Yo wasssupp family??
How is it going? Another fantastic warm week here in Canada, Maybe one of the last! It is probably going to start cooling down here before to long! This week was definitely a good one! I am enjoying my new area, even though I miss my old area so much. The west side of lethbridge is awesome! but Airdrie is awesome to. I like it. The work here is good. We had an awesome experience at church this week. We had a random kid come out of no where because he felt like he should be at that church. He was atheist before he came, he loved it, recognized the spirit and trusted everything we said.. He told us he has never been a trusting guy, ever. But there was something different about us.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Awesome!! We set a date with him for the 21st of august, but he is 16 and he said his parents will be upset with him for even going, so we are going to be praying hard to soften their hearts! I got to teach him a lesson all by myself. It was a way good experience. He is an awesome kid so Everything will hopefully work out good. I Cant wait for august 21st, We are going to teach another investigator right after we leave here and we are going to try to set a date with her for the 21st as well. I haven't met her yet though so I don't know to many details about her.
So like I said, I am now serving in Airdrie, It is about as far north in the mission you can get. It is only about a 20-30 minute drive to down town Calgary though.. Hmmmm I wonder if it gets colder up here than where I was serving last winter.. Hopefully not!!! There is a mall in my area, it is called the Balzac mall! It is huge. So crazy. We walked around like half of it yesterday and it took wayy to long..
My new comps name is Elder Graham. He is from Springville Utah. He is a pretty good guy. We get along ok so we will have to see how it goes,. Hopefully we can get some baptisms in thiis area, There have been a ton rescently so it better not be all dried up now!
So Dad it sounds like you are getting soooooooooooooo excited about Alaska That is awesome! Can't wait to go up.. You guys are taking like a million trips this month. Kind of jealous. I thought you guys were going to cancel Lake Powell since I wasn't going to be there.... Now instead mom and dad are going twice! I thought that dad didnt even like powell??? So are you going to like times square for the convention in New York or what? What ever you do just don't try and walk 30 + blocks again dad. Especially when your feet are swollen up! I just remember how much pain you were in when we went to go to church the next morning.
So me and my comp were talking this morning about how much the mission changes you.. Like how when we were growing up before the missions, we would always dread going to church and it was sooo hard to go. Now it is like the best day of the week ( minus P day ) and my comp, elder lee, that has just been with us for a week because he goes home tonight, was saying that he cant wait to go home teaching... We must of changed alotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Once again i live with some sweet members! The martins. They are a younger family but they are rad. We have our own kitchen and entrance, washer and drier, everything. but having three people stay there is tough, but like i said elder lee goes home tonight so it will become a lot easier.
I love you guys so much and miss ya a ton. I will talk to you guys next monday!
Love Elder Dastrup
