Hey famliy, I am so glad to hear things are going good for you! That is so crazy that Joey is going there! Im so glad that I am serving here in the united states. I cant wait until I get that package! I am dying for that book It has such good information in it and I could use it all. How far is the laughlin ride? I would go in a heart beat so i am thinking you should go! I am so jealous. Yeah I have been talking to trent back and forth but he has not mentioned anything about a volcano. I have a family here in my ward that is from alaska and knows exactly where he is serving and knows families that live there. this past week has been tough, both me and my companion have been way sick. we sat home for three whole days because we were sick. we were flowing from both ends of the body. It was bad. we must have eaten something bad or something but by the third day I could not stand to sit there any longer. I had watched every approved movie i could over and over. I was dying. and you know how much i love to read! so i didnt care how i felt after three days i was getting out of the house. we are teaching this part member family the Schepplars. they are great the husband has expressed some interest in getting baptized and we went over for dinner the other day and got him to pray for the first time vocally and when he was finished he started to cry and it was the best prayer that I have ever heard. I felt the spirit so much. but all the families that I teach are just amazing! I could spend all day talking about them. but anyways....how is the familia?.........

well jeez just wait til they [Azure and Cade] get out on their own! haha I had to clean today and its not so bad lol but they have no clue how easy they have it. Yeah I am feeling way better now. I cant really thing of anything else that I could use out here but more shirts (shortsleeve of course) but Its going good here i cannot believe how close it is already to transfers. it is on the 8th. We have had alot of members ask if they could take us to nauvoo and Our mission president usually says no but we are going to ask him tomorrow and pray he says yes!! DIdnt you go to like liberty Jail and some stuff not too long ago.........

Transfers is every 6 weeks. I really hope I go as well. But we have a lady here sister miller....who takes care of us but she wants to come out and see the massacre at mountain meadows so if you could get time to get up there maybe take a harley ride up there and take some pictures for her that would be great like the names and stuff cause the people killed were like related to her or something I cant remember but she is fascinated with that. but yeah we will go for sure.. so I have been looking at cd's on deseret book and might order one its 20 dollars. but did you get my check from village inn? .........

Yeah it is David Glen Hatch! but I am going to get a different one so feel free to send me one if you feel so inclined. How much was my check?.........

Well he [David Glen Hatch] is that good! lol but If you could put that check into my account that would rock cause since this was my first area and I had to buy some necessary stuff like laundry soap and stuff I used up my 130 dollars quite fast!.......

Yeah we are allotted a half hour in the morning [for exercise] but we hardly ever do it. we are so tired and stuff so i just do it whenever we get some spare time. that is great mom keep up the good work! dont loose faith! well my time is pretty much up so I will talk to you another time. hopefully you can get me that package soon. Love you all and i will most likely be sending a letter home today. BYE

So i have a few things I need you to or would like you to send to me. If you have finished that book that bishop gave me I would like that. If you could get on the desktop computer and get my farewell talk it should be saved to the desktop still but I would love that I keep remembering things that I wrote in there and would love it just email it and I should be able to print it off here but im only here today so....or just send that remember the promise book. If you could find my sunglasses the Oakleys they should be in my storage closet in a shoebox in their case I would love those as well. I dont know why i did not bring them stupid me.

Things are going good here though its tough to stay positive because were so tired all the time and people are just so closed off its crazy. Im so glad to hear the house got rented its crazy that probably happened right after I prayed about it haha. PRAYER ITS AMAZING!...........My comp just turned 21 on the 8th ....haha sorry im hyper. So we went and watch david glen hatch last night OMG he is amazing. If you have not heard of him look him up because he is one of the most amazing pianists ever. You should buy his cd copy it and send me a copy .. anyway he lives in orem and one of his students is here on this mission and had him come and play a fireside for this whole area it was beautiful. I got his john hancock.....Sweet tell grant that I say congrats and tell me when joey gets his!! IS my plaque up yet? thanks for talking to bishop cause I really would like that soon.

Thank you for getting that bike i really appreciate it! I cant wait to get it im so sick of walking everywhere! Its okay that they would only ship there cause i gave you the wrong address my companion must be dislexic cause its 2231 Trowbridge Ct not 3321. But oh well I hope you did not send anything else to that address. Did you get the card I sent? Sorry it was late but I thought that card was funny so I had to get it. Things are good here the work is going good we have some solid investigators. Although they are being a little stubborn on getting baptized but it will all work out. Umm its getting pretty hot here and these long sleeve shirts are killing me I hate to keep asking you to send stuff but a few short sleeve shirts would be really nice. I wear size 15 so..you could even just put some money on my debit and i could buy them myself, but the humidity is gettin bad........

Tyler Nash to me Mar 2

Hey family how are you! Happy birthday yesterday, It sucked that I couldn't call but oh well. This area is way cool! I have met so many people with a connection to back home. Just like when I got my call that I found people with a connection to St. Louis. Its just crazy. So a few members of the ward know a doctor with the last name of Benham that is in our stake they live by marty I went to school with a few of his daughters. But he used to be in the ward that I am serving in. iTs cool the ward here covers my whole area its huge. and back home a ward is like a few blocks its just funny. The people here love to feed us. We have only had to do dinner ourselves once. and we ate at a pizza place called papa vitos we had a pulled pork bbq pizza, oh boy delicious it was! But we are doing an insane amount of walking by the way I need you to either buy a bike off of Ctr bikes and send it to me or something cause I need a bike we are a biking area so that is a priority I need it soon too! I cant walk ten miles everyday anymore. its killing me. The ctr bikes one should be the best because it comes with teh helmet and everything so im gonna try and stay on here as long as possible so I can chat back and forth with you.

Love you Elder Nash.
