Honestly I wanna see you be brave

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

Hey Ya'll! I'm Sister Morgan Rebecca Wright! This is my journey as I serve a eighteen month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints in the Alaska Anchorage Mission. This blog has my weekly emails and photos along with my contact information so that I can write and send letters and emails but also anyone can write me!

I will be in the Alaska Anchorage Mission. But Anchorage is the ONLY mission in Alaska... Which means my mission covers ALL of Alaska and the Ukon Territories of Canada! Right now I'm not sure where I'll be at in Alaska! I will know on August 4th when I fly to Alaska from the MTC in Provo Utah!

I am full of emotions! I am very excited, anxious, nervous, and scared! It's a new place and it's a new chapter of my life that I don't know the outcome! I'm mostly nervous because I'm from Georgia so I don't know what it's like to be cold and what snow really looks like! Although, I did go to college in Utah for a year but the snow and cold didn't count at all!! I also have never seen a bear or a moose before in the wild and I hear they are everywhere! So, it's pretty exciting but scary!

The things I'm looking forward to the most is seeing the Northern Lights if I am in a area where I can see them, I'm excited to see the land but most importantly I'm thrilled to share the message of Christ! There are so many people out in this world who don't know his name! I'm excited to share his name with the people I meet!

A dear friend of mine shared with me that the work never stops and that I was going to do great things in Alaska. I hope she was right.

#16monthstogo

I have been slacking, but here is Morgan's latest letter!
I MADE IT PASSED MY ONE MONTH MARK AND I KICKED BUTT!!!
So My week went like this:

Monday after Emailing we went to sports. I forgot my PDAY clothes such as my gym shorts so I played basketball in a skirt. I am the only sister who plays basketball, my companion sits on the stage and watches me. So after sorts we went to dinner to the Lee's. Sister Lee is so sweet! She is 28 and has two step kids who are 18 and 12 so yeah. It was really fun!! After We went to Sister Bagley's house because all of our other appointments fell through.

Tuesday We had a district meeting and then we went to do service at a women's shelter. That was really sad. After We went to see the Moslander, Humphrey family and the we went and ate dinner at the Anderson's. It was good but then we topped the day off and saw Jenny!! I love her!!! She is so real and open!! She's great!!! We watched The Joseph Smith Movie and her kids even watched it!! I love them!!

Wednesday We went to do Family History work. That was good. Then we went and saw Sister Armstrong, and had dinner at the Merrrills. She fed me 3 different types of fish!! It was lovely... 
After we went to the temple with Damien, Pamela and Brother Meade our ward mission leader. It was such a good lesson. We invited Damien to be baptized he is praying about it! SO PRAY PLEASE!! While we were at the temple we kinda went by ourselves and just talked and prayed. I was sitting by myself just saying a little prayer to myself asking for a miracle.. well then the phone rang... A girl named Brenna said," Hey, I want to be baptized and I want to take the lessons!"
I was in shock I was like "Okay!" Wednesday was good.

Thursday... We went to less active to less active. If you don't want to be apart of the church anymore please don't be a grown man and chase me with a wooden paddle board and please don't wave to me through the window as you don't let us in. I'll pray for you but please fix yourself. hahah!! That night we had dinner at the Porters and then we went to the Meade's. There are wonderful!! Brother Meade and Sister Meade always knows what to say!! It was nice.

Friday we went to track. We ran into a JW named Jenna who said come back anytime!! It was exciting!! after we went tracking we went to Sister Bagley's to see how she was doing. We are really hoping to teach her great-granddaughter Natille. After we went to eat dinner at the Pettijohns!! They are amazing!! We had an outside fire pit. Well the fire started to pop and well I caught my skirt on fire but it's totally cool because it's only a small hole in my skirt!  The PettiJohn's are amazing!! After dinner went we to see Pamela and Damien. The lesson went well. Pray for them . We also went to the office to get mail!! Thank you mom, Emily, Marissa and Jared for the letters!! Also, Mrs. Carden thank you for the package!! I was super excited!!!

Saturday, we went to see Dessa a investigator! Her grandma is 103 and still kicking!! Anyways, her grandma doesn't like mormons or black people. She is from Texas. Well I am a cute white girl and she thought we were the HELP!! So she let us in and we talked to Dessa! It was awesome!!! We the went and saw some less active and then had dinner at Sister Olsen's house! She is super funny! After we went to see Damien and Pamela again and taught the the last finishing up lessons. It was good. Still continue to pray for them.

Sunday We had studies and then we had dinner at the Taylor's. It was good... We then went to see the Humphrey family! And then we went to teach my FIRST LESSON EVER to Brenna!! Her family doesn't want anything to do with the church but Brenna needs the church to help her with her life to get on the straight and narrow!! Anyways, her family was super open and so nice! The lesson went great! After the lesson with Brenna we went and saw Jenny! She's great!!!

Yeah so that was my week!! It was good. I really love the letters that you write!! Keep them coming! I love getting mail!!

I Love ya'll!!

Take Care and Keep the Faith
