Mom: I was excited to see this picture on the mission Facebook page today. It was taken last Wednesday at the Family History Department Devotional. These are the young Elders of the Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission.
Okay, now onto the title topic. Last Wednesday, the Family History Department got to have a Christmas devotional that was presided by Elder Renlund. My companion got there a little bit early, not early enough to realize that an apostle would be there. So anyway, we got to our seats, and this guy is going around the young elders and shaking our hands. People shake our hands all the time, so I didn't think too much of it, but after he walked away, an elder who was sitting by me said that that was really interesting. I asked him why, and he told me that we just got to shake hands with Elder Renlund! I didn't realize it was him when he shook my hand!! That was really weird, but at the same time I think it's kind of funny looking back. I guess I can mark myself down for shaking hands with 2 members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the 12. Well, that's all I really have to say. Hope you all have a great week and remember that Christmas time is a great time to give service!! Talk to you later!!!
Till then,
Elder Wright
Elder Wright also wrote to his dad and me that he has been taking a break from the AGES project recently, but he will start doing that again soon. He said, "I mainly just needed a break from it since I did a lot on it." And, "I have no clue how to pronounce any of the Chinese symbols nor do I know what they mean, so I just give them nicknames like 'tree house' or 'guy with swords.'"
He also told us that he sees the Light The World machines in SLC regularly. He was excited to hear about the machines here in Gilbert and wanted to know if our family had been there to donate yet. We plan to go this weekend. He told us we should donate a goat!
We also got this letter in the mail on Monday. We are so blessed that Elder Wright has these opportunities to serve!
