Email from November 8th, 2010

Hey guys...
Once again, a week come and gone. Truckin through these weeks like they are nothing!
It is awesome. And this week esspecially was a good week.. Lots of good things happened. The Lord definitely blessed us this week.
First and foremost. We got a new investigator!!!!!!! Her name is Li Yang. She moved here from china 2 years ago. But has pretty good english. She has two little kids and her husband works 10 am to 11pm EVERYDAY.... So i dont know how we are going to teach him at all.. But she Has not really any knowledge of who god even is. She shows a strong faith in what we are teaching her, but obviously it doesnt come just like that...... But she is awesome. She came to church with her two little boys. It was a weird day at church :) of course. The first kid to get up and bear his testimony admitted to an addiction to chocolate.. AND the nintendo wii.... The next ladie got up and went off about how she is really pore. I got up after that to just bear my testimony and get things on track, right after me, the branch president did the same thing hahahaha. it was great. But she loved it. and the third hour we did a combined arp meeting thing. it was crazy.. but she still said she would come next week! so we are excited.
So i just got the email and pictures from Katie. Might i say that was awesome. Mason looked ompa loompa status.. that was awesome! But kate your waldo glasses dont touch my real persription glasses...
So other miracles from this week. We also should be picking up a new investigator this week. We made contact. Now we just need to follow up. he said we can until he lets us in so... I am pretty excited about that.
We also had zone conference this week. It was legit. So rad We had tons of good insights and the spirit taught us new things! it was good. We also only have them every three months now instead of every six weeks. So it means a lot more each time as well.
So what are you guys doing for thanksgiving weekend. The awesome member that we live with are going down to utah and will be staying in heber. So they really want to come visit with you. They were thinking the best that would work for them would be that saturday, two days after thanksgiving. So i think that is the 27th? i dont know, But you guys better be home. Because I want you to meet them. I will be giving them the phone number and address to the house + directions. So they will be stopping by.. The only other thing i thought about giving them was the gate code so that if it is closed they could still come up. but I cant remember the code hahaha.
Mom I would rather you just pick some parts of my letter and send them instead of me writign a different email. that takes to much effort :) I was reading that last letter you sent me. The missionary times or whatever with all my friends stuff. Wow they are to blessed with baptisms. They seem to come so easy everywhere else in the world. What is wrong with our area!!! spphhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so lame haha I guess i will just have to get over it..
Me and Elder Dana are still getting along great. Still working hard. Focusing on the goals... We are working hard together. Some of the other missionaries in our district arent getting along at all right now, so it is nice being compatible with Elder Dana. We went down for his last test today. Finally. And then his credit card didnt work hahaha. So luckily i always carry some cash. I lent him it, so i am thinking about charging interest when he pays me back :) hahaha we will see.
That is to bad to hear about that guy that was supposed to bless his baby yesterday. I guess it just makes us count our blessings even that much more...
Chirstmas is getting closer and closer. only 6 or 7 more weeks. That is crazy to think about. It will be my last one! Oh yeah I also finally burned my shirt last night. It was awesome.. I got some good pictures. It is about time for me again to get some pics printed off and sent home! haha sorry i am not very good at that. But we pored gas all over the shirt and torched it! It was awesome. It burned for way longer than i thought it was going to go pretty fast. but hey. it was sweet. At first i dropped it too, because i think it sinched my eyebrows. it went up in a hurry...
Welp i am hungry and want to play basketball so we are going to take off. I love you guys and miss ya aton...
Love Elder Dastrup
