Hey Family
Another week come and gone. Just about to hit the 17th month mark.. But who is counting?? This day today is the first day of spring. Hallelujah. To bad it is still pretty cold out side. This weeks weather has actually been really good. Today is bad and snowy again. I figure probably like 2 or 3 more bad weeks then it will get way better! Well I hope at least...
This has been a miserable week! All week I just wish I could watch basketball! I had set people who would give us updates. It is great. I am stoked to see how BYU is doing. It looks like this game against Florida may be the toughest until the final four. Just imagine what could be happening with Davies on the floor! It could be some good stuff. I am excited to see what happens. We all made brackets, and I am definitely the most into basketball in the district.. Yet I am not doing so good. Just goes to show you that anything can happen in Basketball!
Besides March Madness, the week has been a trying week. We were supposed to have lots of good things happening, Yet it seemed like every time that we were supposed to pull up to a lesson with a non-member, they would call and cancel. We had a good sum of those this week.. That is real annoying. But hopefully this new week can be fresh and only good things will happen!! Hopefully..
The baptism with Naomi this Saturday is still good to go. It will be at 4 o clock. This is a really neat baptism that will happen. A couple of missionaries that were serving up here when I first got to the mission are coming back up to see it. That will be funny to see them. We are going to pick up the information on who is doing what in the program tonight, and we will make the programs tomorrow.. Exciting. Maybe I will send one home.
As for the baptisms on April 2nd. We don't know what is happening right now. We pray that they will happen. But we can't get a hold of them and they didn't show up at the lesson on Saturday, or to church on Sunday. So it may have to get pushed back. We aren't sure. We just hope to get a hold of them soon...
The new investigators we are teaching, Mike and Noel are way awesome. They ended up getting tied up this weekend so they weren't able to meet with us or come to church. We are suppose to set up another lesson with them today for possibly tomorrow. We will see what happens. We are working with them for the 2nd of April. At the beginning of last lesson. Mike came out and said that he doesn't see it happening and that he didn't want to give up coffee. We just said, ok lets do the lesson and talk about those things. By the end of the lesson the spirit was super strong and we resolved his concerns with being baptized that quick. He said he would love to do that, but was reliant on the wife to do it together. She isn't quite as ready so we will work with her.. He also said that giving up Coffee wouldn't be that bad! haha the Spirit is awesome. Definitely softens peoples hearts!
Me and my companions are doing great. We get along good. We are really trying hard to follow the spirit and talk to everyone!
Good things are happening in our area.. I can't believe that I have already been in this area for almost 4 1/2 months. I am guessing that I will be transferred on April 6th. But I am not sure yet.. We will see what happens.
Well I am super sick of typing so I am going to finish this up. I love you all and miss you.
Love Elder Dastrup
