Sup fam.
First of all, Happy Birthday G'MA! You are looking younger every year. haha You are the best! Just have Shananu give you a kiss for your Birthday for you and that will be from me :) Goodness, it is b-e-a-utiful in Utah... I miss those colours so so so much!... But you sent pictures so its almost as if I am practically there :) UEA weekend sounds as if it was well spent. With biking, traveling, watching some soccer, going to Vegas, and wherever else you went, sounds like a jolly good time :) To be honest there is not much more I can say about all of guys. haha Keep strong and carry on.
Now my life. Ready set
GO.
This week was full of miracles once again. I don't fully comprehend why or how these all come about, but as I said last week, "I am so blessed." :) so I will start with my favourite miracle then work my way down... and tell you all of the dirty detes. :)
Okay, so yesterday after Church we had this priest and laurles camp at our Chapel for all of the youth of the stake, and Elder Nielson and I were there from 1 to about 6.15 or so. And President Jordan was there and he was going to be giving a training and having the mission choir singing at this event. He kindly asked if we wanted to stay and watch, but instead we decided to leave and go find somebody to teach as we headed to Debbie and Shannon's. As soon as we walked out of the Chapel there was a family with two kids walking right by us. So we asked them,
Have you ever been inside this Church before?
their response, "Well not, this one but one in Cambridge a few years back."
"Well would you like to come and listen to a choir that is singing here just for the night?"
"Ya, sure why not."
We walk into the room that President is in with the choir and ask them if they could sing them a song. Of course president said, "Of course, come on in." They sang "Brightly beams, our Father's Mercy" (Don't know if that is what it is called, but that is the first line.) and it was sooo good. Like A +, top notch, spirit filled, just smashing, actually marvellous! After the song was finished President asked them where they were from and they said, "Spain, and Mexico" So President Jordan and 3 or 4 other missionaries started talking to them in Spanish, and their faces just started to light up! They chit chatted for a bit then President asked, "Can these missionaries come and teach you sometime this week?" and they said, "Of course, we are open to different ideas, we would love to have them over." :) So we left the Chapel and scheduled an appointment with them for tomorrow and they will probably be baptised!! But here is the kick/cutest thing about all of this. So for about 3 weeks now we have been praying to find a "normal family" who could 1. be the second counsellor because we only have a first counsellor. And 2. have two kids, and one of them be over 8. And after we finished talking to them, and were walking away Elder Nielson looked over at me with tears in his eyes and said, "That was the family." And he just started crying tears of joy. :) It was such a happy moment and we knew right then, that this family truly was the family we were supposed to find. It just comes to show that if you ask for something Heavenly Father will answer your prayer, but He just answers in his own time. Talk about a truly humbling experience. :) MIRACLE!
Then yesterday as well at Church we had 8 people there! :) We had Anita and her family who we met in the street a few days back and invited them and she said, I have always been looking for a Church. Then on Sunday morning she asks us, "Can my friend come with and bring her kids as well?" And we were jumping all around the room saying, "OHHH heck ya you can bring your friend and her family!!!" hahah So that was a miracle, and we will be teaching them on Wednesday.
Update with Debbie and Shannon. This week we gave Debbie a priesthood blessing to help her with her W.O.W. problems, and oh my days! It worked, it works! All I have to do is take short little baby steps and I can go anywhere. (steps onto the ledge) oohhhuuhh. :) hah So Debbies's whole life she has been around tea. She usually has about 30-40 cups of tea a day, then she smokes about 20-30 a day. And as of yesterday she hasn't had a cigarette or a cup of tea!!!! :) :) :) MIRACLE! I am almost 100% sure that I was foreordained to find and teach Debbie and Shannon. It seems as if we have known each other for years, it's the best thing in the world! It makes me wanna cry. haha Im such a girl. :) It just comes to show that if you are obedient you will receive blessings. -Mosiah 2.41.
Well family, my time is up. If you can't tell Life is UHMAZING! I love it. I am not coming home. hehe And Oh the subject, comes from President Jordan. That is what he told Elder Nielson and I before we left the Chapel last night. hahah Don't know if it is supposed to be really deep, or just a weird thing to say, because I have never heard of it before. ha I secretely think President just got stuck and thought of something that grows.... So he could have said instead, "When the sun is shining... make corn." or something to that extent hahah :) I think it all means the same, but for some odd reason he said hay. But hey what can you say? ha okay im done.
Love you lot,
Have a smashing week!
Elder Dayton freaking Wright
HAPPY BIRTHDAY G'MA!!! I LOVE YOU!!
