"Because 7-11"
Hello and happy Monday
friends and family. I hope you all have enjoyed your free small Slurpee from
7-11. I saw they have a Birthday Cake favored Slurpee for the fiftieth
celebration so if that is something that interests you, go for it. I got the
Sour Patch Kids Redberry Slurpee and it freakishly tastes just like a Sour
Patch Kid. 10 points to 7-11.
Anyway, I did do missionary things this
last week. And I did good missionary things like service, and then getting
featured in a local newspaper for service. And met the mission president. And
played softball. So, ultimately, a fairly interesting week.
Last week on Monday after emails and
grocery shopping Sister Ritchie and I did some fun shopping at Mardens. For all
you non-Mainers, you are missing out, Mardens is the coolest and best for
cheap, nice clothes. I got three tops that all work pretty well for
missionarying. I'm sure you all care. What's more important is I got to play
softball a bit with a member family and I was so happy. I haven't thrown a ball
around in a year (since the MTC) and it was nice to just play around a bit.
Great way to celebrate America!
Tuesday we started the day with service
for Heart of Biddeford where they had us go and water the flowers in Downtown
Biddeford again. Sister Ritchie didn't hurt herself but a man from the Journal
Tribune was walking around and saw us and came over, and told us "I was
told to go find interesting things around town and this is interesting."
No kidding, its two girls in skirts with a giant wagon of a water contraption.
Totally interesting. So we explained who we are, what we were doing, and
assumed he'd find something cooler by the end of the day. Flash forward to
Thursday, we are out tracting and we invite this one lady who isn't interested
but does a double take and goes "I think I saw you on the newspaper".
Huh? So she goes in, pulls out a newspaper, and there we are, front page, color
photo. Us. It was crazy! And then on Saturday the pastor of the church where we
do service put the photo on the bulletin board. So yeah, we are popular. What's
craziest is it happened an exact year after I met Stephanie Nielson. So July 5
is the day for Sister Wright to be famous I guess.
On Thursday we met President Blair and
he is awesome. He worked for Nestle Purina and his personality is so energetic
that I really want to call him Willy Wonka. He brought us chocolate and
everything. He also came to Saco Ward as the first ward in his trip to see all
the wards. The ward really enjoyed him and his family too. So good times.
Sorry this week is kinda sparse. Zone
P-Day kinda wore me out but it's been fun playing ultimate frisbee at the
Portland Headlight. Still working on finding people to teach but tis the season
really. I hope you all have a good upcoming week and love and miss you all!
Love,
Sister Wright
