Hey family! So that is way exciting news about timpview... i was so stoked to see that. Since last like thursday that is all i have been thinking about it who won the state championship. For some reason i had a feeling that mountain crest would be close to winning it this year. i just didnt really think timpview! but with bronson i dont think it would have been a problem at all. So that is awesome. Eli is the man. Dad you will have to call covey on the phone and tell him that i love him and he is that man and congrats. I am really excited for all of them...

But more talking about my mission, It is going well. The course to 100 baptisms is in route. Which is amazing. we had 20 on the first weekend... SWEET!!!!!! We set a very solid date for the 20th of march, but it got pushed back to the 21st. which is ok! i am so excited. wwe are still working with a few people that dropped their date to get new ones. i love my mission. so many crazy things are happening and it is awesome. I love seeing the change in peoples lives.. our solid date that we have it with man named Hermes, Columbian. So elder estupinan speaks spanish with him so it is pretty cool. hoipefully we can just get him to church. he is a very busy man... So mom our next transfer date is the 24th. so i will be emailing the 23rd. and next week, the 17th i probably wont be emailing until about 5 ish. i am going to the temple that day!! i am really excited to finally get to go down to cardston. but i should be able to get back to email...

Good news, tomorrow i am going up to calgary for a training with president archibald. it is just some select elders that i guess are going to be the leaders in the near future. So i am pretty excited to get that oppertunnity! I dont know if the near is like this next transfer or like 6 months. but either way it is good that something good is coming from me.. even though i have no baptisms or anything. Even though i havent gotten to have lots of baptisms yet or anything,it is so fun seeing miracles and stuff. my favorite thing to do is give blessings... last night was an awesome experience.we were at a members house and i gave a spiritual thought. it was just mainly about trusting the lord and he will deliever you out of bondage (mosiah 7:33) which is one of my favorite scriptures and he started laughing and i was like what??? why are you laughing at me... and he just said it is funny that you are talking about this because i have been debating to get a blessing before i go on my trip and you are basically telling me right now to rely on the lord... it is amazing how heavenly father works.... this guy is actually taking a trip down to utah. So he will be in provo from like sunday to wednesday i think... so mom i gave him some stuff to give to you. he should be calling you when he is in provo.. his name is andrew. he is pretty goofy but he is an awesome guy. he does so much for us as missionaries.. he should have somewhere to stay, but i told him if any problems come up that you guys would probably have an extra room. so sorry i offerred without permission :) but he really is a good guy that does a lot for us. i told him that you might be having people stay with you so you can use that as an excuse!

Well i am still astonished about timpview winning the state championship that is awesome..tell the coaches that i say congradualtions! i would email them, but i cant haha. That is about all the time i have so i will talk to you guys next week. miss you guys and remember i sure do love ya! love elder dastrup
