Email from March 3rd

Hey guys hows it going! another week down.. this week has been pretty good. Definitely some challenges or "trials of faith"..... I am hanging in there with my faith. Two of our baptismal dates got dropped and the other two are dwindling. but i know that i am doing my best to stay 100% obedient and i know that the lord will bless me.. We have continued to try and meet with the investigators who dropped the date, but i dont know how much they really want to talk to us... This week hsa been a little bit difficult to keep my companion staying on track. There is a few little rules that he isnt so sure he wants to keep. so i am just doing my best to work with him and show him my love and help him realize that by keeping all the little rules is what is going to pay off for us. So Dana i got your package this week, Thank you! i very much appreciate it. The cds are great, except a couple that arent really legitamit so i cant listen to a couple :) but most of them are good. Mom i keep forgetting to tell you i have gotten three ties from ya! thank you. i love all of them. i did get that purple and white tie in the first package i didnt see it for a couple days.So it sounds like everyone is staying pretty busy with everything, dusty with his long meetings, byu games and watching 24, dana with 10 jobs, terra gettin a package to me :) sommer finding a new delicious addiction, shrimp tacos, mom getting stuck in the mercedes, devin, probably buying more cars to sit on the lawn at his house. and dad probably starting a tons of new projects taht wont be finished until i am home in 20 months. All sounds pretty busy. i would like to think that we are staying pretty busy as well.. So timpview has state playoffs this week, how are they doing? it is weird how much i miss all of that basketball stuff. It was such a big part of my life that is just like gone now... crazy. it was a pretty good change though i would say. oh mom i was going to say, probably like sometime is march you can send me back my short sleeve white shirts and slacks for the summer time! just make sure that they are slim shirts. i hate big baggy church shirts. i havent gained weight yet (for sommers information) i actually weighed myself like 3 days ago and i weighed 171, and the day i came out i weighed 172. that is pretty good i would say. my goal is in two weeks when we are going to listen to elder bednar speak in lethbridge, i will be staying at a place that has a scale and i want to be below 170.. i dont know if you will catch me dusty.. I am so excited to have elder bednar speak to us. it will be so so so sweet! i would definitely rather have a baptism though. i still am working so hard on getting several in the month of march. Thankyou all for continueing to keep us in you prayers, i know that we will see miracles this month.. i think that is about all. i love you guys all so much and miss you all.. love elder dastrup
