Sorry Everyone catching up on Daytons Blog.


    Dear Family and Friends,

 To be honest, I am a bit jealous. Jealous in the fact that you went to the 1 Direction concert... You are so lucky!! haha :) Seriously though. (One direction re-mix coming up) If only you saw what I could see, you'd understand why I want to go so desperately. Right now I'm writing this e-mail and I can't believe, that you don't know-oh-oh You don't know I want to go!! :) haha Im sure that was good, family fun entertainment! :) Sounds as if summer is into the full swing of things, literally. That golfing looked well fun! I could just imagine Marae golfing... haha :) Let's just say it puts a smile on my face. It kinda reminds me of Samantha trying to play volleyball!! Do you remember that?! Good times. :) :) And we also have girl's camp coming up!! WEHU! Everybody and their cats know that girls camp is by far the greatest thing in the world! :) Make sure to live it up Mum, and Nae-no... you only live once. haha I'm sorry Shananu about your back, that is some bad news. I hope everything gets better. *crossing my fingers OH, PS. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! :) :) I know it's a bit late, but I didn't wish you one in advance and yesterday I was thinking about you the whole day and I was like, shoot, I didn't wish him a Happy Father's Day last week... But don't you worry, I did write you a hand written letter last week so that should get to you soon :) :) Deirck Wright >>> You truly are the best dad in the world!! Thanks for all that you have done for the family! 10 Points for you :) :) 

   My week.

  Yesterday we confirmed Mandy and Chelsea members of the Church!! :) Such a strong spiritual experience :) And they are doing so well! Everybody is fellow shipping them and you can tell that they are going to be solid members :) If nothing else goes right in my mission,  this one experience will be good enough for me. Seeing Mandy go from smoking everyday all day to going to church and saying her prayers, is the best thing in the world!! There truly is something different about the relationship that missionaries and their investigators share with each other. I love those three like family. They had a really neat experience this week. After they were baptized they received loads entirely of blessings :) Mandy lives off of benefits so she doesn't receive much money from week to week and this past week the school called her in about Chelsea. When Mandy got to the school the head master told Mandy that they are giving her 400 pounds of vouchers and that Chelsea could get free food and snacks for the rest of the year. Mandy asked why and they just said we know you could use some help and we are giving it to you. :) :) :) Init that the best thing you could ever hear! Especially as a parent? Now you don't have to worry if you have enough money to feed your kids or give them their "snack." They are set now. :) God works in mysterious ways. Now I just hope and pray that they stay on the right path! What a cool story! 

   To be honest this past week with teaching and finding wasn't exactly the best. We had a lot planned had a lot of good plans for people, but they just wound't have it. We would call them, text them, stop by their house, and they wouldn't answer. And the worst part is that you get to their house, you hear people walking around inside, knock on their door, and then nobody comes.... So you knock again, the dog starts barking, you hear somebody say "SHUT UP" and they still don't come to the door, knock again, you see one of the kids come to the door, and they are just about to open the door, then somebody grabs them and takes them away from the door. We knock one more time. And they look through the curtains and they are "on the phone" and they mouth come back another time. hahahahah That is the best thing in the world!! :) :) :) Just kidding that never happened. But could you imagine? haha Oh my days! :) I mean we got every single one of them this past week, but not all at the same door... haha If that happened at the same door, I would probably just die of laughter!! :') But ya not a whole lot of stuff happened this week. Actually a lot of stuff happened this week. We were dropped by just about everybody! ha We had I believe 5 on date at the start of the week and by the end we had 2. But these two that are on date don't look too promising. One of our investigators is even getting baptized into a different church! Talk about an ultimate sucker punch to the gonads!! haha Elder Wright and I have tried to figure out what is going on and it's not because we are being disobedient, not getting along, or being apostate. But we reckon it's because we found such a lovely family and baptized them that He doesn't want us to have too much success ;) That was a complete joke. I don't know if I should delete that or not, because that doesn't sound the best but if it's what we think, you should be able to know. Right? :) A great plus of this past week was we had dinner with the members every night!! WEHU! That is always the best! A bit random, but that has never happened so that was nice :) #delicious 

   Yup. That is my week in a nut shell. If I could describe it in three words, lovely, sunny, and spot-on. haha Is that four words? I tried making it three but whatevs. I love you! Hope you have a wonderful week and live up your summer!! It only comes once a year. :) 

  Love you! 

 Elder Dayton Wright
