Monday: We ventured to Altoona to go bowling at Bass Pro because we had a coupon for it. However, it expired on the first which it was the first so we were joking with the manager that this might be a April fools joke. To my delight the manger was not down and it was way expensive so we weren't bowling. Then Elder Barker wanted to go to a music shop to fix his guitar and so we all went to this dinky one in the middle of nowhere and we all bought dumb instruments such as nose flutes, kazoos, and like a mouth harp or something. So this whole time Elder Judy and I are on exchanges pretty much cause our comps are on a hike with the other district. Well we went to the church called our families and stuff and then to our surprise they didn't come back . So we went to our dinner and then we went to a lesson where we invited Keirra to Be baptized and she accepted and her dad was way supportive. So cool to see these great things happen.
Tuesday: we had interviews with The Badgers and it was a pretty typical interview cycle the district council was pretty much all about the safety zone, but me being an obedient missionary I had already watched them without being told by any mission leader. We then went to a subpar taco shop with our zone and pretty much studied and then did some typical missionary work.
Wednesday.We did typical studies and then we went and did some morg time which is mormon.org
time. So we then went to lunch at my apartment with other missionaries. Well I had the idea to just make us go into trios and get back and so I went with the Ankeny Elders to my delight they were like you have to keep a secret and are you down to do this. Well since y'all know me I am not hard to persuade. So they threw a pair of shorts at me and a cut up shirt at me and I was like what are y'all doing. Then they said put it on so then I did. Then we showed up and it was a good old time because we had a bbq in full hillbilly style and it took the other elders off guard it was too funny. Then we got into normal clothes right after we teased the other Elders.

Thursday: Thursdays are for the boys as we call it in our district . Our zone leaders were with another set of Elders on an exchange so there were 8 Elders in Ankeny at one time. Plus it was one of their birthdays so we had a good time. We all worked and it was a great time. We do this thing where we do not eat lunch till 4:00 and then we go to this Tavern that has cheap appetizers and the waitress knows us so well she doesn't have to take our order. It was too bad cause this day we didn't have the same waitress so we didn't get the hook ups that we usually get. We then went to dinner with the birthday Elder and Elder Stoddard at a members house then we went and played basketball it was wild I stopped playing because it got to heated and I was not about to get injured plus I knew it was bad that everyone was yelling at each other of course none of the missionaries were so I bailed and just talked to Elder Delyhoyd.
Friday: We did our service and had another bbq lunch with the other Elders. Well after that Elder Housholder and I were doing a comp study we realized it was 2:15 and we had a lesson at 2. To our dismay we were still in service clothes so we threw on some clothes and hopped on the Bikes and started hauling to get to the appointment. Well I was like going a decent speed but my comp was hauling we went through this ghetto alley way but it wasn't ghetto at the same time cause its Ankeny. Then we get on the side walk straight to our appointment and the side walk dipped down a lot and next thing I know I see my comp doing a front wheelie and I was like I guess that's cool but then I realized he was crashing but he did a front wheelie for about 12 feet then fell off his bike and then his bike flew over him probably another five feet. It was the most dramatic slow mo thing I have seen on my mission. So I get to him and I am like you ok and he looks pretty distraught and he said to me I am fine but my favorite pants aren't. We then went to the lesson and no one was there so we called to get picked up and the other Elders were shocked cause Elder Housholder had wiped blood on his face to make it look worse then it was. He only scraped up his knee and a lil of his hands. We then went to a lesson with a less active family and then got taken by a member to Hyvee Hibachi which is like great value Huhot, but it is like the same price as well. Then he was "driving us home" but then he was like would it be ok to come to my place and help me with some wood so we said yes little did we know we would be moving lumber in proselytizing clothes.
Saturday: General conference we were at the church for the first session and the second one we went to the mission home it was a good time we had lunch there and then we watched conference it was good to see some people that I hadn't in a long Time.
Sunday: We had breakfast and watched Conference with a family and it was a good time. Then the second session we watched with another family and they fellowship Keirra so they invited her to watch it with them and she came. We then had dinner with them and as we were leaving Keirra said I will see you guys tomorrow and she was hyped which made us hyped.
I hope y'all liked conference and I invite you to choose a talk and use it in your daily lives.
Love y'all
Elder Caylor Hunsaker
