Brother Dayton

Tonight we had the pleasure of having brother Dayton over for dinner. Can I just say that I haven't met ANYONE ever like him before. The whole 3 hours he was here he told us stories of his life. I haven't sat down with anyone and just talked about life before. It was good, really, really good. He is one of the most amazing man I have met in my life. He told us the greatest stories, and then he would say "oh that remindes me of when I...I will have to tell you that story one day. Well here I go..." and he would tell us another wonderful story about when he and his amazing wife Leann would travel. They wern't just travelling stories, they were life lessons and I just wished that I was recording it all. He was telling us about how he was excited to go to the spirit world and reunite with his wife and have the oppertunity to be in the mission field for eternity. Some of the stories he told broke my heart and others made my smile for 10 minuets. One of the last stories he told us was about how every night he would go out and talk to his wife before he went to bed. He would tell her about what he did that day, and all the happy stuff that is going on. He said that he never talked about upsetting things to her. He said it was one of the ways that he could feel comforted without her. I teared up, a lot. I was just so thankful that he was able to come over tonight! He made me understand things about the gospil a whole lot better and I could even feel the spirit the whole time he was here. I feel like I was blessed to hear about Brother Dayton's life stories. Thank you Brother Dayton.
