Lessons from Dad

Father's Day was celebrated in the U.S. today and it has caused me to reflect on
my wonderful father and the great lessons he taught me in life. The Proclamation on
the Family makes it very clear that faithful, loving fathers are a part of our Heavenly
Father's plan. In any society where there are loving, dutiful, kind, spiritual fathers,
families are stronger, divorce is less common, crime occurs less frequently, and the
family unit is healthy and well. Since the family unit is the basic unit of society, when it
is healthy the society is healthy. Thus dads are important and dads are necessary. I
know that many of you will reflect on your own fathers as you read this and my hope
is that you will all make a special attempt to recognize your fathers and express your
love for them tomorrow on Preparation Day. Tell them how grateful you are for a
good father who taught you correctly and helped you be a person of integrity and
character. Let him know how much his life has influenced yours. Thank him for being
a man of faith who influenced you to go on a mission. While the Mission doesn't allow
you to call home on Father's Day, it doesn't mean that fathers aren't every bit as
important in the Lord's plan. The Lord lets us know that honoring our fathers is
important when he gave the 10 Commandments telling us to, "Honour thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth
thee." (Exodus 20:12) Of all of the topics he could have included in the 10
Commandments, honoring your father was deemed so important it was included in
the most basic law given to man.
S. Reed Dayton was my dad. He was fairly short at about 5'8" and was quite stocky
in his build. He never went to college, he never got a graduate degree, he never
became a man of letters and he was truly self-educated. Despite the lack of formal
education, Dad went on to become a bishop for 25 years, a stake president for 13
years, a mission president in Las Vegas, Nevada, and a stake patriarch. He became
president of the local school board and a state senator. He was influential in the
community and had a profound impact on the development of my little hometown
of Cokeville Wyoming. (I learned that the individual and his drive and hard work is
more important than any other factor) Dad was a hard worker and the highest

compliment you could pay someone in his era was, "Boy, you sure are a hard worker!" (I
learned how to work hard from him). He was disciplined, always going to bed right at
10:30 PM and always getting up at 5:30 AM (I learned discipline from him). I never met
anyone who could outwork him. He was completely honest and without guile. The
people in my home town knew that the promise of S. Reed Dayton was as good as a
formal contract because he would never break it (I learned complete and total honesty
from him). Dad was smart and made a number of wise business decisions while running
a 2,000 acre cattle ranch and milking 40-50 milk cows night and morning (I learned to
use my mind and common sense from him). Dad was fairly sparing in praise, but when
he praised you, you could be sure you deserved it (I learned to be genuine and real
from him). He was deeply spiritual and the gospel meant everything to him.
He studied the scriptures daily for most of his life and became a magnificent
scriptorian (There is no doubt my spiritual persona and love of the gospel are because
of him). Dad was kind and considerate of people and always felt that people were
more important than programs or "things" (I learned kindness and respect for other
people from Dad). Dad was a realist and called a spade a spade; there was no
beating around the bush for him (my ability to be frank and real came from him). I
never once heard my father utter a swear word (swearing is not a part of my
vocabulary because of him).
I owe so much to my short, wonderful, Wyoming-rancher dad. I know he is on the
other side looking down at me tonight as I write this. So I will take this opportunity to say,
"Thanks Dad for everything you have done for me. So much of what my life has
become is because of you. I love you and think of you often and hope I can become
half the man your were. Tell Mom hi for me. Happy Father's Day!"
Con amor y gratitud paternal,
President Merril T Dayton

Message From Hermana Dayton

Deference vs. Offensiveness

Deference is putting the welfare of others ahead of our own personal pleasures. It
is making personal sacrifices to help others be successful and putting off words,
attitudes, or actions that would cause others to be offended or weakened. It is
deferring when it will benefit building the kingdom and bringing others closer to the
Savior.
When Paul instructed believers to prefer one another in honor, he defined the
essence of deference. He said, "Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not
blamed." 2 Corinthians 6:3. After he taught that we should not give offense to the
Jews, the Gentiles nor the church of God he states his own commitment to deference,
"Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of
many that they might be saved." 1 Corinthians 10:33.
When we defer to others, we experience the paradox spoken of by the Savior,
"Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be the servant of all. Mark 10:44. With the
words we speak, we can build someone up or tear them down. We should always be
aware of others and consider how our words affect them. It is important that we never
spread rumors or gossip, that we never build our self up by putting another person
down, that we avoid laughing at jokes that belittle others, and that we always use
appropriate language. If we are upset with a person, we can go directly to the person
and resolve the situation peacefully, using terms like, "when you did this it made me
FEEL..." Discussing feelings in a peaceful, loving way can bring us closer to others.
Controlling our speech shows strong character and helps us be successful in life.
Manners are very important in helping others feel comfortable around us.
Some important reminders as we eat with others, always chew with your mouth

closed, swallow before talking, use a napkin to wipe your mouth, and never burp. We
should speak politely, saying, "please, thank you, please pass the peas, etc. We
should always serve others before ourselves and we should take small portions if there
is a limited amount of food. Deference is showing others the true meaning of self
denial. President George Washington once said, "Every action in company ought to
be with some sign of respect to those present."

We can apply deference in missionary work by:

Speaking

with kind, uplifting language to our companions, ward members,

investigators and others.
Refraining from any disobedient activity in order to be a role model for other
missionaries.
Showing respect to leaders by obeying and not talking back or talking behind their
backs.
Respecting the feelings of our companions, ward members, and other missionaries.
Wearing modest clothing to not offend others.
Keeping our apartments clean, organized with uplifting pictures on the wall, soft
music, etc.
Speaking well of others of their culture, race, or ethnic group with words that will not
offend.
Understanding and following protocol of the people in Spain.
Using good manners at the table and wherever we are.
We are grateful for the example you are in our mission. We notice good table
manners and the way you speak and interact with each other and leaders in your
areas. Thank you for your obedience and diligence in bringing others to the Savior.
