Yo Family
How is it going?? Another Week down, hmm they just seem to be going by faster and faster..... Most of the time at least!
This week was a wonderful week. The first one of the transfer is normally really slow and dragged out. Not this one. Me and Elder Dana lit it up this week! We taught 23 lessons and 8 of them or so, were with Less Active people. So I am pretty excited about it! We stayed busy a majority of the day. So that was good! We just strive to stay busy doing the things we should be doing, and we seem to continuely be blessed. Funny how that works eh? My Canadian lingo is coming along just fantastic...
So I was doing the math like yesterday, and we have 2 months until christmas! So crazy... I can't believe it. I will only have one more call home after that. So pumped. haha Who knows, I still could even be in the same area I am now by christmas. That would put me here in this one area 6 months. Could happen, just unlikely. Christmas would be really fun in this area though. We live with awesome members, so that would be nice and there are tons of cool members in the ward. But the next transfer is December 1st so I could be long gone.
So this week we had so much service we were doing. It was sweet. The more I do service, the more I like it. Yes I just said that. It is fantastic. Most of the time. It kind of gets annoying when people aren't grateful for what we do. But the only way to get over it, is to just keep serving. got to love it!
I hear the Jazz are 8-0 in the preseason!!!!!!! Finally, they are good and of course I am not there for it. This kills me. Last pday we were at the mall for lunch, and i saw on a tv thhey were playing the lakers. Their new jerseys are sooooooooo sick! Like good/cool/neat... To bad BYU football isnt any good, or else we would have a good year all the way around. It is good i dont have to watch it. I would just get frustrated.
Thanks mom for sending that suit out. I just need some switch ups out here. Man it gets boring wearing the same suit over and over and over and over again. Rediculous...Nothin a good suit wont spice it up a bit. The only things i get to change are ties watch .... thats it...
So my ten minute shut off thing just popped up so i am going to try and hurry!
This morning it snowed. yup i was upset with seeing that. I am going to have a long winter. It is supposed to be the worst one yet.... We do have a ward activiity coming up on the 30th... trunk r treat. We are doing it in the churhc parking lot. and we are supposed to dress up our car. We drive a chevy malibu so we thunkdid up an idea to put a bit sheet on it and make it a ghost and call it the maliboooooo! so creative i know :) I think we are going to try and find somebig boxs to put over us and one of us will be the holy bible and one of up a book of mormon! or mario and luigi. We cant decide! We have to be in our aaprtment and 600 on halloween. So that will be nice to catch up on sleep!
We play horse, with a mini basketball hoop at night in our apartment. I am totally dominating. I havewon 12 i think and he has won 4. And around the worl i am up 6-0.. domination station..
Drum roll please, at the year mark i weigh in at.......................
180 pounds. Makes me plus 8 lbs right now...... rediculous. It will be gone by the time i come home. I am eating healthier than i ever have before.... i am pretty impressed...
Mother I will get back to you next week what my christmas list can be :)
I love you all so much and miss you a ton. Work hard, read your scriptures and serve people around you constantly... i love you all..
Love Elder Dastrup
