Familyyyyyyyyyyy
Monday once again. It has been an exciting week. With being transfers and all types of new things. I went from a very very young area in Airdrie. To about the exact opposite. Very Very Old area. Big change. But changes can be good sometimes.... Hopefully. So now I am serving in the Willow Park area, which is the area around our mission home. In this area, the missionaries have formerly been the office missionaries. President Archibald changed that this transfer. Thank goodness. Even though my companion has been in there and will still need to go help every once in a while when the senior couples get lost. But it won't be to bad. I am excited for the change. We have our work cut out for us. Since it has been an office missionary area, things are really slow right now. But we will be finding good effective things to do. We are excited for the changes to happen in the area. mos def! My new companions name is Elder Hansen. He has been about 5 months and been in the office 3 of the 5. So it was a big change for him coming out of the office. But he is excited. So that is good. We get along really good, So all should be very well. He is from Fresno California and is like 6 foot 5. Freak. Why am I so short? Oh well all is well...
So mom and dad I forgot to ask you... You said you went to Sam Rosens mission farewell.. He got out?????????????????????? That is so awesome. He wrote me and told me he was making his efforts in like February, but I never heard more from him..... Where is he going? I need to find his address or something... That is so awesome he got out.. And it was good to hear Max's farewell was really good to. I need to write him!
So this week, since my companion hasn't been to the temple yet, he really wants to go. So we might go on Saturday. Quite honestly I would rather just have pday. It makes for such a long day to go all the way down there and I only went like a month or so ago. But oh well I will try to be positive.
In this area we don't have any solid investigators right now. We have a couple of potential investigators. But nothing real solid. There is one lady that is less active and has three kids who want to get baptized. So that might go somewhere. I haven't met them yet though. Our other potential investigator, had a son get married in the temple recently so that may go somewhere good!
Guess what?? Only 19 days until you guys are lucky enough to talk to me on the phone.... Yeah I know you guys are probably pretty stoked about that right now...... So me and Elder Hansen figured out how it all will go down... So we have a brunch thing with a family in the morning. So by the time we get done with that, Elder Hansen's family is going to call at 1...ish. So we wanted to give it a little time, in between in case he goes over some. So The time we figured would be best for you guys to call me, would be at 300 o clock sharp! Not a minute after. Is Holly coming up, or what will be the deal for that?? It should all work out well.. Is 3 OK for you guys? And just so you will for sure know I can start giving my number now!

So mother I was just curious and thinking about it the other day, do you keep one of those triangle count down things for me? Cause if you do, yep, I am on the down slide!!!!!!! ha So crazy how time works. I am one of the older missionaries in the mission.. "What what?" In Dana terms..So legit.
I am reading like crazy in personal study right now. I have read like 100 pages in the new testiment in the last, like 3-4 days. I am going to truck through the new testiment, then the old. I figured I gotta do it sometime. I have read the book of mormon 5 times so far out here. Could you imagine the damage that could be done if Mom was out here reading to me.... Oh man. Now I realize why Devin had to call home, So mom could read to him!!!!!!! I never though about that until right now... Hmm..
My zone is sweet. Elder Gulbrandsen is one of our zone leaders and he went to school with me. He was in our group of friends. But he is a few years older. But it is pretty sweet, he goes home on January 5th, so i was excited to serve around him at least a little. That is pretty cool..
Well that is about all I have to say. I don't know much else besides the church is true!
I love you guys and miss you a ton.
Love Elder Dastrup
