Week 6, but who's counting? Chased by dogs

Today for P-day I think we are just cleaning the house, going to Wal-Mart, and getting some sleep!

Stereotypical dog encounter suspect #1

Stereotypical dog encounter suspect #2

Well, this week was pretty funny because the most stereotypical thing happened to us... We were chased by dogs! Apparently, I was almost bit, so says my companion, but now as I look back at this experience I laugh about it like crazy. 

The only time I see my district are at district meetings cause we can't do things with other missionaries. However, there is this really cool elder from Payson Utah in my district named Elder Colby and we would have been good friends back home cause he goes jeeping as well.
    

We also had 3 baptisms this Saturday for Hermano Arturo and his Daughter Hermana Minerva and also a ward baptism of 8 year old Natalia.  Her family is so cool and I love visiting them and they love us so much as well and can't wait for us to return. (I think those pictures are going to have to wait till next week cause the pictures are on my companions camera because I forgot mine...) 

This coming Saturday we will have another baptism for David, who is 9 years old. We have to teach all the lessons to him since he didn't get baptized at 8 years old.  But he is so cool!  We also received 5 new investigators this Sunday from the members who invited them.  We will meet with them sometime this week as well.  We are working with another family (Hermano Alvaro) they could use your prayers because he needs to get married in order to get baptized.

I don't know much about Alvaro but he really wants to be baptised as well as his kids, but his wife is the only thing keeping from that happening right now; she said she'll get married it's just we are hoping that it actually comes through. It's the culture in Mexico not to get married.  He even mentioned he would move out of his house to be baptized.

I want to talk a little concerning the Atonement of Jesus Christ because I had another experience with it this Sunday when I just felt terrible and hopeless.  I was just not happy all this weekend and I felt really burdened.  I was praying like crazy for help and I didn't know what to do.  When Sacrament meeting started I got the impression to apply the Atonement.  So that's what I did and I literally felt like my burdens were lifted.  I do not know why I did not do this sooner because man was I feeling terrible.  So just know that no matter what is troubling you no matter how big or small.  You can receive the help you need through the Savior.  Well that was my little quick message.  I love you all and I love hearing from you every week. Talk to you all next Monday!

Love Elder Wright

PS. 

How's Zach doing? I haven't heard from him for a couple of weeks.  I still haven't heard from Miguel either.  But Ashlinn recently sent me a nice letter....I heard Zach is just dying of boredom that he even volunteered to read to Sister Patterick's school kids!   I do get to share emails from my MTC district sometimes too - which is nice.
