Lets Go round 2!!

WEHU! Family,

  Year 1 accomplished.

  Year 2, bring it on. :) 

This is so crazy to me. Can you believe it? I have now officially been out for a year... That is mental. I can think to what I was doing a year ago and its things like I was in the MTC... that doesn't even seem real. LIke what the heck?! ha This is a love hate relationship, I love how fast the time is flying by, but on the other hand it is going by too quick. I just can't believe it! Ugh. But at the end of the day the love of this relationship out rules the hate :) haha Pray that this year goes by even quicker :) haha 

   That youth spectacular event sounds pretty neat. And the temple is b-e-a-utiful. Dang. It's like extreme make over home edition, but with a temple. haha :) Somebody looks FABULOUS! -Grinch. But ya thats cool stuff. 

    I miss you guys. I love you. (Just thought I would throw that in there. Kinda like a surprise :) ) This week was good... as always. Like seriously compare what a missionary complains about to what you have to deal with in real life.

MISSIONARY complains about- We don't have anybody to teach. Im tired. Why is nobody progressing in this Gospel. I hope those people pray about the BoM. I hope they make it to Church. And the list can go on and on.

REAL LIFE people complain about- School sucks! I need a job, need to support a family, why do we have to work so much? What am I going to do with my life? And the list goes on and on. 

  Missionaries have it so easy when you compare it to real life people. ahah All we complain about/pray about are our investigators to grow and progress. We don't need to worry about family, money, job, any of that stuff. That is given to all of us. :) Im not complaining, but you have it a whole lot harder than missionaries. Missionaries complain way too much, and they don't realise how great this work is!!! Wake up and smell the roses! You know what I mean?! Work harder! You are only out here for 18-24 months, then you have an eternity to think about how you did in those months. That right there is a scary thought. So you best believe that I am trying to do all within my power (with the help of God of course) to do my very best. As you can tell I am not looking forward to real life, I know that is forever away, but to be honest I would be content if I could live this life style longer.... haha 

   This week Elder Nielson and I realised that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass. For a bit we stopped focusing on the small things and things got CRAZY! Everything just went out of control a bit, but I was told by a wise man, "That if you remain calm, nothing bad will ever happen." -Adam Melaney. So I took to that wise man's counsel, reflected on why these things were happening and changed them. And we continued to give thanks to the Lord for everything we have, plead with Him for help and for investigators to find out that the book is true, and what have ya. And by doing those small, but meaningful things, things changed. :) It was a very good lesson to me. I constantly need to do everything with in my power, especially the small things in order to receive the great things. Now compare this to your life. Continue to focus on the small things, and everything else falls into place. Continue to say your prayers, feast upon the words of Christ, spend time with Family, pretty much just have your priorities straight. Do things that make a difference in life. "Our usual worries can be classified into 5 categories, 1. 40 percent never happen. 2. 30 percent are in the past and can't be changed. 3. 12 percent are needless health worries. 4. 10 percent are miscellaneous problems. 5. 8 percent are real problems of which 95 percent can be solved." -Forgot who said this. Focus on that 8 percent, and as it says, 95 percent of those problems can be solved. I leave that other 5 percent to the Lord. Its just like Bob Wiley. He did the simple things, he tied himself to the boat, put on the life jacket, then at the end of the day, "He just let the boat do the work, that was his secret." :) We need to be more like Bob Wiley. Just let the Lord do the work. But don't forget that you need to do all that you can do. :) :) hahahaha Dang. That was such a good comparison. POINT FOR THE KIDS! Point for me? :):) :) haha I think yes. 

   David who is on date for the 28th is still on date.... Sorta. I don't feel like he is ready, but the Zone Leaders are pushing so hard to have him stay there. But he just has way too many questions and Elder Nielson and I feel if we were to baptise this man, he would fall away instantly. So we will probs push his date back to the 12th of OCtober. Wow, that is 2 days after Shananu turns 17.... My wee lil sister is growing up :') ha LOVE YOU! 

  But ya thats my life! Pretty good innit? :) We also have a 34 year old man on date for the 26th of October so thats sweet as well :) :) The work is truly hastening and now its time for the members to come into play. If the members will do their part, this work will hasten quicker. And that is what Elder Nielson and I are focusing on. We are trying to start a family night at the chapel 2 times a month, and the do sports night the other 2 times in the month. That way members can invite their family and friends to these activities and the work will hasten. :) :) 

  Thats my piece. That's my life. From Lovely Luton to Ogden Utah. Hope this week is better than last and continue to be like Bob Wiley. If you learned nothing from my letter BE LIKE BOB WILEY! :) hahah

That man has no worries or problems. Just remember kids

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I'm a schizophrenic,

and so am I. 

Love you!

Elder Dayton Curtis Wright

ps Be like Bob Wiley!

  Dear Family,

 So life is good, the grass in green, the good Lord smiling on you and meeee. Better knock on wood :) Don't know who sings that song, but I am pretty sure I sing that every single day. :) Cuz life is so DANG good. I don't think there is one thing I could complain about. Nothing is wrong. Whether that be at home or in lovely Luton :) haha

  But onto your life. Sounds like its the same ol' same ol'. haha no big changes or news, so you could say that's a good thing :)ha Sounds like the dance was totes magoats a smashing time! I love stag dances. You get into the dance and your like, "K, lets go get it ooonnnn!!" Then "your song" comes on and you look at your friends and your like, "This is my song!" Then you go finna hard. (Is that used in the right context?) haha :) :) :) I miss school dances. Those were my pride and joy :) Live up your high school years Shananu cuz they go by way too fast. In fact when I get back I will see if I can't sneak into a few of the dances, because I miss them so much, and I look like I am still in high school so I could totes sneak my way in :) We would make that dance Legit. Actually 2 legit. :) Hope life is treating you well Marae and Dad. No e-mails from either of you.... That's okay, because I am kinda used to Marae forgetting about her only brother, but DAD, seriously? haha Jk love you anyways. Mum sounds like real e-state is improving and that you are having a fun time with that so point for you :) :) Everybody you are all really neat :) Every time I write I get this extra energy and my heart starts beating proper fast, and I get really giddy so that's why I am always all over the place :) :) ILY
   K. My life. You could call this week a week of miracles. :) And don't worry you will get all of the info about these miracles. There are three stories/people I need to tell you about so her you go. :)

Story 1.

David is his name, 29 Nigerian, we have taught him before and he seemed somewhat interested, but he wasn't progressing. So last week we saw him at ASDA, which is just the British Wal-Mart and he asked If we could come over, and of course we agreed so we scheduled to see him on Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around awfully fast and we go in thinking of dropping (not teaching) David, because he has kinda wasting our time to be honest. So we get into the lesson and we ask him about how his reading of the Book of Mormon has been and he says, "I have read what you wanted me to read, and I have prayed about it. And I have received a divine revelation that the Book is true." And Elder Nielson and I were like, "pardon?" haha not really, but inside I wanted to give this man a kiss, but I kept my composure and we taught him about Joseph Smith and what have ya and then asked him to be baptised on the 28th of September and he accepted :) :) :) :) :) :) GET IN SON! And he also was willing to come to Church and willing to follow the Word of Wisdom. Get in! So that was the best thing ever! Story number 1.

Story 2.

 On Friday Elder Nielson came up with this lovely finding idea of showing the people on the street all of our pass along cards, and asking them to take a card, and doing some sort of magic trick. So I decided to try it... heheh So the first guy we stop, we say "Pick a card, any card." He picks one, and we ask, "Why that one?" And he says well it was the centre one. And we reply, "Well just like how that card was central, Jesus Christ is central to the message we share with people...." And continued to teach him about Jesus Christ and God. And this man, Lee is his name, told us that he didn't have a strong belief but that he was willing to meet with us on Saturday. So we met him the next day, and taught him in a local park where all of these kids were playing football, and I was getting so distracted! Thinking of my "glory days" hah :) But the lesson with Lee went amazingly well. He said all of the right things and by the end of the lesson we challenged him to be baptised on the 28th of September and he accepted!!! :) :) :) GET IN SON! Yup. Big gulp huh? Alright, see ya later.

Story 3.

Donia is her name, and it starts with a prompting to send a text to everybody in our phone to see when the missionaries could teach them again. And she calls and says, "What about Saturday at your Chapel?" SO we see her on Saturday after the amazing lesson with Lee, and we give her a Chapel tour, then show her a Mormon message, "Rescued through Christ" (which all of you should watch if you haven't) and start talking about Christ and the Godhead, because she is a Catholic and so she is really confused about the Godhead, so we told her about how God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, are 3 separate beings, but one in purpose. And she was like, Oh that makes perfect sense. So we continued on about Jesus Christ's life and started talking about baptism, and she thought that she needed to be baptised. So we said, "Well there is actually a very special room in our Chapel that we saved last to show you. And that is the baptismal font." Which was right behind her, so we open the doors and the first thing she says is, "That is the proper way it is supposed to be done." So we invite her for baptism right then for the 12th of October, and she accepts!! GET IN SON! :) Crazy innit?! So many miracles!! Random fact about Donia is she is from Pakistan, and is Christian... Weeeirdddd, but she has a family and wants all of them to be baptised!!! GET IN SON! :) ha

So that is my week. Crazy! But so lovely! This week flew by. Cannot believe it. It doesn't even seem real. But on Thursday I went into London (I bet you lot wish you could say that) hehe for a Leadership meeting and I received the package :) :) When I opened that package mum, I think my heart pooped. I ate 6 of those fast breaks right away. No hesitation. I regretted it afterwards, but Oh my days!! It tasted like heaven :) :) hahahah Thank you so so so sos much for everything! It was just what I needed. CHEERS! ILY

 Well fam damily. That is another week of the best 2 years. Stay tuned. In another short week, I will back at it again. :)

Love ya to bits.

I need to buy some bits and bobs so don't be surprised if some money comes out of the account. :)

I LOVE YOU.

Love,

Your brother, son, grand child, friend, or whatever else :)

September 8, 2014

   Dear Family,

  So this is going to have to be reeeall quick. I have like no time whatsoever. We were at a BBQ today with President and Sister Jordan. They went to Costco and bought us all of these american foods!!! OH mY DAYS #! I miss american food :) haha Bought don't you worry, I definitely took some selfies with Sister Jordan and President Jordan. :) #getin! President was a bit reluctant, but I was bold and so he cracked under the pressure ;) 

   This week has been incredible! The main reason why is, because we had a family come to Church! :) It was a mum and three kids. So great. The only problem is that we can't see them this week and they are not able to come to Church so we will have to wait til next week to see them. You should pray for them. Just pray for Maggie and her family, pray that they come to Church, get baptised in September, and that we can find somebody to speak French to them :) ha Cuz they speak French and we don't (go figure) so we need to find somebody who can. ha Cheers. 

   Elder Nielson is doing great! We are the same person. I can't get over it. But whatever. We love each other which makes the work a lot easier and goes by a whole lot faster :) 

  Pray that we continue to find "elect" families. Not just any families, but elect. K. Cheers. 

   TO be honest there isn't m,uch more... We are doing well in Sunny Luton. I love it and it loves me. I cannot believe it is September, like what the _____! Crazy! :) Hope you have a great day! And a better week! Love your guts :) 

  Love your son, brother, friend, cousin, bestie, and whatever else I fit under,

 ELDER DAYTON WRIGHT! 

September 1, 2014

  Dear Family,

  I am filled with so many emotions, I don't even know where to start. So as it is the 1st of September I am feeling a bit sad right now, because Kalena has been gone for 10 years now. Can you believe that? 10 years? That has gone by so fast. I truly do miss her, but with the knowledge that we have we know everything will work out :) I don't want to make this a sad letter so I shall move on from this touchy subject. 

  I would have to say that my happiness/giddiness/joy just everything you could say is filled to the brim right now!! :) First of all, because Olivia got her call :) :) :) :) I wish I was called to serve where she is going... But hey England aint half bad ;) Proud of you Liv. :) My new companion is stupendous! His name is Elder Nielson, from Fool Creek, UT population of 60. haha :) He is saweet. So after President asked me to train I was praying with all my heart that I would get a little brother figure, and sure enough I got one :) Elder Nielson is so much like me! He finishes my sentences half the time, he is the only boy and has three sisters, works on a farm, hard worker, likes country music, ran track (800 M in 1:57 and 400 in 50), and he is very outgoing and likes to smile :) :) You could say that God answers prayers :) He is a great kid and you know how the youngest is usually the best at everything because they have had to play and fight against the older kids their whole life? That is how he is. He is so prepared and just ready to serve it is g-r-8! :) I like him.

  Alright be prepared for a very "missionary" paragraph. So this week in my studies (which I love by the way. Mum you would be so proud that I finally learned how to study :) ) I was studying about finding people to teach. And I looked up a few scriptures and then pretty soon I realised that my whole mission I have been finding people the wrong way! So whenever we used to pray to find somebody to teach we would say something along the lines of, "Please help us find somebody to teach." and after my studay I realized that it needed to be more specific. It says in the scriptures that the Lord is preparing the "elect" and that is who we need to pray for. So we made a resolution to pray for the elect and try to find them, and what do you know.... It happened :): ) :) We found loads of people this week who were you could say "elect" :) And it just comes to show that the more specific you are in your prayers the more the Lord will give you what you want/desire as long as it is a righteous desire. Moral of the story, BE SPECIFIC WHEN YOU PRAY! I pray for just about everybody who is reading this letter every day and night, and if you are thinking "he probably doesn't pray for me."  Then to be honest you are probably right. hahahah Sorry the truth hurts :) :) But ya so that is my "missionary" paragraph. 

  The work in Luton is going great!! We have every night this week filled with teaching appointments :) I love it! Now lets see if we can get these teaching appointments, to solid investigators, to progressing, to baptised! At the end of the day we are called to baptise people. And that is what we will do! And Elder Nielson and I came up with a wonderful idea how to do that :) Okay so you know how in school if you suck up to the teacher they like you more or give you more of a lead way in certain things... Well Elder Nielson and I, to get these baptisms, are going to "suck up" if you like to our investigators. :)  For example we will make them cookies and say how much we love teaching them and make origami or something cool... haha I mean we aren't doing this just to "suck up" but to show how much we genuinely care for the people we teach. And I believe that if we have the right intentions the Lord will bless us for trying to show more love to those we are teaching. :) So that is our direction at the moment of how we can help people come unto Christ. Pretty smart innit :) :) 

   Well that is another weekly letter from Elder D "dubb" I love my mission, I miss my oldest sister, I know we will see her again, I miss my other sisters as well :), my family means the world to me, I am truly excited to train my "younger brother," the mission is flying by, I am so excited for Olivia, I cannot wait to tell you how this whole "sucking up"thing will go, but most of all.... I love you! 

Have a lovely week! 

Continue to tear it up in soccer Shananu.

Sell some houses mum.

Work hard Dad.

Marae you got the whole world in your hands. Use it wisely.

Peace.

 Dear Family,

  That has got to be the saddest news about Dalton and his brother... Please send my love to their family. A lot of great times with that kid...

   It seems as if everything is going swell in Ogden, UT with the Temple open house, boating, soccer tryouts, holiday lighting, and summer life :) :) I saw some pics of the temple on lds.org and the Ogden Temple is gorgeous!!! I cannot wait to go in it and do some temple work again. I miss the temple, although I didn't take full advantage of it when I was at home, (ooopsies) but I have made a resolution to change when I get back! We are far too blessed to have a temple 15 minutes away and not take advantage of it! So if you don't go to the temple on a regular basis, GET THERE!! ha Im not going to lie, I was a bit gutted when I saw that Shanae or Marae didn't e-mail me... Please send me something! Cuz Marae you just graduated from college and you didn't send se some pics... This was like the biggest weekend of your life!!! And Shananu, soccer tryouts... really? You didn't tell me all of the secrets about the girls? And what position you are playing and who made it and who didn't... Im disappointed in you girls... I expected better.... Nothing like a guilt trip. hehe >:) haha I love you anyways :) :)

   So the subject of my e-mail indicates that we saw a few miracles this week... And so it will be my pleasure telling you today all about them :)

   So at the start of this week we couldn't find anybody! We tried everything and nothing was happening. But that wouldn't get us down! So we continued in the hard work and we decided to stop by a less active/recent convert, whose name is Dom. We visited him and we decided to fast with him on Thursday. But come Thursday we had interviews with the President, and when we have interviews Sister Jordan bakes the most delicious brownies! And not only that the Zone Leaders bought muffins for everybody! So there we (Elder Harding and I) were faced with the biggest decision at the time... Do we brake our fast for the muffins and brownies? Or do we continue fasting with Our RC? After a few calls and prayers we decided to continue our fast, because not only were we fasting for our RC but also for new investigators. One of the toughest decisions of my life!! (Not really, but if you don't make something dramatic nobody will like the story.) So we fasted the whole day and we found a few people who could be interested, but then on Friday we began to see miracles!! :) So Friday after Weekly planning (from 10-12) we headed out to find people to teach and when we left we specifically prayed for somebody that would come to Church. And wouldn't you know it the first guy that we stop he asked us if he could come to church!!!! Like what??!!! So we taught him in the street and we even gave him a date right there in the street and he accepted!! :) #miracle 1

    Next one, Saturday night rolls around and we are walking back to the flat and we stop this mum and daughter and had a good gospel convo with them and they told us that they would come to church, but it almost seemed as if they were saying that just to get away from us... haha but they still said they would come to church. So that is a positive so that night we prayed like no other that they would come to church and wouldn't you know it around 10:30 Carol and Kalifa walk through the Church doors!! They stayed the whole time and during sacrament there was a speaker who was talking about how "coincidences" aren't really coincidences, if that makes sense. So we wrote her a note and asked, "Do you think it was a coincidence that we met you last night?" And she said, "No not at all." :)  WEHU!! So we scheduled a time to go over to their house on Thursday and also after Church on Sunday so she can cook us dinner :) :) Because she is from Jamaica so she will cook us Jamaican food :) Random Fact. If I ever meet somebody from a different culture I ask if they can cook us dinner so we can see what kind of food they eat. haha That way you can get into their home, teach them and get a free meal out of it. #cheekylittlemonkey :) #Miracle 2

    This one is especially for one of my favourite sisters :) So we had an appointment that fell through on Sunday night so we decided to tract the rest of the doors, and the first door that we knock on a lady named Evette opens up and we start talking about the Gospel and she says, "I will come to your Church, because I am looking for the true Church, and I have been just about everywhere and I haven't been able to find it..." So we expounded off of that for a bit, then we asked her what her 4 year old daughter's name was and she said, "Shanae." And I was blown away!!!! I was like NO WAY!!! THAT IS MY SISTERS NAME!! hahaha and by the way they are a black family.... So Shanae you have a black name! hahah That is saweet!! :) :) So you could say that made my day/week!! :) #Miracle 3

   So what I learned this week was that if you do all that you can do to make things happen the Lord will put hose who are prepared in your path to find them. Init amazing how all of these things happen? The first person we stop wants to be baptised, one of the last people we talk to at the end of a long day comes to Church, and the first door we knock on is pretty much related to me :) :) AYE! haha So Miracles definitely happen! And that is what keeps this work going forward. I have told you a lot and to be honest I am a bit wiped out... So those are my miracles for the week. Hope and pray that thes people will continue to grow and progress in this Gospel! I love you and hope that you have a wonderful week!

Love your favourite son,

<3 Dayton Wright

August 4th, 2014

   Oki dokie family! 

  I am well happy right now!! Oh my days!! I just love p-day e-mails! :) :) So the Wright Family reunion sounds gr8, everybody said it wasn't the same without me... Im sorry. Mal mal said something really positive though, she said"at least you will be at the next one." :) And how true that is! I can't wait to be reunited as a "Wright" Family and shake a tail feather or two :) Elder Harding and I were totes jealous about you lot going to Jackson Hole though. But we stayed strong and got to work despite our jealousy. :) 

   I don't really know exactly where to start or what to say so from here on out it is just strictly my thoughts and what I am thinking at this exact moment. >:) hehe So todya for P-day we went to Stevenage and played a bit of football and touch Rugby. And can I jsut say I wish rugby was bigger in the states! It is so much fun! Ugh. I love it! The weather has been well nice for the past 4 weeks or so. Been about 80-85 degrees and sunny so I am sappy. They are saying this week we are supposed to get a "heat wave" and it is supposed to hit 100 degrees!!! But you know how weather men are... They say we are supposed to have "2 feet of snow" but it snows 2 inches... So don't know if I believe them, but I shall let you know next week if I remember. >:) 

  We have a recent convert from Spain who taught us how to pray in Espanol! So thats pretty legit :) We teach her english and she teaches us spanish, because she needs help with her English to get a job. So we are trying our best to help her and in return we get a bit as well. Elder Harding doesn't like doing it, but I think it will be so effective when we meet somebody from spain and can just talk the gospel in some spanish and then pray with them in spanish they would be like, "This Church must be true! This little white kid just had the interpretation of tongues!! :) " haha 

   The "Luton" District could be doing a whole lot better. The other Elders just don't seem like they are living up to their potential, so we will see if we can't change that over the next three weeks. haha

  Random side tid bit, Caleb you are looking "swoll" if they still use that term over there... IDK but ya you are looking good mate! Keep it up :) 

   We found some solid people this week!! Yesterday we were fasting as a mission to get 50 baptisms this next month, and Elder Harding and I were fasting to find somebody to put on date this week. So last night we decided to tract for a few more minutes before we went and had dinner at 8 o clock and the last door we knocked on was "the one" :) Her name is Bebhen (pronounced beb-hen haha) She opened the door and said that she was a practicing Christian from Ireland, but Elder Harding and I weren't bothered so we just started teaching her the Restoration and she was very receptive to us and we are seeing her tonight with a RM from the Manchester Mission!! :) And we will extend a date to her for the 30th of August! :) We as a companionship are hoping and praying that we baptise 3 people this month and with it being a 5 weekend month it is most definitely possible :) So we are well excited for her! The next lady is named Suzanna. She is from Portugal (so maybe our Spanish will come in use... huh ;) ) and we knocked on her door she came out and said, "when you knowcked I knew it was you guys. You are a sign from God." And we were stunned! So we agreed with her and said, "Yes we are that sign that you were looking for, when can we meet with you?" So we are seeing her on Saturday with that RM. :) :) She probably won't get baptised till the winter, because she works 9 straight days then has a day off. And in order to get baptised you need to come to Church 3 times.... And during the winter she has three days off a week, so ya winter time is a good time! We might set a date for her in December... Who knows :) :) 

   So that was my life this week. Went on another exchange with Elder Davis, from American Fork. I asked if he know the Belnaps, but he said no... so that's that. I love going on exchanges though!!! YOu get to know the missionaries so much better and the week seems to fly by when you do it :) Oh Interviews are this week!! Which is when you get to talk to President Jordan by yourself for about 10 minutes. This is critical time as a missionary.... You get ten minutes with President Jordan and for some reason everytime I get talking to him I forget what I wanted to talk about... I always come out a bit gutted but anytime spent with Prezzy J is good enough with me :) #Igetwellnervous haha 

  But that is lyfe in Elda Wright's life. Going strong! Loving life, cannot get any better. Love it to bits :) : )<3 I just hope and pray that you lot get on as well as I do :) 

   Love ya like no other! Just to let you know, the Christmas card and a select few other pictures are hanging in my flat. That way I can see you beautiful faces everyday :) :) 

 Love,

Elder Dayton Wright <3
