well Elder Wright, i just thought i'd post an overview of our 1st mission tour together.
in retrospect it seems we've gained a lot of popularity and a strong fan-base. with each sell-out appearance i could feel the crowd diggin' our line-up arrangment more and more. it began to feel more like a continuing story rather than a choppy scene cut. i've noticed though that you always start out with such positive energy, workin the crowd and charming improv, you know, there's no guessing who the front man is. but then you seem to fade out towards the end and i'm forced to play more parts than planned. perhaps as we begin the 2nd tour, you could really demand the audience remember the happy ending in our set, whilst keeping the explosive beginning. people will dig us, soon we'll need bodyguards. that is, if you don't overdose on coke. either way, i love your style and i'll keep backin' you up. rock on elder. your companion, elder ray

I do not know Elder Wright. I was looking at my nephew's website and came across some of his pictures from his mission. I just wanted to say how beautiful and touching I found the pictures and the captions. I shared them with my two teenage boys. I hope that someday a calendar or something is made with the pictures. I was truly touched by them. I wish you continued success.

Elder Wright--
I've been reading over your emails/letters (as someone who leaves for the Uganda Kampala mission in 8 days), and I noticed that the last few have mentioned your college application process.

I'm actually a super-senior at BYU (Provo) now and would be more than willing to add whatever help I can with your applications. There really are some loopholes and back doors to get into the Y. If you'd like some help/advice, just let me know.

As I mentioned before, I will be heading to the Jo'burg MTC on the 26th and should be getting in to Uganda mid-March. That aside, I'll be available (read: email-able) before then and during my MTC stay.

Just let me know how I can help.

All the best,
Jesse Welsh

There are some amazing photos on here! Keep up the good work!

Hey. I just want to tell you...Thanks for being cool.

Elder Wright,
We just listened to a tape from our son and it was so fun to hear from you, Elder Soko and Elder Bailey. Thank you so much for talking to us. We look forward to you coming to visit us when you return and I will have my referals ready for you.

Much love, Sis K

Hi Elder Wright,
I just wanted to thank you for all the great pictures of your mission trip. I was looking at them in hopes of finding a few pictures of my son Elder Prier. You made a mother very happy today to see my son smiling in a few of your pictures! What an amazing mission you Elders are on. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Lisa Prier

Dear Elder Wright:
I have appreciated reading your letters posted on your website. My brother, Elder Scott Daly, is currently in the Joberg MTC. He will be serving in Uganda, as far as I understand. So I have been reading some of your letters and some of Elder Keeley's to help me understand what Scott's mission might be like. Your letters are short, easy to read and definitely have a spirit of service and testimony within them. I am sure you are a great missionary who shows a great example to the people and other missionaries there. Keep doing your best. The water truck might come tomorrow-you have that to look forward to! God bless
