I gave her your information to stop by and say hi. Her name is michol rosenbalm. she is so cool! So lets see this week we went to the Art Festivle here in downtown belleville and checked out the art. there was a lady from moab utah and a man who loved to take pictures of zion. but that was way cool. That is so cool about the car. what model and stuff I am going to look online. So this week I got two liscence plates one illinois and one oklahoma ill be sending home with a shirt from harley and some other things. We also got dog tags that are in the same format as our name tags we have an investigator that works in the mall making them for the army so she made us some. My new companion is going to be the new district leader so Ill be the district leader buddy or (DLB) haha my high this week was the art festivle and my low was the rain. I also found a dead turtle and I am keeping its shell how cool huh! haha i cant believe he has a date???? haha how crazy! So today were going on base and going to play raquet ball with some of the young men in the ward who's parents are in the airforce so they can get us on base. well ill wait to hear from you i only have a short time to email today but If you dont write back tell cade I say happy birthday saturday! Love you all and send my package!!!! Elder Nash

so this week i forgot to mention we had two way crazy "bashes" with people. this one guy was pretty nice about it but then this older man was mowing the lawn across the street from our ward mission leaders home and sought us out and was yelling "jehovas!" and we said no told him who we were and then he went off pretty much telling us were going to hell and we need to exept Jesus as our savior and other things. He just went off! haha and we kept rebuttling the things that he said. then he was like your young and you need to search out these things a little bit more and so i just threw it back in his face and said he needs to read the book of mormon and he was like oh no way and I just kept telling him he needed to read it with real intent and then I pretty much was calling him a hypocrite for it and it was just way funny!

It just strenghthens my testimony of these things.
