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.

#Alaska Living

Hey Ya'll!! 
I have to tell you all about the plan rides to Alaska! I sat by Elder Winslow and Elder Timmos. Elder Winslow made me laugh the whole entire time for the 3 house flight to Washington! It was so funny! He is hilarious!! My district all sat together on the plane the first ride but we didm;t sit near each other the second flight. It was so exciting to be in Washington where Emily was!! I was able to call my mom from the Seattle airport! I was the last one to call and I was crying like a baby! It was riduclous but Elder Winslow came over and said, "It's okay Georgia". I seriously have the best friends/district ever!! They are so truly amazing!! My EB was still really bad but Elder Hinkcley and so concering he asked if i c=was okay every time i took a step!

We got to Alaska. Had a breaif testimony meeting and it was so spiritual!! I am so grateful! Maybe I will go a testimony meeting without crying. But i don't think i will!!! It was the last night our family was together!! We were so sad we were separating! But we know we are going to be family after our mission! They are the best!! I am so glad we picked each other to serve with!!

At transfer meeting I was so EXCITED to see Elder Sorenson!!! HE IS THE BEST!!! He is going to Canada, White Horse!!! That is so exciting!!

So I am in Alaska. I am in the Jewel Lakes area. It's super ghetto. There was a robbery the other night down the road from us. It's where the projects are and stuff like that. People are super poor and they latterly have nothing. It's so sad. It's the saddest thing I have ever seen. It makes me feel so grateful for the house and family I have. My compaion is Sister Applegate. She talks to dead people. She can see like dead people. It's the creepiest thing ever. She talks to this other lady in the ward all about it because I guess that both talk to dead people. It makes me very scared.

I haven't seen a moose, bear, or anything cool like that. There is 175 inactive families and only 59 active families so we have a lot of work to do! The work is mostly inactive work. We have to get them going back to church. It's hard. I don't think I was ever that hard headed but i had a difficult time coming back so I am just going to do everything I can to get these families to church!

Other than that everything is good... it's okay.
My mission president and his wife are amazing!! My district leaders are wonderful!

Oh I ate a fish yesterday called Samoan. I ate it and then my mouth started to break out with little bumps and then i got sick. So i think I am allergic to it or something.

Anyways, Please write me! Because I love getting letters!!

Love
Sister Morgan Rebecca Wright
