Yo what is up??
Another week here from the polar express. Surprising enough, I am pretty sure that you guys have had more snow then us. We have only really had like 1 snow fall.. A month ago. While we were putting in a sprinkler system. But that is about it. Today it was actually raining pretty hard this morning. So much for being the coldest winter in along time up here like all the farmers were saying. Definitely a blessing for having a mild winter so far. I have put my winter coat on, only like twice. So not bad at all. Now that I say this, It is probably going to get really bad, really fast.
So this week has been really good. I went on several different splits, saw Calgary, worked wonders. It was a good spiritual week.
Tuesday We basically did service all day long. worked my butt off. Not to surprising. Just a good solid day!
Wednesday. I was on splits with a companionship in my district. Me and Elder Henrie. It was so fun. We just took a ton of pictures, messed around, and taught a ton of lessons. It is always good to be able to get a little break from your comp. Even though me and Dana get along great, it is still good for a break every once in a while. It was fun.
Thursday Was service again, putting up Christmas lights, helping build a garage, man are we going to be talented by the time that we get done with our missions. So much service and so many talents gained :) It was definitely a fun day, even though we didn't teach a ton.
Friday we were on splits again. I was with the zone leaders in their area, Elder Truman.He is a cool kid. His area is all of Calgary, because he covers the single adult ward, or as they call them up here, ysa ward. So we got to go down to Calgary so that was fun .We taught a wack of lessons and set some goals on what we could do better. Mos Def! (Most Definitely) We also had a training from the zone leaders. It really made me think about all the little things i could fine tune and do better. It was good. I seem to have a refocus and can work on little things to do as the lord would want me to do. The lord expects a lot out of me so I better be ready and already doing those things.
Saturday was a good service day as well.. We helped with the Airdrie food drive and got everything in line at the food bank. It was good, just peivious. If that is a word. Then we got up on a roof and put up Christmas lights again. Then we GOT to move a ton of wood for a ward member. No big deal. Just making me work out a little bit..
Sunday was awesome. Church was good, Our investigator didn't come but she did send us a text saying that something came up so she wouldn't be able to make it. So it is really showing us that she does want to be there. Very exciting. After church we went to a recent converts house and made ginger bread houses and had a competition... The two girls against Elder Dana and The dad, against me. Yeah they made me be alone. I dominated Though. Theirs kept falling down. I will send some pictures of mine. Super Bueno. It was good. Sunday night we had a stake priesthood meeting that was really good. The stake president is awesome up here. He knows whats up. Afterwards one of the recent converts, Hans, 79 year old German guy asked me to ordain him to the office of Elder And confer the Melchizedek priesthood. So I am really really excited about that. That will be next Sunday. Who knows why he chose me??????? But I am excited anyways.. And on our way home, we were with Nate, the member we live with and his dad Gary. Gary got a text from one of the ladies that works for him, she needed his help, Priesthood blessing. She is the relief society president in her ward in Calgary, so we went over and gave her a blessing. She has lots of times where the adversary works reallllly hard on her and suppresses her. It was amazing to go over and see her countenance changed completely. From down in the dumps to upidy and bright! The Priesthood is definitely a blessing in our life. I love it. It is amazing.
It is all going so well. I love it.
Nate and Kina are planning on coming down to the house the Saturday after thanksgiving. So i will give them all the directions and the phone numbers and everything. Mom I am sure they will be more than happy to bring some cookies back or something. they are Flying though. They are awesome. I challenged them to a ginger bread house making contest this morning. So I will probably win that competition too..
It sounds like all is well and cold in provo. To bad timpview lost in football. I guess it had to happen sometime though right? To bad that covey got a concussion. I love that kid.
I love you guys so much and miss you a ton..... Go JAZZ!! They beat the Heat :)
Love Elder Dastrup
