Family.
It was so good to hear every body's voice yesterday. Even if it was all at the same time. Once again mom, happy Mothers day yesterday! You are the best mom ever. Definitely. I can't believe that, that was my last call home. Next time I will be hearing any of you, it will be in the Salt Lake Air Port... Weird. But now it is my goal to not think about home. I still have a lot of work to do while I am here. I don't want to go home regretting anything so I might as well work hard while I am still here eh?
Elder Spurlock and I are working well together. This is our last week of the transfer, and he has a suspicion that he is getting transferred. So we have set some goals to really work hard and find some new investigators, We set a goal for 4. So that we can be running by the time next transfer starts. So next week I will be emailing on TUESDAY so don't forget.
BC is starting to warm up.. It is going to be about 20 degrees celcius all week which is probably in the high 60's and low 70's.. So hopefully we will be able to take our coats off. It has to be 22 in the forcast for 3 consecutive days. At that point, we are good to go. Starting in June it doesn't matter the temperature, we can just wear short sleeves everyday. I can not wait for that. It is turning super green out here. It is awesome. Today we are going golfing. A member of our branch owns a course and he lets us play for free. Gonna be soakin up the sun in Canada. So not much sun..
This last weekend was awesome. The mandarin Elders came down and baptized a man named Alex. They have been teaching him over Skype for a couple weeks now. The whole program was in Mandarin and English. It was a cool experience. All the sudden my companion and I notice a whole lot more asians. We are definitely going to start looking for more oppertunnities to have people taught over skype. Get their work going down here!
We were also supposed to have three new investigators this weekend. 1 lesson, with 2 of the new investigators got rushed, and they ended up just telling us that they just weren't ready to meet with us. We feel like they have so much potential, so we are just going to keep working with their fellow shippers to soften their hearts. And then our other new investigator lesson that was supposed to be last night, got moved to thursday, she had some work stuff come up. So we just keep praying that things will work out. It is definitely a trying area, but the Lord has people for us to teach. We just have to find them...
Well since I guess I told you everything over the phone yesterday. I love you all and miss you all a ton. I will talk to you next week after we pick up a handful of new investigators!! Love you all
Love Elder Dastrup
