hah funny story... so we've been working with this investigator for about a month now and he came up with this question that we couldn't answer... we got the dale city elders involved and they couldn't answer the question either so we decided to introduce him to president Riggs.... president Riggs is so amazing and in tune with the spirit... we had a 3 hour lesson at the mission home.. the whole time we talked about objectivity and relativity... all this crazy stuff... president kept answering this kids questions and they were PERFECT answers.... but the kid kept twisting and changing his ideas and kept contradicting himself... in the end when we got back to our apartment president called us and was like..."hes a great guy and i loved talking with him but i feel strongly about you needing to drop him because he is trying to convert you to Catholicism..." haha so hes gone... and this kid is only 19... crazy smart..

... i miss lake powell... make sure you keep those waverunners up and running so you can still have some fun!... and if calli goes make sure she does some sweet wakeboarding for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was playing zone sports.. they had it early this morning.

life is hot and humid... i cant walk to the car without sweating bullets...i sweat a lot..

we get rain but only at night and it just makes the humidity 10000000%

the spirit works in crazy ways...  we only have one real investigator... everyone else is going no where

well everything is "woods" here. my wards bad at referrals, we have done nothing but tracted and called and street contacted for the past few weeks..  i am proud to say tho that my arms have gotten to 17 1/2 inches around and I'm the strongest of the 4 guys in the apartment and in the top three in my zone.. that's really the only accomplishment i can say I've gotten for these past 2 months.. I'm going to talk to my zone leaders and tell them that i'm not ready to train so hopefully ill be transferred this transfer instead of elder bentley... cause its custom that after a greenie is done being trained then the greenie becomes a trainer...

i haven't been able to get to bed untilll midnight every night because everyone thinks our room is the party room and i just lay there in bed waiting for them to leave 

i pretty much figured id send a letter to every single living person i know to hopefully get a letter from someone.....

i do everything... i do lunges while holding a 35lb weight in each hand...i jump rope for half an hour... i am doing crazy bicep/tricep work outs cause i want to get to a 20" arm... 

Did I tell you that Nate met your new Mission President?  He actually was in their meetings at the MTC and was passing a mic around for them.

 that's awesome... president riggs is LEGIT...first time he met us all he already had everyone's names memorized..

Pctures

How was your 4th. Tell about all you did.

For the fourth we got to watch a parade with Winston (the 91 Year old WW2 Vet) and his daughter and grand daughter.. we then went back to Winston's house and taught the daughter and grand daughter about the plan of salvation... they are our two new investigators..

How are you handling the heat?

heat is nothing... it was 80 degrees yesterday and i though it was 70... so its not bothering me.

Ive always had power... our phones are gay tho and don't get service at our apartment.. .we only get service when we drive into our area...

They finished the gym floors and the smell was so bad that they couldn't hold church on our building so they had sacrament only at the stake center.

hah... gotta love new floors... i have forgotten what 3 hours of church is like... since i cover both the Bristow and Prince William wards every other Sunday i got to 7.5 hours of church....

Have you gotten to meet the new mission president yet?

President Riggs is awesome!.. he looks super young and acts super young... he brought along his family too... so its a little different..

Who was the guy in the suspenders in your picture? Did you by matching suspenders? You look happy.

the guy in the suspenders is pappy the toy maker... he has a closet full of those suspenders so he gave elder Bentley a pair... i look happy cause i am happy.. I'm always happy... 

Remember the lava rock rest stop in dubois Idaho? They tore it down and built a really nice one. It even smells new when you go in.

dang.. i miss that lava rock place... i used to skateboard there whenever we stopped there.. remember that??

please send pictures of the cars including mustang
