It's a great day in the Kingdom.
Even though I don't feel like writing out a long email, I will anyways :)
Mom to answer your question, I got one letter from dad last week, and I got 1 from rach a while ago, but nothing weird! hahah We will be getting mail from the zone leaders today. We get it every Monday, so I don't see it until after I email. But hopefully I have some stuff. I haven't gotten anything yet! Sorry bout that one eh! Canada is wearing off on me. I have a goal to come home saying "eh, or aye" how ever you spell it. It is going to be ballin...
Wow Dad, your schedule for this upcoming year is grueling. Lots of long flights that will really take a toll on your sleeping schedule. It looks like it will be a lot of fun though.
This week has been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo solid! We set two solid baptismal dates for the 29th. Edith and Jefferson. We originally had four. But two are avoiding us and haven't been able to quit smoking.
But Edith and Jefferson are definitely Solid.
Edith... She is a 86 year old lady that loves everything about the church. She stays up until three in the morning reading her scriptures. She recently had a eye surgery so she has a hard time reading the regular size, so we went and got her a HUGE book of Mormon and bible. We brought them over and she was loving life. She is awesome. She is always cracking jokes with me. It is fun!
Jefferson is from the Philippines. He is sweet. We have been teaching him for a couple weeks. Way fun. He wasn't accepting the baptismal date at first, but as we continued to teach him, we worked through concerns and he will be baptized on the 29th! It is going to be a good day..
Me and Elder Oliver are doing pretty good. Sometimes we have little glitches (if that is a word) in getting along, but we work through them, or get over them eventually. I have to make a big effort to just laugh at his jokes and smile! Because they definitely aren't that funny. But it just goes to show me that I have a lot of work to do to be more Christ-like. But it is all good!
We as a mission are working our hardest to invite members and push them along in doing missionary work. It is hard, I hate having to be pushy, but as we invite, we see more success so there is no reason not to do it. It is ballin.
Oh yeah I forgot, Edith, her baptism this saturday, she can't bend backwards because of her knees. So both me and Elder Oliver will be in the water helping her. It is going to be sooooooo sweet. She hasn't decided who will confirm her though. we will probably find out tomorrow. Which will be exciting..
Well I am super sick of typing, So I love all of you. Have a wonderful day and don't miss me to much! :)
Love Elder Dastrup
