Message From Presidente Dayton

Whether By Mine Own Voice or by the Voice

of My Servants It is the Same
What a special experience we have had this last week when we were visited by a
special emissary of the Lord Jesus ChristElder Tim J Dyches. As Hermana Dayton and I
were privileged to work closely with him and Sister Jill Dyches for 4 consecutive days, we
were left with some very powerful, personal impressions. First, they are gracious, kind,
common people who have that great gift of making you feel comfortable in their
presence. Second, their dedication to their stewardship is unmistakable. I wondered
how they keep the same level of energy week after week, month after month, Mission
Tour after Mission Tour. And yet, there they were, preaching, teaching and guiding us
with vigor, enthusiasm and wisdom as if we were their first conference. Third, they are
deeply spiritual teachers whose personal life is reflected in the radiant countenance
they manifested. The Lord makes it very clear in D & C 1:38 that, ..whether by mine
own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
They taught so many things in such a short time I was astounded. Hermana Dayton
and I presented our messages on just a couple of topicstime management, planning,
and inviting and committing . The breadth and expanse of the topics they covered in
a few hours almost takes your breath away. I am listing them below for your review and
to remind you that we have been taught by a servant of our Heavenly Father and it
you accept the premise in the scripture above, we would be wise to listen because it is
as if the Lord himself were talking to us. I testify that we will flourish and be successful as
a mission to the degree we try to follow and emulate what they have taught us. The
topics they covered either briefly or in greater detail included:
1. Saying thank you with an origami shirt
21. Effective Use of the Chapel Tour
2. Keeping the Area Book up to date
22. Write Down What I will Study in
3. Teach with the Spirit
Personal Study Time
4. Create Your Own Weather
23. God Controls This Work
5. Treat Members with Great Love
24. Christ-like Attributes Bring us to
6. We Can Do Hard Things
Christ.
7. How to Be a Master Teacher
25. Have Revelatory Experiences
8. We dont commit peoplethey do!
26. Everything for the Lord
9. Dont make excusesown up to your choices 27. Our Choices Bring Consequences

10. Do Companionship Inventory effectively

11. Be Prepared to Give a 3 Minute Testimony
12. When Training Show Them How to Find
Answers
13. Decide on Your Next Lesson Right after the
Present One
14. Wise Decisions Bring Forth Blessings
15. Make Our Declaration of the 1st Vision More
Powerful
16. Dont be Afraid of Hard Work
17. Our Personal Study Time is Unique and
Special
18. Go the Extra Mile Because We Can, Not
Because We Have To
19. How to Use the Ward Mission Leader
Effectively
20. Do Effective Practicas in Companion Study

28. Being an Agent not An Object

29. Simplify, Clarify, Verify, Testify
30. Being Minister to the One
31. Prayer is Actually Talking to God
32. Sharing Your Testimony in
Sacrament Meeting
33. Importance of Church
Attendance
34. The Value and Power of
Scripture Memorization
35. Improve Companionship
Study
36. Center on the Investigators
Needs
37. Think of the Savior During
Sacrament

As you read this list, are you not astounded by the volume and sheer extent of what
was covered. Only a master teacher could teach this much this quickly and be
effective. I know that every one of you may have been touched by different parts of
what he presented. If you had powerful spiritual impressions that you need to improve
something or work on something personally, that is the Holy Ghost telling you to focus on
the thing about which you have the impression. Act on it! Do something about it!
Improve it!
I was so proud of our El Faro missionaries as Elder Dyches entered the chapel and
saw the dignity, beauty and spiritual power of this great, unrelenting missionary force.
Both Hermana Dayton and I were moved to tears and could barely speak as we saw
you and were overcome with the great love we feel for you. May the Lord bless all of us
to take the parts of his teachings that the Holy Ghost told us to emphasize and make
them better, stronger, more spiritual, more pure. We have been taught by a chosen
emissary of the Lordshall we not obey!
Inspirado por un buen maestro,
Presidente Merril T Dayton

Message From Hermana Dayton

Hospitality vs. Unfriendliness

Hospitality is cheerfully sharing food, shelter or conversation. It is using what our

Heavenly Father has given us to demonstrate His love for others. Hospitality is a concern
for the welfare of others.
Hospitality should be a natural response for us because we love the Savior and desire
to serve Him. King Benjamin reminds us that "when ye are in the service of your fellow
beings ye are only in the service of your God" Mosiah 2:17. "Verily, I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto
me." Matthew 25: 35-40 The scriptures also remind us that we should cheerfully serve. In
1 Peter 4:9 , "Use hospitality one to another without grudging."
The Savior taught us about hospitality when he said, "When thou makest a dinner or a
supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors;
lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest
a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for
they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the
just." Luke 14:12-14. On one experience, Peter's mother in law was ill. Because of Peter's
hospitality, the Savior raised her up to good health. Matthew 8:14-15.
I have a strong testimony that as we serve others, as we give to the poor and help
those who truly are in need, the Lord blesses us with peace and insights that far surpass
anything we ever give to the less fortunate. For many years, our family joined with other
families in our community and traveled to Mexico and Honduras to build homes and
schools for the less fortunate. As we returned home, I saw changed attitudes and
feelings of each of my children. They returned with an overwhelming sense of gratitude
for all they had been blessed with, a greater love for others, and a greater desire to
serve others. They experienced true joy and feelings of peace and gratitude and were
more willing to give of their time and talents to bless others. Today we have many

choice memories of those experiences as we learned Gospel truths and were able to
help those in need..
Every day you as missionaries are being hospitable. You are in the streets sharing the
Love and Light of the Savior. As people are attracted to you they learn of the Gospel
and we are able to bring them closer to the Savior. True hospitality is being an example
of the Savior in our character--living it each day so others will desire to have the joy we
have because of the truths of the Gospel we live.
We can apply hospitality to missionary work by:
--Praying for the spirit of hospitality
--Sharing what we have with our companions, investigators, and others with no thought
of getting something in return
--Inviting others to share a meal with us
--During conversations, focusing on the interests of the guest and praising them for their
goodness instead of talking about ourselves
--Having a peaceful atmosphere in our apartments to welcome guests (appropriate
music, a harmonious spirit, clean and organized, pictures of the savior, temples, etc.)
--Asking questions to develop good relationships and friendships--making others feel
important
--Making people feel comfortable in our presence, helping them feel like they have
entered a safe harbor
President Dayton and I have been impressed with your Christlike love and genuine
hospitality you manifest as you share the Gospel with others. You exemplify the words
from the song "Because I Have Been Given Much" Thank you for your goodness and
desire to bless the lives of the good people here in Spain.
Much love, gratitude and admiration,

Hermana Dayton

The Miracle of Baptism

The miracle this last week

would be the baptism of
Abel. He truly is converted
and will be a great help to
the branch of __. Well
president thanks for giving
me the opportunity to serve
in ___ I learned a lot. I love
you and hope you have a
good week.
Baptism!!!!!! Andrea got
baptized. We had a beautiful
service early Saturday
morning. There was so much
support from all of the
members. She had her uncle,
Miguel Gomez, baptize her
and it truly was a special
event to witness. Towards the
end of the service she bore a
strong testimony of baptism
and the love of Christ that
she has felt. I'm so grateful for
the opportunity to help her
on her path of growth in the
Kingdom of God. Just to think
that it all started because her
cousin had enough courage
to mention her beliefs to her.

The miracle this week was

that we had a triple baptism.
It was the first family that I
have baptized and it was
super great to see everyone
smiling and happy. Each of
them were happy and that
makes me happy haha. All
I'm here for is to serve the
people and help them be
happy and change their lives
