Sorry I didn't email yesterday, I am sure that Mom may be the only one that noticed 
But we kind of had a miraculous thing take place in the mission this week that pushed P-Day until today, Tuesday...
We found out just last Friday that Elder Scott of the quorum of the 12 had a plane cancel Sunday night (He was up here for a stake conference) and He called President Archibald asking if he could meet with the mission Monday morning. So things got changed around a bit. We have been so blessed. Normally it is rare if missions are lucky enough to get 1 apostle in their whole mission. We have had two in the last month and 3 since I have been out. The Lord is obviously trying to tell us something. It is our job to figure out what that is!
It was awesome though. He bears one of the strongest testimonies I have ever seen in my life. It was awesome. He talked to us a lot about going home and looking to get married. That should be first on our priorities list... Sphh what that, I am pretty sure that is what every one sounds like they are telling us to do. It is kind of scary that, that thought is so close..
I Hit my 18 month mark in a week or so, and I just can't imagine how fast this last six months will go.. Mom it is weird to start thinking about what I am going to do when I get home.. I honestly haven't really thought about what is going to happen with school and whatever else. I probably plan on going to UVU but I don't know. The only other places that I would really consider to go, is probably Dixie cause that is where Holly and the boys are, I don't really want to go any where else as of right now though.. How early would registration have to be for Spring Semester? That is going to suck, haha I don't want to go back.. But oh well I still have about a year to worry about it! But what other info do you need to know mom? hah I don't really know what else there is..
This week in BC was awesome.. Even though we drove to Calgary twice, 5 hours, and didn't have much time to work in our own area. But it was still all good. The weather here is really good, yet still not as good as normal. So hopefully it will be getting warmer. We heard we were supposed to have another cold week. It will get going soon. We had to go to Calgary once to see Elder Scott, and the other time, Elder Spurlock and I went to Zone Leader Council up at the mission home on Friday. It was was good. A spiritually boosting week! But my butt hurts from driving so much! Oh well, that is what happens in this zone. Gotta love it.
We did find a new investigator. His name is Jimmy.. We invited a member of the ward to invite a friend to hear us as missionaries, and he did. Jimmy accepted. We taught him twice this week and teach him again tomorrow. He didn't accept a baptismal date either lesson. He wants to talk to his family about it.. We are praying that they are OK with it all. We will see tomorrow I guess. It is frustrating being in an area that doesn't have many investigators and is kind of slow. I guess it is time for a big boost to happen. We just don't have enough time in a day to get everything done that we need to!
Dad I saw the pictures of your 'Toilet room' I am so glad that you are keeping such close tabs on me! hha that is awesome. I never realized how close it was to the Alaska cabin. To bad the Canadian provinces are deceivingly big. So it really isn't that close. When is the next trip that you are going up there?
Mom to answer your question, I will get mail probably every other week now. Not to much worse. I will get it again on May 2nd. That is the day we have zone conference. So we are good to go. Next weeks Pday is Monday again just for the record! But Rachel I did get your letter! That talk from Elder Holland was way good. I never got a letter from your young womens group! sorry! But i did get your valentines package with the Valentines in it.. haha
For the mothers day call, mom what if we were able to link in Holly and the boys for the call. That would be pretty easy wouldn't it?? Just do a 3 way call!
Oh yeah I am still definitely working out every day. It is a killer to run at 630 in the morning but it has to be done! By the way, my service shoes/running shoes kind of wore down. The whole back is completely destroyed. So mom is it ok if I snag some runnin shoes?
Umm other than that, I don't really have anything else. All is well here in Zion. I am loving life and wouldn't rather be any where else. I love you all an miss you all a ton. Talk to you next monday..
Love Elder Dastrup
