Howdy y'all! If I were Elder Fullenwider (yes that is his name, when you eat a lot of food what do you get? Full 'n' wider) that's what I would say, he's from Flower Mound, Texas, which is in the Dallas area. We give him a lot of crap because of his name, one of the sisters calls him Elder Fat'n'Chubby because of the way he described how to say his name. I realized in the last email that I didn't really give a description of the district I'm in. My comp Elder Roley is from Washington state, on the Canadian border. He makes more fun of canadians than I do. Elders Fullenwider, Coburn and Netane are a trio. Fullenwider is a loud mouth, and always has something to say, usually inappropriate. Elder Coburn is a goof, he's always dancing or singing some crazy dance or song that he just made up. Elder Netane (net-on-A) is the strong silent type, the kind of guy that when you look at him you don't want to mess with him lest you lose your life. We have a trio of sisters in the district also, and I love them all very much. Sister Maybin reminds me a lot of Tania, Sister Pearson is one of my kinfolk, meaning a dwarf. But she is very kind, and very smart, she's actually already graduated from BYU and decided she had nothing better to do than to come on the mish. Sister Warner, makes me think of Sister Wilson a lot, in the way that she always has a story to tell that will help us learn. We've all become very close, and more like a family than anything else. All of the Elders will be in the Roseville Mission with me, so there's always opportunity to see them again. The sisters are heading to the Philly mission. But we plan on keeping in touch.
One of the most amazing things I've noticed since I've been set apart is the capacity for love has grown, and it's so easy to love someone you don't even know. Our first morning here, we watched these videos from a New York Times website called one in a million (might be billion) that is all about people that have overcome some really hard situations in life. It was so easy to love those people after watching their videos, I don't even know them and want them to be happier. It's amazing really. It's crazy what the Lord does to bless His missionaries. I hope you are all feeling the blessings as well. I love you all very much and I'll talk to you again soon, if you have any specific things you want to hear about send an email back with it in the subject line. I'll be sure to follow up! Peace an' Blessin's, Peace an' Blessin's!
