SECOND EMAIL FROM TY... Since he has been in Canada!!

HEY!
so im thinking, is it alright if i just send one email to mom and dad then they can forward it to everybody? Because everyone basically wants to know the same stuff haha. My comp is tight, we get along way good. His name is Elder Riggs. We are definitely having ups and downs teaching right now. ups by having awesome dinner appointments and member lessons. I love all the members in the brooks ward. they are so cool. everyone is so friendly. I just sit and talk with them forever after dinner or the lesson. it is fun! But downs meaning we still have no investigators. all day we truck around trying to find potentials. but NOBODY answers their door. everyone works during the day. so its a struggle. But it does make it better when we get to meet with the members. we have two member lessons tonight which should be good! Yes we do have a truck, its nice knowing we wont get stuck in the snow, but there are few trucks in the mission. and whoever has the cleanest car at zone conference (dec 1st) gets whatever car they want. which the truck is normally taken. so we might not get it anymore. we are crossing our fingers. The apartment isnt to bad. it kinda reminds me of the little yellow house we stayed in. just smaller. today was cleaning and i made my comp clean tons. i did a lot to. i even cleaned the bathroom. it was disgusting. so bad i volunteered to clean it just so that i knew would be clean.We got invited to a hockey game tonight, but we cant go because of member lessons. but its ok there will be other oppertunities. we have to take every oppertunity we get to get the members to help out with finding us potentials. and teaching them a lesson is the best way.
Devin says he is jealous of me being out here. haha waas that really him typing, or rachel typing for him?
Terr and Jer, do some skiing for me in Granby. I have never missed skiing so much.
Dusty and somm. Chance is hilarious. I honestly started laughing when i read that he was peeing on everything.
Mom i sent home that jacket from mr mac so that you could return it. a bunch of people told me it wont be warm enough at all. i found a sweet jacket up here taht will work a ton better and can be used for everything. i got it for only 80 bucks to. it was a smokin deal. i sent that package out today so we will see how long it takes. the ap's are coming to stay with us on friday night.so i will get my mail then. anything that i dont get then, i will get it at zone conference on tuesday. so it wont be much longer. i sent a letter out to grampa today so we will see if he responds :) oh and ps austin is opening his call today! thats what i hear. so either i have to wait a week to get another email, or i might be using a pay phone real quick :) i cant decide. hahaha oh yeah and most some wednesdays i will be emailing about 11 o clock. but not every wednesday.it just depends. so i cant really set for sure times. sometimes we have meeting. last thing, i decided i hate canadian money. it looks to much like monopoly money. its confusing me. I think i will just stick to using cards! I love you all and miss you. almost one month down, 23 to go!

FIRST EMAIL FROM CANADA... WHICH MEANS HE MADE IT!!

Hey! so basically all the mail is supposed to go through the mission home. So I am just trying to keep that rule. I only get mail from the mission home twice or three times a transfer though :s kinda crazy. but just know for family, the main source of talking will be through emailing. but definitely keep sending mail. cause i will get it all at one time. but my pdays are wednesday! my companions name is elder riggs. he is from idaho falls. he towers over me. but we get along great, we have a lot in common, from as much as i can tell. we get our own apartment. We are in a little town called brooks. it is the most ghetto/hood place in the mission. its about two or three hours from the mission home. so i had quite the drive today. you should be getting a letter with a card from me and a picture of me and the mission president and his wife from them. They are awesome people. They are so nice and loving. It was awesome being able to sit and talk with them. I saw by friend scott gulbrandsen at transfers. he was training and he almost got to train me. we were close to it. but i am definitely ok with my trainer. it will be neat being able to be out in the middle of no where. :) we also play basketball every thursday night so thats a good thing too :) today was kind of a slow day cause we just did transfers and drove all day. its all good. we dont have any investigators right now either so we are going to have to change that around. get on that. Thats all for right now but i love you all and miss you!Love Elder Dastrup

Aiport... Flying out to Canada

Tyler LEFT for Canada on November 17th!!!

These pictures were taken from a father who's son was in the MTC with Tyler and flying out with him also!!

We received this email from his mom:

Hello,
My name is Susan Flygare, and my son Tycen left for Canada this morning with your son. My husband works for Delta Airlines, and was able to come to the airport and see them and get some pictures. Being a mom, I thought you might also like to see how they were doing. My husband said they all looked really good, and seemed to be doing great. They were all really excited to get off and on their way. I hope you enjoy seeing the pictures.
Take care,
Susan Flygare

FIRST EMAIL FROM TY

Hey mom and dad and everyone else!
just Forward to everyone. i only get a half hour on here. as i sit and wait for my laundry. yes i am actually doing it. i read all the emails and i loved them all. i love hearing about everything going on. I know you have done fine sending letters mom. i was just teasing sister dunn. i got quite jealous that she got to call you. but i will get to call in the morning of the 17th. a calling card would be perfect. then i wont have to keep sticking quarters in. haha Chance is the man. he sounds like he is having quite the time up at the house. that is funny. give him the biggest hug from me. Along with all the other nephews and neices. it sounds like dusty is in paradise. good thing one of us is :) But The mtc is going fine. only one more week and im out of here! sorry i cant email everyone i just dont have enough time. i am seriously studying all the time. i can not imagine devin in this place. i bet he went crazy. ps dusty i dont understand how you found phones to call anyone. they are on lock down here. but i havent even wanted to call home surprisingly. i just plan on how great it will be on the 17th. i am doing my best to write everybody back as fast as i can when i get your letters! i love the pictures. They make me feel like im there! Mom i want some nice warm but maybe leather gloves i dont know? i dont want big ski gloves though. so not bulky but warm! and long johns remember! Dad i was so happy to get those jokes. this place made those jokes funny! but still, after that laughter, im sure i got right back to studying. i am getting pretty comfortable with the second lesson and move on to the third later this week. i really am getting so comfortable just talking to people. i am glad i have never really struggled with that. But anyways. i am going to send a couple more emails and i have about ten minutes so once i will get your letters i willl write back with more. ps i dont really keep the rule on writing letters only on p day :) i miss you all. and love you all so much.
