well we do nothing but tract so i have lots of different experiences. we've had everything from people calling the cops on us to crazy baptists pretty much pulling us in the house to give us water...  we meet a lot of preachers/ministers. everyone around here think they are saved because i know god exists or crazy things like "gos spoke to me through my dog hah" and things like that... we've been yelled at, cursed at, flipped off, hugged, and almost kissed.. hahah its such a variety of people here... Buddhist-Baptist to Catholics and Muslim... i don't know if i told you but we had the opportunity to have a lesson with our investigator and president at the mission home... it was amazing! president riggs is the most spiritual guy I've ever met... he is bound to be an apostle soon!!. so this catholic is 19 years old and is big into logic's.. we talked about things from happiness being relative or objective to god and whether he is a linear god or if he himself have his own god he looks up to and all this crazy stuff... after the lesson president called us and was like i advise you to discontinue all communication with this kid because he is just trying to convert you to Catholicism. sooo.. as of right now we have 1 investigator in prince william and a whopping ZERO investigators in bristow ward. transfers are this Thursday. zone conferences are once a month. district meetings are once a week. ive only had one companion(my trainer.) we have 1 lesson a week. .we have 0 member presents. i still don't know what its like to teach a real full lesson.. they've all just been question and answer lessons with the same person. we find 0 investigators a week. we can stay out till 930 if teaching a lesson. muscle strength is great.. im on creatine. my muscles are 17.5 and solid as a rock. i now flex in my suit and my sleeve is so tight i cant pinch any fabric.. i just do shopping emailing and letters and sports on p-day.. nothing out of the ordinary.. we are going to the marine museum at quantico today tho..we get $165 a month for food and such... so not much.. im sorry i don't write just normal emails.. ill try to do it but i just don't know what to write about lol

well its been about 85 this past weeks so its been a bit chilly... at 85 is when we turn the ac off and just roll down the windows...

       

we have CVS.. our other stores here are Giant, Food lion, Harris Teeters, and walmart

well lets see here... so we got pranked by our district leader a few days ago and our roomate elder forrest got suuuper upset... it was funny cause the district leaders came over while my companion and i were home but they were so quiet we didn't even know they were there so they messed up the place then dipped out.. we had this super long talk with forrest so he wouldn't call president. i did most the talking. forrest kept coming up with ideas to try and prove me wrong and make me feel sorry for him. but in the end i got him to apologize to everyone. he told us he was bullied in high school and his entire life goal is to get revenge on anyone who tries to mess with him... so he just tries to make everyone feel bad
