Week 71: Block Party & Birthday - June 18, 2019


I'm forever thankful to my awesome cousin Rachel who delivered a birthday cake, ice cream, and candy to Elder Wright's mission office!

Hello friends and family! Okay, so on Saturday the FHL (Family History Library) hosted a block party that took place on the west side of Temple Square, so you know what that means, right? It means that I had to help out with all of that craziness! It wasn't that bad, actually, mainly because I got to help out with the scavenger hunt thing that we were doing. My companion and I were the ones responsible with watching the lockers that held the final post card for the hunts and help out with the patrons if they are having trouble with finding the combination. It was really exhausting because we were standing the entire time, but in all it was very enjoyable.

As for other things, yesterday was my birthday! I'm now 21 years old, and I'm so glad that I got to celebrate it, since I almost wasn't able to because I thought I would be working all day that day! I had a wonderful time playing games with other elders and having wonderful cake and ice cream that evening. Shout out to all my friends and family who helped with getting the gifts to me, by the way. Anyways, I had a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to the times to come. All the young elders here will be going to Manti on Saturday to do a session at the temple and to see the Manti pageant one last time before they stop doing it. I hope you remember all the wonderful blessing that God has given you! Have a fantastic week!

Till Then,
Elder Wright

PS: Also cool, Kraig and I got to talk to Elder Wright via video chat at the Rome airport for Father's Day. Technology is such a blessing!
