Well to start of my email life was pretty hectic we woke up at 4:00 and then we went to the travel office then boarded a bus. Then we got off the bus got on trax and then we had to get off walk like half a mile get on transit and then get to the airport. It was crazy and I am so grateful that I was able to talk to my amazing family. Thursday was tough because me and my companion are white washing our area which the city we are in is Macomb, Illinois which is where the University of Western Illinois is if you can not find the city. So we knocked on doors and then got two new investigators the first night. Then the second night we got two more. So its pretty exciting but a lot of people are not interested they are pretty nice though because they say go give others Jesus. A older man let us in and started talking politics so I thought that was funny so I found out Romney is in the congress election. We basically tracked the rest of the week so that is how my life has pretty much been. Knocking on doors we have found some interesting people. On Sunday we went to church there are four elders (missionaries) in Macomb so all of us bore our testimonies on Sunday which was good I accidentally put on my wrong suit pants with my top and realized that half way through church so oops. Then we went tracting a ton and then had dinner with an older couple who is super in to plays and stuff so that was interesting, but I got a full stomach something that I have not felt in forever. Also the mission rules are pretty strict on emailing so I can email everyone but can only email for 1 hour and a half and I can only email back and fourth with family. I love you all and hope to hear from you!
Love,
Elder Hunsaker
PS
Well a member drove us from Iowa City and was calling Macomb a college town, but its like the only normal town for a long town. It's in the middle of no where, but it has Buffalo Wild Wings and it also has a Walmart, which is nice I am buying like corn dogs and stuff to survive the members will feed us 3 times a week so that's fun, I have spaghetti and stuff. Its just me and my companion the other elders live on the other side of town, I wish we lived together that would make it so much better. We live in an apartment that's hooked on to a members house shes an older lady that had it for her parents when they got old and they have been dead for a while. She also likes the blessings of the missionaries so its cool. The elders before us thrashed the apartment so we have had to clean it . If my mom thought I was a mess she would go ballistic on those guys. I was disgusted by it. I have realized I have a clean side and a ton of missionaries are born in a barn.
