Hello everyone! Not too much is different, but there have been a couple of interesting occurrences. For starters, my companion and I got some Five Guys burgers, so that's really cool. My family was in Utah this last week and there isn't a Five Guys nearby, so they decided to do something cool for us. The more interesting thing, though, is that I got to see my former bishop! It was really cool to see him after over a year, and I'm glad to hear that he's doing well. Also, I got to see none other than the prophet ... sort of. You see, my companion and I had to work at the FHL (Family History Library) on Sunday, so we went to another ward to take the sacrament, and it turns out the ward we went to had Pres. Nelson in attendance. No, I didn't interact with him at all, but it was still cool to be there. Other than that, not much else is new. I hope you all have an amazing week and remember to keep the spirit with you!
Till Then,
Elder Wright
From mom: just to clarify-we kept all of the mission rules and didn't see Elder Wright. We just dropped off his food at the mission office.
He also told us about his Fourth of July when we chatted. The church offices and libraries were closed so he had the day off. He was able to hang out with the other missionaries and played some games. That night all of the young elders in the mission gathered at their nearby church to watch the movie Hidden Figures.
He said that on Sunday he and his companion went to the chapel for a sacrament meeting different than their usual one because they had to spend time working at the Family History Library. They sat down and looked up on the stand and there was Pres. Nelson. Pres. Nelson didn't speak, but it was announced that he was presiding at the meeting. We're guessing that it was Pres. Nelson's home ward because other young elders have seen him there before too.
President Russell M. Nelson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
