Service in the quorum

Spencer knows Dayton loved the triathlon. He could tell from the smile on his face. But he also knows Dayton is happy whenever the members of their quorum include him, so as their quorum leader, he is always encouraging them to serve one another.

"These boys are not inhibited by Dayton at all," Sherrine Hayward says. "They're not afraid or intimidated. They all really want to serve, and Spencer shows the boys that it's not hard; it's easy to serve."

And that service goes both ways, as Dayton also serves the members of his quorum by teaching them. "Dayton is a true pleasure to be around because he may not talk but you can sure feel the Spirit when you are around him," says quorum member Ryan Smith.

"Dayton has been a good friend to me because he has taught me a bunch of life lessons," Spencer says. "He's taught me that you can do hard things no matter what your circumstances are. You can be just like everybody else."
