get a job. So we are trying our best to help her and in return we get a bit as well. Elder Harding doesn't like doing it, but I think it will be so effective when we meet somebody from spain and can just talk the gospel in some spanish and then pray with them in spanish they would be like, "This Church must be true! This little white kid just had the interpretation of tongues!! :) " haha
The "Luton" District could be doing a whole lot better. The other Elders just don't seem like they are living up to their potential, so we will see if we can't change that over the next three weeks. haha
Random side tid bit, Caleb you are looking "swoll" if they still use that term over there... IDK but ya you are looking good mate! Keep it up :)
We found some solid people this week!! Yesterday we were fasting as a mission to get 50 baptisms this next month, and Elder Harding and I were fasting to find somebody to put on date this week. So last night we decided to tract for a few more minutes before we went and had dinner at 8 o clock and the last door we knocked on was "the one" :) Her name is Bebhen (pronounced beb-hen haha) She opened the door and said that she was a practicing Christian from Ireland, but Elder Harding and I weren't bothered so we just started teaching her the Restoration and she was very receptive to us and we are seeing her tonight with a RM from the Manchester Mission!! :) And we will extend a date to her for the 30th of August! :) We as a companionship are hoping and praying that we baptise 3 people this month and with it being a 5 weekend month it is most definitely possible :) So we are well excited for her! The next lady is named Suzanna. She is from Portugal (so maybe our Spanish will come in use... huh ;) ) and we knocked on her door she came out and said, "when you knowcked I knew it was you guys. You are a sign from God." And we were stunned! So we agreed with her and said, "Yes we are that sign that you were looking for, when can we meet with you?" So we are seeing her on Saturday with that RM. :) :) She probably won't get baptised till the winter, because she works 9 straight days then has a day off. And in order to get baptised you need to come to Church 3 times.... And during the winter she has three days off a week, so ya winter time is a good time! We might set a date for her in December... Who knows :) :)
So that was my life this week. Went on another exchange with Elder Davis, from American Fork. I asked if he know the Belnaps, but he said no... so that's that. I love going on exchanges though!!! YOu get to know the missionaries so much better and the week seems to fly by when you do it :) Oh Interviews are this week!! Which is when you get to talk to President Jordan by yourself for about 10 minutes. This is critical time as a missionary.... You get ten minutes with President Jordan and for some reason everytime I get talking to him I forget what I wanted to talk about... I always come out a bit gutted but anytime spent with Prezzy J is good enough with me :) #Igetwellnervous haha
But that is lyfe in Elda Wright's life. Going strong! Loving life, cannot get any better. Love it to bits :) : )<3 I just hope and pray that you lot get on as well as I do :)
Love ya like no other! Just to let you know, the Christmas card and a select few other pictures are hanging in my flat. That way I can see you beautiful faces everyday :) :)
Love,
Elder Dayton Wright <3
