hello everyone,
Not much new in Draper. We had a couple really great experiences this last week, we havent been teaching very much, just because everyone is so busy. We have been able to find more investigators this week though, which will hopefully help us teach more lessons in the future. We decided to go tracting saturday afternoon which is usually not very productive, but we didnt have anything else to do. We knocked on this girls's door and she seemed sort of interested and told us to come back the next day. We needed someone to come with us, and we tried calling a couple people but nobody could come (mothers day). We happened to see this guy at church who lives in the same area as the appointment and asked him to come along. He came and it turns out they shared similar interests in horses, and she needed to find a place to keep her horse, and he happened to have an extra space available for her. It was amazing to see the small and simple things that can bring about great things. We will teach her again today and hopefully we can extend her a baptisimal date, but we might have to work on helping her get married to her boyfriend first before she can. She is very humble and willing to accept the gospel. One of my only experiences that I have had tracting, and it is such a blessing, especially when we needed more people to teach right now.
One of our other investigators actually told us during one of our lessons 'you know, i've been talking about baptism for a long time, and i think i should just stop talking about it and just do it' He's going to be baptized on the 29th! blessings to the max!
I love you all, happy mothers day

We decided to sacrifice all sweets and music
Hey everyone,
This week was a little jumbled around. It was getting close to 60 degrees at the beginning of the week but then right in the middle it decided cool way down and to dump 3 inches of snow on us. Hopefully it'll warm back up again but it is expected to snow again today. Elder Lundwall also came down with bronchitus, which slowed us down for a couple of days. I spent one day studying the bible dictionary. It's more fun than most give dictionaries credit for. Anywho, we were able to watch general conference at members homes. It was all AMAZING! I think my favorites were the first presidency's messages during the preiesthood session and also the focus on the Ressurrection during the Sunday morning session.
This week we also decided we need to put more people on date to be baptized, because right now not many people are progressing very well. I'm trying to work on our focus and our goals more. We decided to have a personal sacrifice this week so that we would be able to achieve the goals we set. We decided to sacrifice all sweets and music. It was tough getting through all of easter without any chocolate. Every 5 seconds people would offer us dessert or candy or something, but we perservered. We still have most of this week to get through... We'll see if we can make it. Elder Lundwall is having music withdrawals. Not much more to report. Oh, we decided to ride up to the Heughs Canyon ward in one of our stakes on Tuesday. Holy Cow! It's about 2 miles away from anything else in our area, and it's on the mountain side. And at the end it decides to just take off straight up the mountain. We're planning on going again sometime soon when Elder Lundwall is feeling a little better.
All is well,
Love you all,
Elder Wright
