Yo what is up...
Good week, yet sad week (Hearing that the cougs could have done a lot better...)
But the good part was the baptism! It went way good. Naomi is awesome. Everything just as planned besides the fact that the microphone didn't work int he chapel. But other than that... Perfect.
chapel was completely full. So many of her family members (Mostly non-members) were really really supportive of her. Which is awesome. Plus tons of the ward members came as well! I might as well just start from when I got there.
So I actually went to a baptism that was right before ours, but a different ward, and different missionaries. The cool thing about this baptism, was that it all started with me telling the missionaries to go by her house, (the lady getting baptized, her mother in law lived in our ward) So They did and several months later, she is getting baptized by her husband, which was very less active. But now doing really good. It was way awesome to be able to see!
Then Naomi's baptism.. The chapel was completely full. It was the most people I have seen at a baptism since I have been out. It was awesome. Two girls gave some talks then She got baptized by her uncle that lives in Edmonton (way farther north) Then as she was changing me and Elder Hendershot gave a lesson to everyone else about the Book of Mormon going hand in hand with the bible. It went great. Then Naomi came back and her and her sister, and some cousins sang. It was sweet. Then it was ended by her getting confirmed by her other Uncle that is from Utah. It was awesome. Me and my companions got to stand in the circle. It was awesome. Way good experience.
The mission miracles are crazy. They have been happening like crazy and so many cool things just pop up. We are having a hard time getting our other investigators to meet with us regularly though. They totally progress when we do meet with them. They have just been super busy lately! But hopefully we will be able to meet with them tomorrow...
Being in a three leg is funny. We can joke around a lot more and seem to have a lot more fun. It is a lot harder to teach. But it seems now that I am getting used to it, I will probably go back to a regular companionship next transfer (Which is next week by the way, so I will be emailing on TUESDAY) But we all seem to get along really good. me being a clean freak, doesn't work out that well seeing that it gets dirty way to fast, but I guess it is teaching me a lot of patience! But it is good! I think I am going to get transferred next week. I love this time. Leaving area's is hard. But it is fun to see something new at the same time. There is going to be lots of changes in the mission this time around.. We will see what happens eh?
Wait, mom and dad you are going to Hawaii on Saturday? What the heck, It is still freezing up here! That is a rip off! We should go on a cruise when I get home to make up for all these trips I am missing. I think that is a great idea.. :) A member of our ward just went down to Hawaii yesterday, maybe you will meet them! the Jonson's. Hahah. probably not. But they were a huge part in Naomi getting baptized. Have fun, but dad I am sorry to here about your Kidney stones again, This better not be Hereditary!.....That would be the worst news ever...
Well I am running out of time, but I miss you all and love you tons. Still can't believe that I only have 7 months left! Love you all...
Love Elder Dastrup
