Elder Dayton holding the Olympic Torch!

Elder Dayton holding the Olympic Torch as it passed through his area. (He claims it is the torch although we can not see the flame:) )

Elder Dayton at Powell River


Well, I truly can not believe my little bro has been out in the mission field for over 18 months now and that he will be home in July! We have really enjoyed hearing of his experiences in British Columbia, Canada. He is currently serving in Powell River, which is an inlet off the coast of British Columbia and can only be traveled to by Ferry. He spends a lot of his time on the ocean traveling to Vancouver and the Islands. He has been able to serve in this area of Canada at an exciting time with the building of the Vancouver Temple, which is close to completion, and the 2010 Winter Olympics! In his email today he sent us some pictures. The first one is of him holding the Olympic Torch. The Torch passed through Powell River last Tuesday night and as Elder Dayton and Elder Mori watched it passed the runner yelled "Hey missionaries, do you want to hold the torch". They got this picture with the torch and Taylor even got to wear the guys Olympic jacket. Anyway, we love Taylor so much and are so grateful for his example serving the Lord. He has such an amazing testimony and his experiences are great testimony builders for us as well. We pray that he continues to have a safe, successful, and happy mission. We love you bud, keep up the good work!
