Message From Presidente Dayton

A Successful Missionary
From time to time missionaries write or call me and express frustration
and disappointment because they have worked very hard, been very
obedient, and still havent been blessed with baptisms. They often
express concern that maybe they arent being a very successful
missionary. It is very important that missionaries in El Faro understand how
the Lord defines a successful missionary. Directly from Preach My Gospel
Chapter 1 is the answer to that question.
Your success as a missionary is measured primarily by your
commitment to find, teach, baptize, and confirm people and to help
them become faithful members of the church who enjoy the presence of
the Holy Ghost.
Avoid comparing yourself to other missionaries and measuring the
outward results of your efforts against theirs. Remember that people have
agency to choose whether to accept your message. Your responsibility is
to teach clearly and powerfully so they can make a correct choice.
Some may not accept your message even when they have received a
spiritual witness that it is true. You will be saddened because you love
them and desire their salvation. You should not, however, become
discouraged; discouragement will weaken your faith. If you lower your
expectations, your effectiveness will decrease, your desire will weaken,
and you will have greater difficulty following the Spirit.

Message From Presidente Dayton Cont.

You can know you have been a successful missionary when you:
1) Feel the Spirit testify to people through you.
2)

Love people and desire their salvation.

3) Obey with exactness.

4)

Live so that you can receive and know how to follow the spirit, who
will show you where to go, what to do, and what to say.

5)

Develop Christlike attributes.

6) Work effectively every day, do your very best to bring souls to

Christ, and seek earnestly to learn and improve.
7)

Help build up the Church (the ward) wherever you are assigned to
work.

8)

Warn people of the consequences of sin. Invite them to make and

keep commitments.

9)

Teach and serve other missionaries.

10) Go about doing good and serving people at every opportunity,

whether or not they accept your message.
When you have done your very best, you may still experience
disappointments, but you will not be disappointed in yourself. You can feel
certain that the Lord is pleased when you feel the Spirit working through you.
We feel so grateful to be surrounded by so many dedicated successful
missionaries in El Faro.
Con mucho amor,
Presidente Dayton

Message From Hermana Dayton

Attributes of Jesus Christ Patience

In Preach My Gospel we learn that ,"Patience is the capacity to endure

delay, trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated,
or anxious." When we are patient we hold up under pressure and are able
to face adversity calmly.
Job is the ultimate example of patience. The suffering he endured is
overwhelming. Job's seven sons and three daughters were killed, he lost all
of his herds and flocks, all but three of his herdsmen were killed. In job 1:2021 it says that Job "arose and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell
down upon the ground and worshipped. And said, Naked came I out of my
mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave and the Lord
taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Paul wrote "we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience,
experience, hope." Romans 5:3-4 Job blessed the Lord even after he lost
everything. We learn in the scriptures that the end result of glorying in
tribulation is that we experience the power of God's love through the power
of the Holy ghost. In the end, the Lord praised Job and rewarded him with
double of what he had taken from him.
In missionary work we can apply the principle of patience as we -1--Realize the final result of life's situations are in God's hands.
2--Realize that our investigators will all progress at different levels--some
take much longer.

3--Take time to listen and understand our companions.
4--Take the time when we pray to receive promptings...to listen for the Lord
to speak to us.
5--Wait for the Lord to answer our prayers in his timing.
6--As we endure trials and pain without becoming bitter.

President Monson said, "Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a
more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for
one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to
such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is
required." Patience-- A Heavenly Virtue--Ensign, Nov. 1995, pg 59.
President Dayton and I love you and feel grateful for how patient you have
been with us over the last two months as we have tried to learn our
responsibilities. We love you dearly and thank Heavenly father daily for the
opportunity to serve with you in bringing others to Christ.
Much Love and gratitude for each of you-Hermana Dayton

Christlike Attributes- Faith, Charity, Love, Virtue, Hope, Humility,

Knowledge & Wisdom, Patience

The Miracle of Baptism

We have see many
miracels like always here in
San Sebastin but one of
the most amazing by far has
to be the baptism of Maria!
Maria really is a testament
to the The words of the
Savor through Joseph Smith
saying that the field is white
and ready to harvest! Maria
contacted us on the street,
recognizing that we were
missionaries! We had talked
with her and found out that
she already knew the
church was true all she
needed was the
missionaries and the
directions to the church! I
feel like we haven't done
anything to say it was our
work the work really goes to
Heavenly Father for
preparing the heart of
Maria and to her for being
ready to receive the gospel!
Like always there were
some difficulties with her
work and so we had to
postpone the baptism for
four weeks but amazingly
thought the miracles we see
we were able to meet with
her and accomplish all
three things the interview
baptism and confirmation in
one day! She doesn't have
a lot of time and so we
knew we needed to take
advantage of the time
when we had it!

You are awesome thanks

for coming to the Baptism of
Matt, I'm sure you have a
very filled schedule. Matt is
doing great he is a priest
and the ward is working to
help him Bene home
teacher to the few people
that speak English in the
ward and to be an English
teacher possible for the self
sufficient classes. I am doing
well and it's been a great
week.
WE SAW A BAPTISM!!!
Delia was baptized!!!! It was
so amazing to see how
incredibly prepared she was
to take this step and follow
the Savior. She had come
to church three times, and
this week we went over
everything and prepared
her, and she was so ready!!
The miracle.....the
difference from when I met
her, being hardly able to
talk because of sorrow and
grief, and later throughout
the teaching process, poco
a poco seeing the Spirit
touch her soul and help her
understand the Plan of
Happiness, to her baptism
and confirmation day!! She
showed up early to her
baptism and was just
beaming, a pesar de her
load and burden and
worries. It was another

testimony to me that there

are prepared people in
EVERY area, and most of
them have been placed
around the members. All we
have to do is open our
mouths, invite, and share
the love and Gospel of the
Savior!

The Miracle of Baptism

What a spectacular
weekend! Thank you so
much for coming and
supporting Mireia in her
baptism on Saturday. She
was so happy to see
everyone there and I was
glad so many people were
there to support her. She is
doing amazing in her
spiritual progress. I have
never seen someone so
prepared before and it is
because she as so many
different member
influences, and more
importantly, has been
keenly receptive to the spirit
and acted on the
promptings she has felt. The
baptism and the
confirmation both went very
well and she loved every
minute of both. One of the
biggest miracles besides the
actual baptism was that her
parents came! The whole
week she had been telling
us that no one in her family
was going to come to
support her, which was sad
because i knew how
important it would be for
her to have her family there
supporting her, and so we
were praying hard
everyday so that at least
her mom could come. And
with a big miracle, not only
did her mom come, but her
dad came too! Now our
