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

YooHoo 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.
