How be it family??
First of all i want to say happy fathers day yesterday! I gave a little note to elder owens you write you dad but i dont know if he did. i hope so. it was a good one! i hope you had the best fathers day ever, even though i couldnt be there to spend it with you!
I am doing great this week.. It has been a different week that is for sure and the week of transfers is always really slow! But it has been fun and lots of new stuff going on!
I have a new companion, as you guys know, elder green... we are getting along descently. He is a pretty cool kid he just doesnt like some of the rules.. Dont worry i have taken care of them for the most part. He recognizes that i am not going to let him get away with little things haha. dont worry dad i am doing it in a loving way! and by example...
We have several solid investigators now! they willl be baptized in july sometime.... hopefully... they came to church yesterday.
It has been exciting being a district leader for this week so far. I have already done two baptismal interviews which are way fun.. and also i just finished my first lesson for our district development meeting tomorrow.. I have to teach about a 90 minute lesson so it was kind of hetic but... i got done! hopefully it takes all 90 minutes haha. who knows it is my first one.
i am so ticked the lakers won.. i hate the lakers. our members we live with were telling us about it and we may have seen the last minute or so :)..... it was a joke. i hear the celtics were winning the whole game and choked.. ahhh but i do hear that lebron is going to be a bull possibly... i think he would look better in a jazz uniform but that is just my opinion..as long as he doesnt go to the spurs or the lakers then i am ok..
I have had so much fun doing baptismal interviews this week. it is awesome to sit in the person wanting to be baptized and hear their conversion story and what has been the greatest thing that has happened to hthem as they have decided to be baptized. it is fun finally being involved with a baptism even though it isnt mine.
We are still getting more and more trust from the members and we will be doing a lot more seven day challenges with the members to help them find somebody for us to teach..
we have had to give up several more refferals this week because they dont live in our area, i cant wait until somebody gives us a refferal! that will be the day!! I dont know if i ever told you but last week at church. like 8 days ago, you guys missed a good talk. dang it was good, i got up and spoke even longer than i was supposed to and i didnt even have time to email mom before i got asked to speak so you know i actually wrote it.. pretty impressive huh?
Well today we are going to go eat crepes for lunch then play some basketball! I love you guys so much and miss you tons!
love elder dastrup
ps, sorry my emails are weak.. the only other thing i can think of is...... GET MY SCOOTER ON KSL!!! :)
