Email from Oct 19, 2010

Yo doggs!
Whats up. Another Week come and gone. Still just loving it! Transfer emails came, and once again I am just staying in my area with Elder Dana. This will make 4 1/2 months together by the end. I am excited. We get along well so might as well keep it this way right??
I was kind of surprised to see that I was staying. But Definitely excited.
This week was such a good one.
We got to go to the temple on saturday. It was AMAZING .... So awesome. Such an intense day. First of all, we were going down so that we could see a couple go through for the first time and get sealed. We found in the morning that Sister Anderson Hill (mom the person you sent that package to) Was really really sick and they were supposed to be the temple at like 10. They definitely were not going to make that. We were praying like all the way down. As soon as we got there, We got word that they were coming, and going to make the 230 session. So we went through two sessions, yep and i stayed awake, wide awake it was so awesome. The temple up here is so cool. So it made for a really cool day.
We also got a couple leads on some potential investigators. We will have to see what happens. One of them bailed out on us last night, but we arent even close to giving up on him.
Here is the scoop.
So one of our members, brother matthews, moved in about 6 months ago. The elders Helped them move in. After the elders left, their neighbor came over and said, hey are you guys jehovas witnesses? Can i get some literature on that?? The member then said, well we do have litterature but we aren't j dubs. So he gave him a book of mormon. 2 weeks ago, the member was building his fence outside and that same neighbor came over and gave him a saw to borrow, and said something like the price is to send your elders over to my house!!!!!!
We had the member try and set up a lesson and that didnt go so well so we are just going to try and stop by his house on thursday. So we will see what happens.
We also had this scottish ladie jump out of her car and chase down up to a door step to talk to us. She is already a member but she has gone pretty less active. So she got the info of when church is and where it is and everything. She actually called me this morning so that wwill be good to reactivate maybe!
I am really hoping to see this area boom this transfer. It has so much potential. We just need things to click!
So how is timpview football doing?>
Dad you will have to get back on track here sending me the timpview basketball stuff. They should be pretty good! I dont know about down low though. We have some really good basketball in our zone right now. And A couple good guys are coming in. So it will be good.
BYU SUCKS!!! whats going on. I am so upset. This is killing me. I cant handle seeing the cougs not winning. I heard they got smoked by tcu. Hey at least they scored on them right??
What else is going on???
I got dev and rachs package. Thanks :) more candy :) the sad part is, i eat like all of it..... haha
Mom can you get that gray suit. Get the pants taken out just a hair :) and send the suit on up? thanks!
Send some return labels with it so that i dont have to right my address on every letter i send.
So i dont know what else to say. But I love you guys and miss ya a ton. Cant wait until next monday to here from you again!
Love Elder Dastrup
