## Early Life

David William Waller was born on September 8, 1986, in Minneapolis to Brian and Sue Waller. He was the couple's fifth child, and they went on to have five more children after him.

David's parents pulled their oldest two children out of kindergarten after disapproving of some of the things they were learning from other children. By the time David was old enough to begin school, the family was a homeschool family. The family called their homeschooling Gloria Dei Academy.

David became a Christian at three years old, but still suffered with sin as he grew older. At twelve years old, he attended a Basic Seminar, where he recommitted his life to Christ.

David was a creative child, who was good at coming up with new inventions of homemade toys out of common found objects. He also bred mice as a child.

David grew up doing many chores around the house, and his family did not stick to traditional gender roles when it came to assigning chores. Due to this, David knew how to do tasks like laundry and cooking that many of his male peers did not learning rowing up. His parents also worked to instill a passion for helping others in their children, so Paul often volunteered in nursing homes as a teenager.

After being born in Minneapolis, David moved many times as a child. He considered Chicago his hometown after living there for nine years. While living in Maryland, he learned how to take care of horses and grow tomatoes. He was fascinated by science and biology, and began studying nutrition, chemistry, and biology at fourteen years old.

David began volunteering with children at fifteen years old. He worked in the public schools and taught weekly bible clubs in community centers. He also travelled to Australia on a mission trip with his brother Adam and on a mission trip to Mexico with his parents.

## Family

### Courtship

David first met Priscilla Keller in March of 2008 while she was on a Journey to the Heart where David was working. He did not feel ready to pursue a relationship at that time. He started thinking about Priscilla more over the next few years. In 2010, David talked to her family about his attraction for Priscilla. In July of 2011, he talked more about his short-term goals and his desire to pursue a relationship. After getting his number from Josh Duggar, David called Priscilla's father, Mike Keller, in September of 2011 and asked for his permission to court Priscilla. Mr. Keller asked him to memorize Romans 10, Isaiah 58, and Luke 15 before he could begin this relationship. He was given full permission to begin their courtship on September 20, 2011. On November 10, 2011, David asked Priscilla to enter an official courtship at her parents' home in Florida.

### Engagement

After reading scriptures together, David asked Priscilla to marry him on November 16, 2011, saying “Would you join me in following Christ to be my wife, best friend, and faithful prayer warrior; to live together, travel together, serve together, and if need be die for the cause of Christ? Will you marry me?” Her reply was, "I would be honored".
