I am so glad to hear that it is a little chilly down there... Just cold enough to put your coats on! :) It is ridiculous up here. Yesterday it was only like -15 degrees but it was really really windy. So with windchill it got down to about -35 degrees. Are you kidding me? That was definitely fun. The part I did like though is that it snowed a ton. So there are a ton of wind drifts. So of course I am having fun with those.
So my new companions name is Elder Oliver. He is from Pincher Creek, Just two hours south of Calgary. He is waiting for his VISA to go to South Carolina. So he hasn't gone to the MTC or anything. But For how long he has been out. He is a pretty good teacher. Not bad eh? We get along pretty good.
So this week we picked up another investigator!
His name is Jefferson. He is from the Philippines. He moved here in December and lives with his uncle and Aunt. Which they are members of our ward. He has been to church the last three or four weeks and we just barely found out he wasn't a member. So we went over and invited him to take the lessons. He accepted. We taught the lesson and at the end invited him to be baptized. He didn't technically accept. But He did realize how big of a blessing it would be to get baptized. We are teaching him again on Saturday and I think he will accept the invitation to be baptized on the 29th. He is a stud..
We had another guy come to church with one of our members yesterday. His name is Patrick. He is a black guy from Montreal. He is sweet. He was way into church answering questions and loving it. After church we invited him to take the lessons, but he is just to busy for it right now. So we are going to continue to work with his fellow shipper on getting him to church and trying to set up lessons.
Our investigator Danielle, with a baptismal date on the 29th has been realllllllllllllly hard to get hold of this week. I don't know if she is avoiding us or what. But since Wednesday (When she cancelled our appointment because she had family stuff come up) She hasn't answered anything... So we will see what happens.
Our other investigators that were supposed to be baptized Christmas day, Tammy Craig and Edith, we finally got back in contact with. They moved and numbers changed and all kinds of stuff. So they want to start meeting again which is exciting.
All else is well here. I am lovin it. What a glory it is to be in the Lords kingdom here on earth. Love everyone of you guys and miss you a ton!
Love Elder Dastrup
