Stake Conference

Dear Fam,

   It sounds like Stake Conference was truly inspiring. And it's great to hear that some of it was on Hastening the Work of Salvation, because that is exactly what ours is on this next weekend! I hope President Fagg (Stake President, don't laugh at his name. hehehe >:) ) does the same thing that happened at your Stake Conference, have everybody give the missionaries names of people to go teach :) Because that would be awesome!! Referrals are the best thing in the world! 

   It sounds like Zandy is doing well with football! :) Zandy make sure you tell the team this quote that I heard from Jack Nicholas in our past district meeting. He said "The harder you try the luckier you get." Isn't that a great quote? I think that is going to be my motto either that or Hakuna Matata. Either one is fine by me :) :) haha That is mental that Zandy goes home in a month or so... Where has the time gone? School is almost over! Summer is almost here! Peeps are getting their mission calls! Graduation is coming up! Holy days! I can see why Kenny Chesney says in his song, "Don't Blink." Life goes by too fast not to enjoy it. So live it up!! :) :) 

  This week was another wonderful week in the mission field! Training is going surprisingly really well. And it's not because I am a good trainer or anything. In fact its because Elder Wright was so well trained before he came out on his mission that it makes my job easier :) We work very well together and we are finding success in the wonderful area of Witham :) This coming week we have more appointments than we have had for a while and it keeps getting more full :) Erts ser awerserm!! What's even better is that this past week we taught a lady by the name of Katie. At first she cancelled on us and said, "something bad has happened to her so she can't meet with us." And we were gutted. We prepared a great lesson for her and she cancelled on us... Ugh. But to our surprise she texted back and said, "I can actually meet you at 7 in the park." Don't know why she said that.... Actually I think the Man upstairs had something to do with it. :) But anyhoo we met her in the park and the lesson went really well. Elder Wright was slaying with analogies!! I was like oh shhnnappp! Where did you come up with that?? He was saying something to do with ice cream and how we want to share it with peeps and how it makes us happy and how it can make her happy and all this crazy stuff. As you can tell it went right over my head! haha But it was b-e-a-utiful :) And by the end of the lesson we invited her to be baptised! And she said yes!! :) :) :) What what! That has never really happened to me before where they say yes on the first lesson! It was so awesome! We didn't give her a date for the baptism, but we did ask her to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, and she said that she has read from it already so we are very happy with her and that whole situation :) :) I love "greeny" missionaries because they have this hope and faith that they can baptise everybody and they just want to do missionary work! Its so much fun to see Elder Wright just in the past couple of days watch him improve and see him start to get more confident in himself and be more willing to talk to EVERYONE :) It makes me very happy. Elder Wright is a very funny kid. He makes me laugh :) The things that he says, the things that he does, and his mannerisms are so funny! And the best thing is that he is a wonderful singer! So I am going to take lessons from him, but he is charging me 10 pounds a lesson... so can you send me more money? hahah Just kiddin he's not making me pay, but I do need money. Like today! I am starting my driving and it is 56 pounds so I need some more mullah :) Im kinda scared to drive tho. Cuz the roads are half the size to the US and you drive on the opposite side. You use the stick with your left hand. Everything is different and I just might kill myself.... #prayforDayton #imabitnervous 

    Well fam have a great week :) And as the summer approaches just remember the way you felt when you went to Hawaii... You missed me and wanted me to come, so don't go anywhere too fun :) Like you better not go to " Lake Winnipasaukee. That's W-i-n-n-i-p-a-s-a-u-k-e-e, two A's and two E's..... perfect. Thank you ladies I am crazy about you especially you Betty." :) :) hahah What about Bob. What a film. :) haha I love you guys and pray for you constantly! I know the Lord blesses us as we are more obedient. President Jordan says, "Obedience brings blessings, Exact Obedience brings Miracles." So if you want something amazing to happen look at your life, What are you lacking or what do you need to improve on, and if you do this you will soon see the Lord's hand in your life and you will start to see Miracles :) A bit harsh, but true. :) I love you and hope you have a wonderful week! 

Love,

Elder Dayton Wright 

Looking Grown Up

Dear Family,

  I liked how in your e-mail mum you were saying how I look more grown up, but umm.... I think I look younger. The only difference between the "old" me and the "new" me is a fatter face. hahah :( ER mer gersh erm ser fert! It sounds like the whole fam damily is doing well. I wish I could have gone with all of you to Cali. That seems like a great trip! :) But was even seems more great is Mothers day this Sunday!!! Woot Woot!! :) Can you say skype!!?? :) :) haha the person you need to look up or whatever you do is jonny.griffin If you add him as a friend things should go just fine :) I can't wait to see you but until that time I will tell you about my week.

 This week was stupendous! We saw and continue to see so many miracles!! For example, we were about to go teach this appointment at 2 o' clock and at about 1.30 they texted and said we were up sick all night last night. can we reschedule? So we reluctantly we said yes. But we were so gutted, but we stuck to our back up plans anyway, which was to go find people in the town centre. As we were walking to the town centre we stopped this bloke that was walking pretty fast and it looked as if he was on a mission to go kill somebody. But we weren't bothered. In the England London Mission we are bold! Like lions!! :) So we asked him, would you like to be with your family forever? And he stopped and began swearing at us!! And we were like maybe we do fear men... :) JK LOL But after a bit he cooled down and he said its funny you should ask me that. I am going to go talk to my mrs. because we are having marital problems. So we looked at each other and just started to testify about everything there is in the book. We went from families to Joseph Smith to who knows what and during that whole time his whole persona changed. He went from swearing, agitated, and jumpy to being calm, respectful, and understanding. It was amazing! The spirit was so strong and it made us so so sos so happy!! :) Afterwards we said a prayer with him and after the prayer he said, "I feel a lot better. I am glad you stopped me and started to talk to me, because before I was going to go talk to my mrs. and probably ruin our relationship but know I feel calm and relaxed." After he said that we were like Darrell (thats his name) that is the spirit testifying to you that these things are true! Can we meet up again? And he said Ya of course. So we met up again and to make long story short we taught an amazing first lesson and invited him to be baptised and he said YES!! So that is saweet!! :) :) :) We are very happy! We are truly seeing the Lord's hand in the work. It is wonderful! And we had so many other miracles just like this the whole week!! 

  I am terribly sorry, but I have to go. don't have much time but we get to skype on Sunday!!!!!!!!!! WEHUWEHU!! I cant wait!! :) :) :) :) I am thinking about 7.30 should be grand :) I love you family and I cannot wait to see your B-e-a-utiful faces :) 

  Much love

Elder Dayton Wright
