My first day out in the field

I'm am officially out in the field. My companion is Elder Smith from London. I really like him thus far. Last night we went out once we finally got to our area from the Mission office. We are in the Evington area in the city Leicester. It's a really nice area. The city is...culturally diverse. Lots of Muslims and Hindus and people from all over. Last night we taught a lesson to a progressing investigator who is planning on getting baptized two weeks from Sunday. He was a very interesting fellow. When Elder Smith and his previous companion, Elder Davis stopped him on the street he was a alcoholic who smoked 40 cigarettes a day. I've only met him the one time but I can tell that he has made a huge change in his life. He is so thankful that they stopped him. We have some other investigators too. I haven't met them yet but I will over this next week. We have met quite a few people on the street too. I'm hoping that I will be able to teach and that I'll be somewhat of a help. So far I feel like I'm just along for the ride but I know that as time goes on I'll improve and be able to teach also.

Apparently this area has older people in the ward. Its a good thing though because we have a dinner appointment pretty much every week. Sister Brown picked up our luggage at the train station and then we walked to our flat. It is the stable of an old house. Its pretty nice inside but when I first saw the stable sign I got a little worried. Its on Haynes street. You should Google Map it. I don't remember the number though.

Its weird to think that the MTC is already over. Some days felt like they went so slowly but now looking back it went by super fast. I'm really going to miss my M.T.C. District. They were all really great and we got really close as time went on.
President and Sister Ogden were both really nice and I can tell that they will be great. They said that we will be their last group that they will see all the way through for the full two years. I'm glad that we will have the same one.


Keep sending letters!!

Love you,
Elder Wright
