Today is my 8 month mark.... but who is counting?? just to let all of you guys know :) I have been having a wonderful time this week. it went by fast. I didnt know how i was going to like the whole monday pday thing, but this week has gone by way faster so obviously i am going to like it. We did a lot of work this week. We moved two families and taught 17 lessons. Still just working our hardest to find as many investigators and people to teach as possible. We have so many goals to reach every week it makes it hard, butttttttttttt we are doing our best and thank goodness for a father that pounded goal setting into my brain! it makes it a lot easier!
our investigators, Lori and Shawn Patterson. Wont be baptized this month.. they will be baptized, it will just take a little bit of time. They have some things to work through before they are baptized. but i still like teaching them hahah..
we have a ton of lessons set up this week. every night actually, except july first. That is CANADA DAY.. so like july 4th in the states. no one will invite us over so i dont know what we will be doing. maybe street contacting, when they are lighting fireworks??? they might not be to happy with that..
so yesterday at church was awesome, both bishops were asked by the stake president to give about a five minute talk about missionary work.. the spirit was so strong, both bishops cried and so did half the congregation... Both bishops also invited us up to the stand and had us recite one of our missionary scriptures... It is called my mission commission... Maybe that is what got people crying??? i dont know... :)but it was awesome. The longer i have been out the longer i am comfortable speaking in front of the whole group.. after the meeting. we had quite a few people come up and ask us when they could have us over. normally NO ONE asks us, we normally have to pin them down. so that was pretty cool!
The family we live with.... the Pitchers.... Havve a son coming home from a mission on tuesday night. So that will definitely be weird living there at the house with a return missionary. i will be pretty cool though i think.We will have somebody right there that will always be able to go on splits! He was serving in The Sydney australia South mission.. Everybody in the ward talks about him and really likes him so he seems like a pretty cool kid..
So we have another girl in our ward that has been coming to church for several years now and still isnt baptized. Her mom and dad are members but they wont let her get baptized... weird? but just barely her mom just gave her the ok to get baptized this summer so the bishop is going to meet with her asap then hopefully we can start teaching her! We will see what happeneds.
So me and my comp are getting along pretty good. He just tells me all the time about the people he hates and why.. funny, the people he hates in arizona are the people i hang out with.. so im guessing me might not like me either... i dont know! no but we do get along pretty good. He thinks about home quite often and how long he has... It just makes me happy that i am not homesick at all and that it doesnt effect me like it does some people..
This has been a wonderful week and i love you guys and miss ya! but we are going to get heading out to go do our pday stuff! which for me and elder green, we got invited to go golfing on a nice course so i need to go to the thrift store to get a 2 dollar collard shirt!
love you guys
love elder dastrup
