Family...
Yo what up!
This week is the week. Five days and counting. I can't wait. Mainly because it will be the last Christmas I ever Have out here! That is a weird idea eh? I think this will go a lot faster then I am expecting as of right now. Christmas is going to be very interesting this year. A very busy day, and potentially even busier than expected..
We are having brunch with the stone family, which they are soooooooo cool. We talk a lot of football with them haha. They are sweet. And they are actually related to one of my Arizona friends. Small world.. So we will be with them for a bit starting at 11. Then Elder Hansen makes his call home at 1. And you guys call me at 3.. Not a second late! remember... So Don't be forgetting it. Then We are having our Christmas dinner at 5 or 530. Busy Busy Day.. Then to top that all off. We have had some investigators coming to church the last couple weeks and we taught them yesterday after church. The husband is a member already. But the wife wants to be baptized. But not till the new year, but their nephew, Craig Anderson, which is like 35-40. Decided he wants to be baptized on Christmas Day!!!!!!! So we are praying for him so hard that he can keep all his commitments. We honestly have hardly taught him at all. He committed to not smoke yesterday. So that is our biggest issue. If he smokes at all this week he can't be baptized. This morning we were supposed to have a lesson at 10, but he bailed for some reason. So we hope that he keeps the rest of his commitments. PRAY PRAY PRAY. How awesome it would be to have a WHITE Christmas :) We hope it will happen but we definitely aren't a 100% sure it will. But if it happens, it will be at 9 am Saturday morning.
But for the members wife, She is thinking she wants to be baptized on January 1st. But she has to quit smoking as well.. They also bring a 86 year old friend, which her name is Edith. She as well wants to be baptized on Jan. 1st. But she goes out of town today for a week or so. So we aren't sure that we can get all the lessons in.. But we are going to try.
They are all awesome people and are just looking for a better life style. They feel the spirit so well at church it is amazing. I am so excited to see what happens. Even if Craig isn't baptized on Saturday, it will be soon. I am sure you guys are all surprised about that.... So am I. Are you kidding me.? The lord is blessing us so much. It is amazing. I love it...
So yeah, my letters have been dwindling so bad... haha. I get less and less. It is sad. That is when you have been out for a while. Because EVERYBODY forgets about you! I keep telling myself this is the week I will get a lot. Ha nope, oh well I guess I will just not have to write anybody back!
4 New trucks just came into the mission, And we have one the the older, and when i say older i mean like a 2008 truck... So hopefully we will be getting one of the brand new ones. They are sweet. way nice. Chevy Colorado's. They are pretty cool.. It is weird how the oldest cars in the mission are 2008 and 2007's.. The church definitely keeps everything really nice and new. We only put on about 60 thousand kilometers, which i think is about 40000 miles. ? I dont know.
It is so sad that the tabernacle burned down. I got a call from sister Vellinga (Dads clients) The morning that it happened at like 7 o clock. It is crazy that that happened. Do you guys know if they will be rebuilding it or what? monument?
Well i am out of time and i am starving. I love you guys and miss you a ton. Your prayers are appreciated. Talk to you in HOURS.... :) Love you
Love Elder Dastrup
