Sister Wright with a page from the Disney Calendar we sent her
Hello and happy P-Day friends and family! I hope everyone
has had a happy and warm week! Brewer has been good to us despite the blizzard
(and I'm not saying that as an Arizona girl who doesn't know winter, Sister
Daughety and I think it was a legitimate blizzard this last Saturday that we
had the pleasure to walk in and shovel). I actually wish I could have gotten
pictures but when you're on the Lord's time you don't have a lot of time to
take pictures so I will try to get better at taking pictures during lunch and
P-Day. But the Brewer Crew is definitely staying warm. Something that always
warms my heart is the mail and emails from you friends and family from home and
just, again, wanted to say thank you! Again, being on the Lord's time doesn't
give me a lot of time to write you all individually but know that I really
appreciate all the prayers and warm wishes. So without further ado, here is
week 14 of Sister Wright's adventures in Brewer!
Monday was pretty great because Sister Daughety and I
finally got the apartment clean from post-Christmas madness. Not that we had
decorations still up but all our new stuff was still cluttered around the
apartment. And with the apartment still being so new relative to other
missionary apartments we took time to organize things like the kitchen for
future sisters so that was good.
We were warned Monday that Tuesday evening we
would be hit with 6-12 inches of the white stuff. Tuesday our plans were we
were going to be out and about in Hampden (pronounced Ham-den, like pterodactyl
the P is silent) so we took lunch to eat where ever we could find a place to
park the car. We saw a sign for a community library that seemed like a good
place to rest. Sister Daughety almost died as we drove up the hill to the
library because it was so pretty. We think it was a really fancy house before
it was a library which was pretty rad. And that was pretty much our highlight
of that day. It was funny, with the oncoming storm all the locals were worried
and locked in for the night pretty early. Us missionaries were out at 8
pm watching this "storm" as it barley dusted our van. I think
it's more funny to see how casual I've become with snow. Instead of panicking
and cringe every time I see it come I just cringe and bundle up and face Jack
Frost.
Wednesday was District Meeting and the final one before
the worldwide missionary broadcast this Wednesday which I'm really excited
about. We did other missionary things during the week like teach people, visit
a member in the hospital, and shovel. Missionary work is definitely really
exciting when you have no idea what to expect, especially weather wise. But it
goes well, and it's weird how the cold actually softens people's hearts because
they feel bad for us. Oh Mainers.
I honestly don't know what else to write about this week.
Today actually marks 366 days (because leap year) until I come home! I can't
believe how quickly time has gone by. Its hard to believe I have been in Brewer
longer than I have been in Manchester, and total I have been on the mission for
six and half months. It has been the hardest but also happiest times ever to
teach people about the gospel and do that by growing my own testimony. And
Sister Daughety and I are having fun despite the cold weather neither of us are
used to. We also might not be friends Sunday because the AZ Cardinals are
playing the Carolina Panthers. We will keep you posted (but pray for the
Cardinals). Well, may we all continue to have a happy, warm, and safe week!
Love and miss you all!
Love,
Sister Wright
