Where's Nashville?
Cory and his two companions
The zone, most are going to Nashville
I'm sending this without modifications or corrections. It would just take too long. Usually I will change the names of people for security reasons. Another side note. Cory is well above the age that he could serve but needed a little more time to mature. After reading this it appears some others could have benefitted by another year or so. Ironic that he seems to be the more mature. Enjoy. Mom Felix

Hello family!
well, first week in. feels like 20 weeks. so, after you saw me, i went to a
room and met a couple of other elders going to places all over the globe. one
of them, Elder Hagen, is going to nashville too. just jokingly, we said,
"Ha wonder if we'll be companions." He's one of my mtc companions
who's sitting right next to me right now. he says hi. And yes, "ONE of my
companions" I have two. elder hagen is from eastern colorado and elder
peery is from virginia. my whole zone is going to nashville except for two
elders who're going to oklahoma. my zone consists of two districts. my district
has my two comps and i and 4 sisters. There is sister mellor, sister kholer,
sister richardson, and sister tebbs. the other district consists of elder
brown, elder tsosie (sosie), elder hardman, elder pederson, elder hamling, and
elder frie. elder hardman and elder pederson are the two going to oklahoma
which makes me kinda sad cause they're the two elders i've gotten to be good
friends with. The scripture i wanted on my plague is john 15:13. it should be
the one that says no greater love hath a man than this that a man lay down his
life for his friends. now just for fun, i shall associate friends with movie
stars. sister kholer looks like scarlet johansen or black widow from avengers,
and my teacher brother corbitt looks like a mix between the byu oldspice guy
and frozone from incredibles.
Elder Hagen has been sick for the past couple of days. on sunday, he wasn't feeling
good at all so branch president menlove sent him to get some sleep. elder peery
and i went to choir practice and elder hardman watched hagen. when we came back
from practice, they were gone. we called the front desk who said they went to
insta care. we're all OH CRAP!!! we then went to a devotional and when we got
back, hagen was back in his bed. they tested him for strep but couldn't cause
he has "a strong gag reflex". we've had to alternate shifts on who
watches him since we have a tripanionship. the other district has helped too.
we were going to take him to the health clinic yesterday but because of
memorial day, we couldn't. so we took him this morning. waiting on tests. i'm
having a hard time with my comps. elder hagen has been homeschooled his whole
life, so he doesn't really have good social skills and elder peery has the
maturity of a 6 year old. anytime he burps or passes gas, he laughs
uncontrolably. and he wont stop reading out loud in bad impressions of
president monson and morgon freeman.
i can't
figure out how to move pictures from my camera on this computer so, i'll try to
send them later in another computer lab.
class is long and hard but i'm
learning a lot. it's hard to stay awake. as well as wake up at 6:30 in the
morning.
not really
sure what else there is too write. if i remeber something or something happens,
i'll try to get to another computer lab or let you know next week.

nope thats wrong. -Elder Felix
