Dear FAMILY!!! 

   Roses are Red, Violets are blue, I'm a schizophrenic and so am I. :) 

Martha may who-via I HATE YOU!! Hate, hate, hate, LOADS entirely!! 

Black mail, Jury duty, pink slip, black mail, jury duty....  

I call this a moon burn :) :) 

Lefty loosey, righty tighty. 

Okay now that I got that out of my system, I can write. 

Er jesrt lerv mer merssern!! Talk about an amazing week in the mission field! :) Sorry I am being selfish, just talking about myself. It sounds like you guys are totes perf. Okay back to my week >:) hahah

   Let's start with the baptism yesterday :) We baptized Mandy and Chelsea who Elder Wright and I found, taught and baptized :) :) We have grown really close to them and to see them progress and come to the realization that this church is true is the best feeling in the world! Mandy went from smoking 30-40 cigarettes a day to zero. We gave her a priesthood blessing and afterwards she stopped. Just like that. Mental that is. Chlesea is super duper smart. She understands the Gospel better than a 16 year old priest. She is so smart :) She even said the closing prayer at her baptism and said something along the lines of, "Now that we are on the right path, please help us to continue on the straight and narrow, and lead us away from the bad things." :) An 11 year old said that prayer. That's awesome! The baptism went over really well :) No cannon balls or crazy events. haha Just picturesque it was. Spirit was present. The ward was there. And Mandy and Chlesea loved it! What more can you ask for? Great finish to a great week!! 

   On Saturday evening we were teaching this lady named June. We taught her the first lesson a week back and gave her a date for the 29th of June. She accepted it and everything was golden. Saturday we talked about the Plan of Salvation. We opened up the lesson with Dieter F. Uchtdorf's Mormon Message, "Our true identity." Which talks about the ugly duckling becoming this marvelous swan. (you should watch it if you haven't) And we related that to her. How we are all sons and daughters of our loving Heavenly Father and then went on to teach her about the Plan of Happiness :) During the lesson we taught the Word of Wisdom, Law of Chastity, and Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. The first two she was fine with. But keeping the Sabbath day Holy she wouldn't accept it. And we were being so persistent with her by the end of the lesson it seemed as if we were trying to FORCE her to come to Church. But she wouldn't budge. Even after the closing prayer we brought it up one more time and  I think for one of the first times in my life I felt how much God loves all of his children. I started crying, because she shouldn't come to Church... A bit embarrassing but I was so gutted. I didn't know what to do. I knew how much it would bless her life, but she wasn't having it. It opened my eyes just for a minute about how much God loves ALL of us. No matter where we are in life! Which leads me to an amazing quote I heard in Church yesterday which says, "Why would I quit now, when God has given me so much already?" Boom Bam Ding Shong WEHU! haha Great quote init? :) But it is so true. God has given us so much how could we ever give up on Him, ourselves or others? It jsut doesn't make sense. I just love thinking about that quote. You should put it on your wall or somewhere where you can see it to remind you everyday that "You can do it. He is with you, and has given you so much already." :) LOVE IT!! 

   An update on our relationship ( Elder Wright and I ) its perf!! He is amazing!! It's crazy how if you change your frame of mind, serve him, and just love the bloke, how great somebody truly is. I don't know why in the HECK we didn't get along, because we get along sooo well. First of all we have the same name. He is Compton "ghetto booty" California. Which makes him sick! And I am from Ogden "Ghetto Booty" Utah... So we are pretty much the same there. ;) haha But ya I just love the kid. He isn't really much of a kid, he is 3 years older than me... But he is teaching me so much. He's great!! All I can say is taht I am stupid for not getting along with him from the very start. It's like Michael Jackson's song. "I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. No message can a man be any clearer. If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make that change. OW! nah nah nah" :) haha Change yourself before you criticize others. It's as simple as that. :) 

  One more qucik story. So we were doing service for a Less active in the ward. (mowing her lawn) And the lawn mowers over here are bere weird and you plug them into the outlet and then it works. And Leona's grass is about 3 to 4 feet tall and so we started on the task of mowing her lawn.... And about 7 minutes into it I, Dayton "stupid kid" Wright ran over the electrical cord that plugs into the wall!!!...... So ya... We couldn't mow anymore. But apparently that happens a lot over here so it is fixable :) I will attach loads of pictures that will help explain myself :) 

 

I love you!! And thanks for all of the love and support!! 

Keep on keeping on

Love

Elder Dayton Wright
