Alma 34: 32-34

   Family.
 If you could real fast turn to Alma 34.32-34 this is a wonderful scripture that talks about the purpose of life Are you all there? Okay here it is,
" 32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.
 33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
34 Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world."
 Did all of you read the whole thing? ha I know what you probably did you started reading it then you thought lets just skip to the end when he explains everything, that way we don't have to read it..... Caught you. So if you didn't read it, please take the time now to read it  
Now explanation, in verse 32 it talks about the importance of life. The only reason for it is to prepare to meet God. That's it, nothing else. So if there is one thing that you should be doing right now and you're not, do it. There is nobody stopping you but yourself. I challenge everybody who reads this to read Alma chapter 5. Best chapter ever! And do it prayerfully as well. But just to give you a sneak peak here is a few of my favourite verses from it.
 "16 I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?
 17 Or do ye imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and say—Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you?" 
Boom. powerful stuff. I try my very hardest in life just so when that day comes The Lord can look at me and say, "Come unto me ye blessed..." Can't you just imagine him saying that as well? I imagine him with open arms and the warmest most welcoming smile you could ever see. It truly does bring tears to my eyes... But now look at verse 17. When we stand before the lord we are going to remember absolutely everything we have ever done wrong. Everything. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. And that to me is a scary thought. My advice to you, think if you were to die right now, would you be guilty, or would he say unto you, "Come unto me ye blessed..." If you feel guilty for something right now.... CHANGE IT! As a missionary you see people change their life for the better, like Debbie and Shannon (I will talk about them later), and it brings yourself more joy than you can imagine. Now can you imagine the joy the Lord will have with you if you were to change your life around? Three words for you, JUST DO IT. Change. Ya, sure it may be tough, but it will be worth it, and I can promise you as one of his faithful servants that your life will be better as well. I cannot stress this enough so I will stop and go onto my week  
Debbie and Shannon- Thanks for your prayers. It worked. I know it did. After the "break up" that we had we didn't see her for two days. Which is a long time for us! So we get a text from her two days later that says, "I miss you twos when are you coming around." Oh what joy filled my soul when I saw that text!!!  haha So we went over to her house and she was a changed women. For some odd reason, she didn't bring up what happened on Sunday, she moved on and she is now back on track! #PraisetheLord! The only sad thing is that it's transfers this week and I think that I might leave, and not see her get baptised.... Hopefully if I leave President will let me come baptise her. Her new date is for the 30th of November! She has been taught everything the only thing she needs help with is the W.o.W. She smokes only one a day. Which is so good, but its not good enough... haha But I know that through our faith that she will be able to over come it all  
So on Friday night we had a "Drinking Chocolate Night" in our flat complex.... And it went so well   ha Like who knew? WE have about 40 flats in our flat complex, so on Monday of last week we sent around flyers and 5 people came, I know only 5 came, but every body who came we now have an appointment with. So moral of the story creative finding works. Do it. As well with creative finding, about 2 months back we did Side walk chalk, and drew out the Plan of Happiness and now Elders in Dunstable are going to have a baptism on the 22nd because of it   Creative Finding, I am telling you, its the future of missionary work  ha Cool story huh? 
If you pray (plead) for one thing tonight let it be this, Michael Veronica, Danya, and Annaya. Who are a wonderful family that came to Church yesterday. They said it was a bit long, but can you blame them? ha I mean you got half of the High Priests bobbing their head around the room... haha  So we teach them tomorrow and they are praying about the Book Of Mormon and they NEED an answer so please pray for them!!!  Cheers. 
Alright, sorry about my sermon. ha Actually not really, but hope you enjoyed it. And hope you have a great week   I love you more than you can imagine and you are constantly the last thing on my mind right before I go to bed! Love you and have a wonderful week  
Much Love,
Elder Dayton Wright 

Happy Birthday GMA

 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!!

October 20, 2014

Fam.
  Whats good?! How's the autumn time treating all yall? The pictures mum sent were wonderful! To be honest the only reason why I am looking forward to coming home next year is to see Keo. Not Frenchie. Just Keo. Frenchie is a diva, and really annoying. :) And then there is Keo who is full of life and just goes with the flow :) Keo > Frenchie.:) I am sorry to hear that Shananu lost her game, but you win some, you lose some, you just hope you win more than you lose. But don't you worry girlfriend next year when I am coaching with Steiner and Castle we will go all the way baby! :) haha The football game looked sooo much fun. Ugh. I miss going to those with you Poppy! It was a real nail bitter as well, that's always a plus :) Don't you worry though, next year we will go to one, just like the "good ol days" :) 
Alrigh fam, so there is a song that describes exactly how I feel, and it goes like this.... 
 I am so blessed. I have more than I deserve, I thank god for all I have been given at the end of every dayyyy, I am so blessed. -forgot. (some country singer.) ha But these few lines describe exactly how I feel. I feel blessed and humbled. We have had unusual success lately and it humbles me. ha That sounds as if we never have success, but we definitely are always successful just these past few weeks have been brilliant! :) haha 
    So last week as you all know we had David's baptism which was great and we had 5 people at Church. Which is a pant load for us. I think the most my companion and I have ever had is two and that is throughout my whole mission experience. Soo... I am so blessed. 
   This week though, was smashing! You know how Debbie is petrified of water? Well we talked to her about baptism and why she needs to be baptised and she accepted a date for the 15th of November, and she will receive the Holy Ghost on the 16th :) :) B.D.E. for that reason and another one. Their faith is improving so so so much! They came to Church again yesterday, that's three weeks in a row, they thought it was a bit long, but the primary did their programme and it was lovely! It reminded me of back at home how all the kids(Tate Anderson mostly) would always be up there waving at their parents and making silly faces, goodness, it's too great! I love the primary children! :) So they enjoyed that, and as well during the programme Debbie received a "witness" of why she needs to be baptised! They were talking about temples and baptisms for the dead and sadly her dad has passed away and she really wants to know if she can be with him again, so when the primary kids were talking about this the spirit touched her soul!! :) WEHU! I call it a wehu bar, you know like WEHU! :-) So that's Debbie and Shannon. We see them everyday and life is good with them. Oh by the way a miracle happened with them. Their cousin is a member of the Church :) Booyaa Baby! 
   We have this investigator that we meant on the street, by just offering him a free Book of Mormon and he said, 
Yes!
So we were like "Wait, why would you like it?"
Dan said, "Because it talks about God, right?"  
Yes, Yes it does. Do you have a belief in God? 
Then he went on to explain how he has this belief In God and all of that good stuff. But what really caught our attention was he only has one arm. So we taught him about the resurrection and it really touched him, so we set up an appointment to see him on Saturday.
Saturday comes along and no "one arm Dan." (that's what we call him hehe) #gutted.
That night we text Dan and say, "We will see you at Church tomorrow at 10. ya?".... No response. 
get to Church, 9.30 we receive a text from Dan saying, "I am by Stockwood park. Come pick me up." 
Boy were we buzzin! We headed to the park, but it took us 45 minutes to find him, but when we found him he brought his mother and father! :) :) #iamsoblessed So we talked about what would happen at Church as we walked and when we got there they loved it! The mum was participating in our Gospel Principles class, they loved the primary programme, just everything went great! :) It truly was a miracle, because we have been praying to find a 2nd counsellor for our bishopric, because there are not enough Priesthood men for one. And you never know Tony (Dan's Dad) just might be the one :) :) Yaa buddy! #humbled. 
   For two weeks in a row now, we have had five investigators at Church! Geez... That's crazy! Now you know why I feel so blessed, because it truly is more than what we deserve. But you best believe in every prayer (which is about 20 plus a day) we thank Him for everything. If there is one thing I have learned its that you need to rely on the Lord for everything. And not just ask for something, but ask specifically. We didn't just want any family, we wanted a family, with a "normal" dad who could be a 2nd counsellor... And you never know with the Lord's help we may have stumbled upon him :) Crazy! 
But yes this week has been lovely! Our companionship is doing great! I love the people we are teaching, but most of all "I am so blessed, I have more than I deserve, I thank God for all I have been given at the end of every dayyyy! I am so blessed." :) Thank you family and friends for all that you do! It's because of your prayers and your support that Miracles are happening in Luton :) Cheers. 
Love you! Have a wonderful week! 
Love,
Elda Dayton Wright

Mumsie Popsicle


   My dearest mumsie and popsicle, -Wicked
 Lets start with the one and only Shananu! Happy frekin late birthday! AHAHAH that blows my mind that you are now 17... Kinda hate it actually but whatevs. what can I do? You looked g-r-8 in your dance get up :) that dress was very suiting for the time of year :) point for you! I definitely got some b-e-a-utiful sisters :) Keep it up and good luck at state! KICK TIMPANOGAS' bootaaae! Be on them like white on rice, be on it like a car bonnet, Nothing gets past you. you got that?! :) cool.
Seems like the rest of the fam is doing well. :) Nothing to really complain about. So cheers for that. Now its on to me. (Im prideful)  
 We have had a stupendous week! It flew by, I don't even know where the time has gone... I think that's a good thing though :) haha We had many miracles and wonderful things happen in Lovely Luton this week! First off the baptism... WEHU! GET IN SON!
David's baptism went over so so so well :) Elder Nielson baptised him, and did a wonderful job! My little son is all grown up *tearing up :) I will definitely send you some pictures, because he took some and I sent them to my e-mail that way you could see them. See how thoughtful I am to you lot? Aren't I the best? haha Funny story about David, so we bought him a white shirt and a tie and give it to him the day before his baptism and right when we gave it to him he rushed into the room, threw everything on, grabbed a Book of Mormon, and started preaching to us! Saying "My good brudda's I testify that this book is true. You need to read and pray about it!" haha And he was preaching to his friends! It was well funny :) :) So that' David.
   Debbie and Shannon.
   Good ol Debs and Shannon. They are wicked! We connect so well, it seems as if we have been best friends all of our life and only 2 weeks ago we started teaching them. We go over to their house every day. And it makes every day worth it! Every time we come over she says, "Even if this day was the worst day of my life all I have to do is open that door, see your smiling faces, and all of my worries go away! Thanks for being my guardian angles" :) Cute innit? haha They are so good. So this week Shannon (who is the 15 year old daughter) received her answer that the BoM is true and that God is there! WEHU! She was so excited! She doesn't really know what that means but we are slowly opening up her mind to what it means. Every time we go over there the spirit is so dang strong! They will get baptised really soon. The only problem is Debbie is petrified of water. Full stop. She won't get in. She came to david's baptism and the whole time she was like, "No way! I feel ill right now. There is no way I am getting into that water." And I turned and said, "GET IN THE WATER!.... Babe, please get in the water?" -Notebook I actually said Don't worry Deb if we have to knock you out to get you in that water we will. hahah :) Seriously I would do anything to baptise her. She knows it needs to be done. So one way or another it will be done. If we have to use force, so be it. haha So that's them. I believe the only reason I am in Luton is for this family. So ya that's pretty cool innit? :)
   Yesterday we had five people at church. Five. Oh My DAYS! That is a butt load. In my whole mission I have never had that many people at church! For some reason this week, everything just worked out! It was the best feeling ever. But the whole time Elder Nielson and I were so stressed! After Church we just sat down for 5 minutes to take deep breaths to recollect our selves.
So  we had Debbie and Shannon at Church. They thought it was okay, just really long, which I don't really blame them. It was there first time at Church.
David who was Baptismed. :) haha
Joan- Who is just like G'ma File. THe only difference is this Joan is a bit cookoo in the head. haha
John- Who we met Saturday night and invited him to come, so he did. ha We even set his alarm on his phone. That was pretty cool. Story about it. When he came he smelt like alcohol and fags. He told us that he had been up til about 3 smoking and drinking. But one of the best quotes I have heard is, "The best smell you can smell in sacrament meeting is alcohol and smoke, because you know people are trying to change their lives." Pretty great quote innit? ha But that doesn't mean you can go out every weekend and just start smoking and living up the weekends. ha In the words of colonel Hall, "DON'T DO DUMB THINGS" haha
  Ya life is good family. I say this every week but I will continue to say it. I LOVE MY MISISON! It's the best thing that I have done. Thanks for constantly being there and being so supportive. Means the world! Love yous to bits!
Love,
Elder Dayton Wright

DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?

   Dear Family,
 Sounds like the whole lot is doing well :) Going to concerts, football games, school, just living life really. Good stuff. ha Can you believe its already General Conference this weekend?! GET IN SON! This weekend is going to the best weekend ever!!! :) :) :) You best believe we are inviting everybody and their cats to General Conference! Who else can say they have a modern day prophet on the Earth,... Nobody. And that is what is so special about our Church! I freakin love it!! Cool. Enough about that.
   Okie dokie. This week... Whoa. What a week. 
   I believe it is story time. >:) 
   Here we go. 
   Monday.
   After writing you and talking about "What about Bob" and what have ya, we went to teach this family who is comprised of a mum and twins. The twins are 13 years old and wee lil lads. haha (I don't talk like that.) We went to their house with our Ward Mission Leader and taught the best lesson ever!! We shared with her "Hope of God's Light" and oh my days! The spirit was so strong and so we invited her to be baptised on the 26th of October and she accepted!!!! :) :) Geeezzz. Kip. WE FOUND A FAMILY! And the way we found her is a testimony of how you need to be exactly obedient on your mission! So we were on the bus about 2 weeks ago and Elder Nielson and I sat down, and across from us was this mother with a son. And inside of me I was having a little angel and devil moment. The angel was saying, you need to talk to these people. And the devil was saying, You are way too tired there is no reason to talk to them, you have been rejected all day. Just one won't matter. But I am happy to say I chose the angel and that was the best decision of my life! hahah When we first talked to her she said, "I am not interested in God." So we being cheeky lil monkeys said, "That's okay we are sharing a message about strengthening families, would you be interested" And so she agreed for us to come over. :) Angel >>> Devil. A little side fact she even cancelled our first appointment. But don't you worry we followed up and now she is getting baptised!! FOLLOW UP! :) And she even came to Church on Sunday and she is coming to G.C. as well :) You best believe when we came out of that lesson we were thinking.... Whoa. Did that just happen? 
   Next.
   This story starts about two months ago. Elder Harding and I stopped this mother and a daughter who were walking there dogs and for some reason we immediately clicked. We started talking about God, but she was not interested in the slightest, but we still scheduled to go meet with them. And for about six weeks straight we made appointments, we got there, with a member, and they were not in. And so on Saturday we just stopped by with a member, because a different appointment cancelled. hahah  So we get there and she is outside, and I was thinking, "AHA we got you now!" hehe But after doing a bit of chit chat we were welcomed to come inside and watch a quick video. And guess what Mormon message we watched for somebody who doesn't believe in God? HOPE OF GODS LIGHT. :) Best video ever! And while we were watching she started to cry.Afterwards we asked why she was crying, and she was being so tough to crack. She was saying things like, I don't know. Just feel like I want to. But we testified that what she felt was the spirit. Then she slowly started to open up. She then asked, "Why does God take all the good people?" "He took my dad, mum, and a few others. Why doesn't he take the murderers and those people?"  Then we testified of life after death and I threw in the Kalena experience which is always a tear jerker. And oh my days! The spirit was just so strong! We invited her to Church but she declined. But we are going to see her tonight! And she is sooo good! She would make such a good member of the Church! And her daughter is asking questions like, "How do I come to know that God is there?" And just brilliant questions like that, and so tonight we are going to try to answer their questions, invite them to G.C. and to be baptised on the 26th of October! Please pray for us, and pray that the spirit is as strong as it was last time. Because the spirit the first time was so strong you could practically grab it. It was almost as if it was thick... don't even know if this is making sense, but it was crazy! And after the lesson Elder Nielson and I looked at each other and we were in amazement and thought, "Whoa. Did that just happen?" 
  Some remarkable things are happening in Luton. The Lord's hand is being revealed to us. It's amazing. To be honest though, its more humbling than anything. And to think that I might leave this area next transfer is sad. Transfers are next week already! Time flies! And Elder Nielson and I are prophesying that I am leaving.... So if you are sending post, make sure to send it no later than tomorrow. K. cool. Love you. 
   The more you pray for things to happen the more it does. I don't know if that is because you are looking for it more so, but I think that is one of the ways God shows his love for us. If we just simply ask for something we will get it. "Ask and ye shall receive." Its just that simple. If you want something ask. Then do all that you can do to get it, and the Lord will make up the rest. :) 
  I love you family. Stay strong. don't doubt. Have faith. Do something spontaneous this week. Do something that helps your spirits grow.
  keep calm and read the Book of Mormon. :) 
I love you! 
Love,
Elder Dayton Wright

GQ Missionaries






Dayton and his Companion in Luton England...Looking GQ as always!!! Somethings never change!!

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!
