Week Twenty Seven - Arriving in Amarillo 3/16

Dear Friends and Family,

SO I AM IN AMARILLO! I serve in the 3rd Ward.
  
I love my companions. TODAY IS ELDER BLADEN'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!  Elder Bladen goes home after this and He was Elder Backus' Companion. He is a great guy. I love him to death. We're so similar it's weird. Then Elder Newberry is our Trainee! He is such a good kid! He is a little workhorse. I love him.  My address is  3631 Brennan Blvd  Apt #9f  Amarillo, TX 79121  My apartment is like 4.5 times bigger than my last one. And that is kind of how my area is. I am use to the Cabins that all the native americans live in. The houses here are HUGE!! Look up "The Colonies."  It's nuts!

Anyways. So I am in a car area, but all we have done is biked. And boy am I going to get into shape. I am getting not fat again!  haha.  But members feed us EVERY NIGHT. So I am kind maintaining some of it as well.
  
The people here are SO different from the Apache's I'm use to. It's pretty weird. I love it.
  
Then one day we met the funniest 90-year-old I have every met. She talked to us for literally an hour and a half. Her name was "Andis Anderson". She was so funny.
  
Also this week we had Pi Day. The date was { 3.14(15) 9:26.54 } That's a pretty uncommon thing as far as I am concerned. I was pretty impressed.
  
Then we were asked to go to a funeral for a Lady name Wanda Moreman. Yea. Say Siser Moreman out loud for me. Best name ever. It was a great funeral and graveside service. Super spiritual.
  
Oh and we got roped into the Ward choir... Hahaha.  This will be a great transfer.

I love the Lord. I am His Servant, and will do His will.

Love,

Elder Shawn Michael Murray
