Hey mom thanks for the email. This week here has been a bit of both good and bad. We have contracted some sort of cold that has us not feeling to well and we got stuck in the rain multiple days. IT got hot and i only have two short sleeve shirts, but we had some good days as well.

Thats cool your trip is coming up be safe! That is great news that your going to be sealed in the temple! Im way excited for you! We went to the temple this week with one of our investigators to show him and let him touch the temple and he was just in awe!

Tell Curtis to keep up the good work [school]! How long is the Certificate going to take? That would be so cool for him. then when I get home he can do physical therapy on me hahahah.

Oh too bad to hear about the trunk....HHAHHAHAHAH NOOOOTTTT that thing was rediculous lol. sorry mom had to say it. How are they [scooters] holding up otherwise?

One of the biggest misconceptions here is plural marriage. Oh and another funny one is that were not christians? Dont know where they get that but we get it alot. Even though we wear Jesus Christ's name on our tag.

Oh so all the times that you got dinner for the missionaries back home it pays off I am reaping the blessings here. People pay for food, groceries if were lucky, and rides and stuff its so awesome.

Here are this weeks scriptures to study
m-3 Nephi 23:5
t-3 Nephi 21:20-22
w-Jacob 6:12
t-Moroni 7:33
f-Moroni 7:45
s-Romans 1:16
s-3 Nephi 18:28-33

Yeah we helped them [McBrides] move some stuff around. If you ever want to let me know something just let her know and she will tell me. When you send me a shirt send me another one of the ENRO brand I really like that one. Nice I hope they [scooters] still run when I get home. How is my car running? haha I know for a fact that they [blessings/miracles] are not Luck !

Thanks for putting their names in the temple I really appreciate it.

My High was probably my last p day we played a game called bird flu some sort of dodge ball it was way fun cause we had like 30 people playing. But my low was how sore i was the rest of the week from playing. I went to the chiropractor and got some crack and that made me even more sore.

haha yeah it was even FREE CRACK haha! so there have been alot of robberies here on the public transportation like on the metros (train things comparible to trax) its crazy like way close to where we are too. But i bought a knife two weeks ago so no worries. lol

haha no he [the chiropractor] is in the other ward that meets in our building so he does it for free! haha and yes i really did buy a knife. I am not in the city though so its really not that bad. If only you could see East St. Louis its like all abandoned and scary scary!

well i am going to go shopping love you have a great week!

Well I am glad that this week was a good one for you! My week was so cool we set to dates this week!! One date with Mandy Pyeatt for May 16th then One for Gary Rojas for April 25th! I am so excited it will be my first baptisms if they go through! ........ So my week was really good besides the rain here! We got soaked and I mean soaked. we had to walk a few miles just to get stood up by our appointment then walked back home to dry our clothes, then walked another few miles to another one that stiffed us so we walked back to dry off. man it sucked. that was my low this week. My high of course was the B-dates and also hearing from My buddy Paul Stevenson he is on his mission in hawaii and has been there for 15 months and I have not been able to get ahold of him. He is in the st. james ward in our stake but he somehow got my address it was neat.


The Crowshaws that we live with are going to be coming to utah here soon and They would love to meet you so you should fly in to see grandpa or something and go to lunch with them. But I am going to have them call you and here is their number if they dont call you in a few days.

So how did you enjoy conference this week? I loved it so much! It was great. So this week we have a few dinner appointments with some members and on thursday at 5 we are going to take one of our investigators to the temple with the Jackson family who are members. They are so nice..for easter they made us bags with some peeps in it and a 10 dollar card to coldstone. They have us over for dinner like once a week its so cool. but they are taking us into st. louis to the temple then out to eat dinner. She is a photographer and she is going to take some pictures of me professionally then ill send them home on a disk. UPDATE MY BLOG GRRRRRRRRR!! haha. Well tell bonnie and jacob hi for me and send my love! Im waiting for that black bean burger recipe haha we have dinner with them tonight so if you could hurry and get it to me that would rock!

Well I love you all and keep in touch! freakin make the kids write a letter or something. Oh And does cade still wear that cross necklace or did he lose it already? cause when I was asking him why he wanted to wear it I have a reason why now. this is to cade and all of you to think about. Have you ever noticed that none of our churches have a cross anywhere? Well The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints worships the Risen Christ not the Fallen or Dead Christ. Think about this..if Jesus Christ was killed by a guillotine. Would you wear a guillotine around the neck? Or on our church? If he was killed by an electric chair, would you wear one around your neck? or represent it on the church? This is the reason why LDS do not have the cross representation anywhere. Just think about that. LOve you all and have a great week!

Dear Mom,
So today was quite a different P-day. We woke up early then decided to go into the city. We all as a district went to the city museum. This place was freaking crazy. It's not your typical museum. This place has like 7 stories of crazy little things you climb in, slides to go down, caves to explore, and all sorts of stuff. They also have like stuff on the roof but it was snowing so they closed it off. you can go online im sure and find pictures of the city museum there. Ill send a postcard to you i bought there as well. We then went to the union station mall and had lunch i had a really good gyro. its so funny all the black people here pronounce it and say the G like a J so its like they are saying JYRO haha but whatever. Opening day for the St. Louis Cardnials is today so there were alot of people in the city. Conference was really good as well. I think my favorite talk was the one about Member missionary work because that really helps us out as missionaries. It is the members job to find and its our job to teach so when members dont find and we have to it takes away from our ability to teach. So mom get out there and do you missionary work!!! I know its hard in UTAH of all places but you can do it to anyone. Its so exciting that you are going on that harley trip, be safe. Oh Sister Miller here really loved those pictures and she is going to be sending you a thank you letter or something here shortly she told me to tell you. I dont have scriptures this week it was a rushed P-day. My High for the last week was when we were teaching this lady Mandy Peyatte about the stop smoking workshop, one step is to crush their remaining cigarettes and so when she did it was so cool to watch and she was just shaking like crazy then said she felt wierd, and she recognized it as the spirit testifying of what she was doing was right. My low was....On Friday the 3rd we got jewed! like 3 appointments bailed and we got stuck walking home in the harsh rain, like dumping!!! It was so cold! We were like 3-4 miles from home.DONT BE GRUMPY!!! haha that is so funny mom that you were all impatient haha that is why i felt inspired to give that scripture to you!!! But patience is so good. Ask the bishop for a Preach My Gospel manuel and read over it as a family its so good! But thanks so much for the package! My glasses are fine and im so glad to have them, and those books. Well my time is short and we got to go shopping so I love you and will talk to you next week!!! TELL EVERYONE I LOVE EM'
Love Elder Nash
