Elder Wright didn't send any pictures this week (again!) but he did send us a little video tour of his apartment. I was able to take a couple of screenshots!
Hello,
my friends and family. So, if you are a regular user of Family Search, you
would know that the persons page on that site has changed its layout recently.
Why am I bringing this up in my weekly email? It's because my zone is the one
having to deal with all the complaints about it! Seriously, you would think
that a small change wouldn't warrant such a response from people, but evidently
the people who use the site all day every day think that this is a huge
problem. On the plus side, though, it has given me more cases to work on. They
are really easy cases to do, as well. All I have to do is label the case as
feedback and close it without having to answer their question, because they
have no question to begin with. I'm mainly bring this up since we haven't
really had anything else happen that is more interesting. In all, it's not that
big of a deal, it's just something that comes with this zone. I'm just glad
that it has given me more work to do.
One thing I would like
to bring up is that I have recently been studying the blessings that the 12
Tribes of Israel, and it's really interesting to learn about. For any of the
youth that are reading this email (which I doubt is many), I would suggest
reading and learning about those blessing before and after you receive your
patriarchal blessing, because the blessings that the 12 tribes received will
also be given to you. Also, if that's not interesting enough, it's also kind of
like reading a young adult novel where there are different groups that you can
be a part of and each one has an interesting trait/job.
Please make sure to
ask me any questions you have about my mission. This especially goes out to the
people in my home ward, since I'm really interested to hear what you guys want
to know about this mission, because who knows, maybe one of your kids will be
called here someday. Have a great week and remember to study the scriptures!
Till next week,
Elder Wright
I (Mom) was lucky enough to be able to email "chat" with
Elder Wright a little bit. I found out a few other interesting things besides
what is in his "mass email."
"For Labor Day, we did the same thing that we did for the 4th
of July, in that we went to the state capital. The main thing that everyone was
looking forward to was that we were going to be watching the second part of The
Work and The Glory, which was pretty fun. I can't wait to see the third
part."
"I did see some people going to Comic Con last week. Noting
too interesting, just mainly what you would expect: A guy dressed up like Mr.
Rogers, other people dressed in normal clothes, and girls dressed up as super
heroes."
"We have only had 1 district meeting so far, and that was on
Labor Day, so I just held it at my apartment, had everyone wear a tie (we are
supposed to wear full missionary attire for district meeting, but it was a
holiday so we wore ties as a compromise), had everyone give a little bit of
info about themselves so that we could get to know each other, and then I gave
a short lesson about how the 10 plagues of Egypt were meant to mock the
Egyptian gods. It was fairly brief and really fun."
"If we do have a service project, it's usually on Friday, but
there isn't one scheduled for this week. Thursday mornings there is usually a
leadership meeting for all the district leaders. On Monday mornings we have the
Morning Devotional in the chapel (of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building) and
then training at zone. Classes aren't always the same day as p-day, that's just
what has been happening with me lately. The main questions that we get (in Data
Services) are 110 year requests, help with getting into accounts, and helping
people if they have other types of questions. Usually we know how to help them,
but every once in a while we get something that we can't help with, so we
escalate it."
