hey‏

IT has been a crazy week with transfers and everything going, i got transferred to Kinston so i was close where i thought i was going it is right next door to Alburson. We cover the western half of Kinston and it is very rural, a lot of farm land and a lot of area. It is a lot different then my last area, Apex was more of a city and had a lot of smart people and a lot of out of state people coming to work in the triangle and Kinston is Hick. i can talk to people a lot easier though because they are not as smart as the people in Apex. and the area is twice the size of my last one, Just the past couple of days i have been here we have biked around 120 miles that is like four days of biking so a lot of area to cover. i think from border to border of our area is over thirty miles. so ya it is a good little distance. So when i got my Call Grandma Phillips was telling me we had so relatives that live in North Carolina? the reason i ask is because there is quite a few Phillips in this area we actually live on a street called Alton Phillips so i was just curious.
So my new companion is Elder Alexander he is originally from Washington DC then moved to Utah, he is actually a convert to the church he was a baptist. We get a long pretty well, i live in a four man apartment so there is always something going on. One of the other elders his dad is a truck driver also, he lives in St. George i believe. I have slowly been cleaning the apartment because it was destroyed! So we found a really crazy guy this week. As we were biking a long some guy pulls into his drive way and shouts out Do YA WANT A COLD ONE! and he had a beer in his hand, so we go over there and he gave us coca cola and later he did offer us beer, but all he wanted to talk about is guns and hunting he said that he wants to move to south Idaho because there is the least number of people there in the world and he told us that if we want to go hunting he would take us and have us back by lunch the next day, but if we went that there would be drinking swearing and talk about women but it is all in good fun. He really liked to swear, so as we are talking to him he shouts out to his friend and a flips him off! so his friend comes over and he has a tattoo on his should that has FBX which is his nick name Fat ___ Express they were crazy but fun to talk to. Oh and he pulls out this Hand gun to show us out of the trunk and he unloads it to give it to us, and when we hand it back he loads it and cocks it, so he has a loaded gun in his trunk! Then he proceeded to tell us how he likes Mormons because they horde stuff and when the crap hits the fan we will be ready, he follows our example my hording guns and ammo. SO that was the highlight to this week, i hope all is well, i love you all.
Love
Elder Phillips
