bishop Broke his Wrist

            Dear Mum,

Oki Dokie folks…. This is a quick rap for ya

Elder Wright, yup that’s me, The L.G.C. is the place for me.

We got black squirrels and the first round about,

In fact, I could never do without,

We don’t teach very many people every day…… but heeeey,

I go tracting every single day.  

Elder Dowdle and I are two peas in a pod,

And we even eat at…. “Oh my Cod”

This is the weekly report form the L.G.C.

Elder Wright is out, until next weeeeeek.

Hahahaha Just thought I should throw that in there to spice up my letter, because they can get a bit boring so I hope you liked it :) I mean you better! Cuz that was flippin good :) LOLZ haha

 

 It sounds like everybody is really busy at home! Which is great, because then it makes the time go by faster :) Mum, that’s smashing (good word to use huh? :)) that you are getting moved in and are starting to work!!! Point 4 you. Oh by the way we need to start keeping track of points so if you want to do a little tally that would be great >:) hahah But that work out that you guys do?..... That’s insane!! Whoa! You guys are really dedicated!! I thought waking up at 6:29 (not at 6:30 because we are diligent missionaries so we wake up earlier) was bad but 5??!!! Holy moly that’s ridiculous. Point4you3 :)

            My week this week, was a typical mission week nothing too exciting but there are a couple stories that I will share with you that are quite an experience. :) So we go to Mutual every Tuesday night and this Mutual was quite eventful. So they shared a little spiritual thought and whatever else they do and then we went and played bench ball!!! I would try explaining how to play, but im not very good at explaining it, I have tried to explain it 3 times already and it just never made sense so I erased it >:) But anyhoo… during the game you have to stand on a bench, that’s all you really have to know for bench ball. So just have that in your mind. So we were playing and we won our first game! Point4me :) And because we won our first game that meant we were in the championship game!!! So championship game, it’s neck and neck, possession is going back and forth, we get a point, they get a point, we just can’t pull away!! Then we get a substitute…. Bishop. Oh yaaa If there is one person who knows how to win a game of bench ball it’s Bishop. :) So bishop is on the bench and we throw him the ball and when we throw him the ball he slips off the bench and falls flat on the floor! But Bishop he isn’t the smallest guy by any means…. So when he fell off he had a lot of force coming down with him. Hahaha :) And when he fell…… he broke his wrist!!!! In 5 places!!!! Whaaaaattt!!! The ref (Young men advisor) calls the game right there and says to go home. I was kinda mad, because I wanted to win the championship game!! But Bishop had to break his wrist…. Crazy bishop. :) :) :) hahahahah yup so that was my crazy story for the week :) pretty funny eh?

The rest of the week we were going out and trying to find families to teach!! We are coming up with some pretty fun ideas other than tracting to find people. For example we went football finding! And that is when we just play football for 2-3 hours and play pick up games and such. So that’s quite fun :) We even got a few appointments out of that so that’s a win-win right there. Play football and do missionary work :) Poit4me. >:) We are going to try to hold a Hot chocolate night sometime this week in our flat complex so we can get to know our neighbours and such, so that should be quite good :) But my main idea that I came up with. Oooo it is sooo posh! So we (the England London Mission) hold a football tournament in Hyde Park in the summer!!! I told President about it and he seems pretty keen on it so we are going to try to throw that together and hopefully it works out. The winner would get premier league tickets, and we would advertise it with flyers in the tube’s, in sports stores just everywhere!!! And it would be 40 pounds to enter and when you enter you get a t-shirt, water bottle, and a jaw string bag :) And all of those accessories have Mormon.org things on them. :) Pretty posh huh. :) Presdient told me to e-mail him all the dete’s today and then he will call me. So I gotta make this e-mail really posh so he thinks the idea is good enough :) So ya I have to e-mail him now. Sorry but I got no time left.

Just know that everything over here is absolutely perfect. I couldn’t want anything more. I love every second of it. I know I say that every letter home but I truly do. There is nothing that compares to watching somebody change and accept the gospel :) A mission has really strengthened my testimony and I just hope that somehow and in some way my testimony will make a difference to somebody :)

I love you guys! I wish words could described how much I love you. You are perfect. Don’t change…. Well maybe you should change in some ways… but that’s up to you to decide >:) hahah Keep on keeping on. I love you to bits.

Love,

Elder Wright

P.S. I played golf today on a par 3 course…. It was so much fun :)

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

 

Christmas Every single Day!!

My Fam,

            Can it just be Christmas every single day? Hahaha Like holy crap! That was soooo nice to be able to talk to you and see you!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) When I saw that you were calling, I got so nervous all of a sudden… My heart was going so fast. Oh so fast. (caleb’s voice) haha I think my heart pooped when I saw you guys! Hahaha Nobody has changed. Go figure. It’s only been 3 months. Haha Only 3 months?! Looking back it seems like forever, but it’s gone by so fast! It doesn’t exactly make sense to me. :) LOL But I can tell you somebody who did change, KEO!! What the ______ <- fill in the blank. Hehe she is so big! And that was so cute when she was staring at the screen and trying to figure out where I was and such. :) ha I loved it. That was by far the best Christmas present!! I can’t wait for Mother’s day! :) or maybe I can get special permission to Skype you guys like once a month or something… Cuz that would be pretty cool :) But it seemed like everybody was doing well :) So that makes me happy!! Did you like my accent? You already told me you did, but it’s pretty fun huh :) But the question that has been really nagging me is…. . . . . . Did you like my butt??? Hahahahah It’s so BIG!!!! :) Like who could have thought that Dayton Wright could get somewhat of a butt? Cause I know I didn’t think I could :) LOL Ya Christmas was perfect.

            So Boxing Day, :) I bought a few things I’ll attatch some pics for you guys to see but I’m not going to talk about the shopping too much, because it wasn’t that special. But what was really special is the fact that I got to watch TANGLED :) :) :) :) (: (: Oh that made my day!!! Haha Im such a little girl. But ya that was really nice to watch. I also watched Monster’s University, a football game, and the Incredibles. :)I tried to persuade President Jordan to allow me to watch What About Bob but he didn’t consider that a “Christmas Classic” so that kinda stinks… But I still feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful :)

            MAJOR NEWS. THIS JUST IN. (not really) but I got a new companion on Friday!!! And he is a complete stud :) I thought I liked my other companions before… Elder Dowdle puts these other guys to shame!! (: (: We are so much alike. We have roughly the same personality, we are both really good at talking to people and we have a lot of fun together :) You are probably wondering where this Elder is form, but before I tell you, you have to take a guess. . . . . have you guessed yet? . . . . . . Seriously. I’m not telling you till you take a guess. . . . . (: Sooo He is from Boise, Idaho. (Where’s a map?) :) He is about 6’2 and he is a ginger! Hahahahaha LOLZ. :) Sorry marae no offence, but it’s just fun to make fun of ginger’s. There isn’t anything wrong with “them” it’s just that they don’t have a soul…. >:) But you guys could get married if you wanted to, cuz you are both ginger’s so maybe cuz you both don’t have a soul, Your kids would….. IDK. Reverse Psychology?? it might just work. Hahaha :) Anyhoo, So Elder Dowdle and I have set some goals for this transfer of what we want to accomplish and I think you guys should know what those are. So here you go. We want to find and baptise 3 people, (preferably a family) become a proper British person, (which means we always talk in a British accent and try to act like the British) and to get stacked in the morning!! :) Because I really want to increase the size of my booty. That way people can call me big booty hoe. Hahahahah Wow. I am in a weird mood. I will regret saying these things. But YOLO. :) haha Elder Dowdle and I are going to have a great transfer!! I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish :) Oh. We also are going to get our British licenses this transfer. That way we can drive in the mission :) (Just a little side fact, if I get my British license my insurance in the states will be much cheaper, so sending me on a mission will actually in the long run save you money :) ) But ya that’s Elder Dowdle. 6’2. Boise Idaho. Been out for 7 months. Ginger. >:) I really like him :)

            Ya that’s my life right now. It’s going great! I love everything about my mission. It’s crazy it’s 2014 tomorrow. Guess what?! 2014 is the only year I have to serve the entire year on my mission. So pretty much after 2014 is over, I’m coming home  :) I’m almost done with my mission…. Hahah :) I love you guys and I can’t wait to hear from y’all next week.

Love,

Elder Wright

PS. Yes I skyped spencer :)

Okay where to start…?????.... Hmmm…. Well those pictures that dad sent… Oh my days!! KEO is freakin MASSIVE!! What the Heck? How is she so big?? I thought you said she wasn’t going to grow anymore? Hahaha Uhhh you were wrong. LOL :) Shanae, What can I say? You looked greatfor the dance, Alex Barrowes is one lucky guy! (Is that who you went with? I hope I got his name right. Ha) You were absolutely stunning. #canyousayhawtshawtyindahouse!! Zandy… You didn’t look too bad either :) ha im sorry I called you zandy it’s just a habit. Hehe Oh just a random thought I am sending you guys Christmas presents. It’s not much at all. Seriously. It’s like a letter and something else. So don’t get your hopes up. I would send you a lot of things but first of all, I am waiting to buy things during the world cup to send home :) and it is also 100 dollars to send anything over 1 pound to the states sooo…. Ya. But be looking for that sometime next week :) Merry Christmas!

 

Alright time for some reeeall good letter writing :) Are you ready for this dun dun dun dun duh duh duh dun dun duh duh duh da da

 

Sunday: Best Sunday Yet!! So first we took the train to church and that is always extremely fun :) and we sat with a member that crashed her car on Satruday which sucks and she sayd its all our  fault because every time we come to their home for dinner something dramatic happens to them. For example the first time we met them about 30 minutes after we left she started into labor. The second time we met with them their baby got extremely ill and almost died. But don’t worry mate the baby is doing just fine now. And them last time we came her husband crashed the car!!! Like what the heck? I thought you were supposed to be blessed if you have the missionaries in your home? Well… I guess that’s a false statement. But anyways back to our Sunday. Instead of going into priesthood with the Young Men we went into primary to help out with the Nativity play :) :) :) Hahahahah it was so much fun they are performing it this coming week in Sacrament so let’s hope they have one of those kids that just go all out and either scream at the top of their lungs when they sing or just do something completely crazy like jump off the pulpit… sorry I’m in a really weird mood right now. After primary we went and taught youth Sunday school (14-18 years old) and taught them how they can become better leaders. That went over pretty well :) Then I spoke in Sacrament meeting on The Gift of a Saviour. And everybody said I did really well :) but I kinda cheated because I just let the spirit do the work that was my secret. Hahah Then after sacrament meeting was over I Baptised Aimee Jaszewski :) :) :) :) :) :) :) WEHU!!! Baptising someone is the best feeling in the world. Seriously. It’s absolutely amazing. But that was my Sabbath. My Sabbath day was better than yours. dang right. It’s better than yours. I could teach ya but I would have to charge :) ha

 

Next great experience this week. I believe it was on Thrusday night and I was going to go teach a single lady with one of our young men named Jack Cornish. We get to the appointment and she wasn’t home. Big shocker there. (say it in a sarcastic voice) So instead of just saying alright you can go home. I said let’s go tracting :) So that’s what we did. And it went over so well :) Out of 10 doors we received 5 New appointments :) :) :) :) :) 5? That’s unheard of. You get 5 in about 2 days. But not when you are tracting with Elder Wright. Uh uh no way. I run on complete faith and just hope and pray that somehow I say the right thing. Hahah And it seems to work out pretty well! Haha it was so amazing :)

 

So dam family… wait is it fam damily? Hmm whatever I’ll go with dam family heheh :)

 I have to go. But don’t worry. I will talk to you soon. :) I love you!! And I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN 9 DAYZZZZ :) :) :)

Much Love,

Elder Wright

 

24 Days tell we See Each Other

Dear Mum,

            It sounds like everything is going great at home!! You guys are so lucky that you were able to go skiing! What the heck?! Is it that time already? Haha I kinda hope and pray that this ski season will be rubbish that way I won’t be mad that I missed this ski season. :) :) :) Hahahah Jk LOL but seriously. Ha That is so awesome that Roque is taking the discussions with his family. Point for you guys. Haha Quick question can you tell Caleb to freakin write me!!!??? I miss that kid to death and I want to hear from him :) :)

            So this week… Hmm it was really good. It seems like yesterday I was writing you guys. And now here I am again writing you guys. I love that the weeks go by so fast!! :) But some days go by sooo slow. Wow like super slow. But whatever. It’s just part of my life now. Ha :) So here is a recap of my week.

Monday- After writing you we went and played football with the district which is SO much fun! :) I about die every time we play! And then afterwards I played basketball against this chav (council house and violence) kid. Who is 18 and he plays for a college team over here. He is 6’7 and about 180. He is a stick. Hahah It was a really good game. He was a little bit upset cuz this little American white boy beat him on his home court. Haha :)

Tuesday- I woke up on Tuesday and felt sick. Not deathly ill. Just a really bad stomach ache and a head ache. It was so awful. So I tried going to work but I wasn’t doin the best so we came home for lunch I said a 20 minute prayer or so then when I was done with the prayer I felt so much better!! :) The power of prayer! :) IT WORKS! Haha so that night Elder Carder and I were messing around playing some football and I was recording him trying to juggle and out of nowhere he just slapped my camera out of my hand and broke it!! Oh I was so PISSED!!! I about killed him. But I just sat down and tried to fix it for about a half hour or so… and then he came in and said, “I’m sorry, but in the eternal scheme it won’t really matter.” Like what the heck!? Who says that? Oh that made me so mad. So I am buying another camera today. But I will try to send pictures today somehow… Oh and then on top of breaking my camera, on Monday he deleted all of my pictures from the baptism off of my camera somehow and he lost my beanie. AHHHGHGHGHHH What the heck!! Who is this Welsh kid? Whatever. It’s over with. So that sucks.

Wednesday- :) Wednesday was a good day :) We went and played 5 A side. Which is just 5 on 5 in a little gym!! It was so much fun! This game was so intense. I think I was in heaven for an hour. Ha but what the best part was… so there were non-members and members and all of the members were pushing, swearing, and cheating. And all of the non-members were playing fair and using good to moderate language. Hahah It was so funny!!! I know that’s really bad to say, but I just thought it was really funny to see, watch, and hear :) :) PS I did not partake in one of those mannerisms that the members were doing. I’ll let you decide which one that was. Heheh >:)

Thursday- THANKSGIVING!! I went on an exchange with the district leader and went to an American house hold to have thanksgiving :) it was so nice to have a somewhat traditional Thanksgiving dinner. :)

Friday- Normal Day on the Mission :) Yup. That’s about it.

Saturday- We committed a 9 year old to baptism on the 14^th of November :) And we also visited the Berry family. Who we tracted into and we asked them to be baptised and they said YES!!! :):) :) But we forgot to give them a specific date. So we are going to see them on Wednesday so pray for them that Satan hasn’t tempted them too much :) haha

Sunday- Church. And Tracted.

 

 

I’m doing great you guys!! Missions are so amazing! Every time I meet somebody who doesn’t want to hear our message I think, Man I am so sorry, cuz this will change your life. Real quick just stop and think about this Plan….. Are you thinking about it……. Isn’t it amazing?? Oh doesn’t it make you so happy!! :) :) :) What a blessing we have to know where we are going, why we are here, and where we came from, and that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally!! :) :) WEHU! Church is true!

 

I love you guys keep strong and carry on :)

Love,

Elder Wright
