Monday: Lol Monday was a hoot so pretty much on the Sunday my comp Elder Housholder ran into a chair rack but he is fine. But we were afraid of scaring so we had to take our fallen comrade to a plastic surgeon in Des Moines after we emailed. So we were running around in the hospital and all these people thought we were residents so I guess we looked smart. We then went and did exchange things as the day went on and all slept at the pad(my apartment). I also said bye to Keirra and taught her one final lesson it was a great lesson but to get transferred when she has like 2 or 3 things left to be taught was hard but it's going to be awesome hopefully being able to come to her baptism.
Tuesday: after much anticipation. I got a call telling me that I would be going to Lenox. The good news is Elder Housholder had served there and basically all transfer told me all about how awesome Lenox is. Lenox is kinda hated on in our mission and called banishment. But I was pumped cause Lenox had been shut down for 5 weeks. I also said bye to the Cox's a super cool family that always had us over for dinner.
Wednesday: So basically this our p day during transfer week so it consisted of a bunch of fun. We basically went to a park played tennis then played ultimate frisbee then got yelled at to get off the fields so they would look nice lol. So then we pretty much went and talked and said bye to each other. We also had one last bbq for the boys. I am going to miss all these Ankeny homies they are truly great guys plus our zone overall was bomb. We then went and said bye to the Bullocks a family that the parents went to USU and the kids plan to. Both them and the Coxs said I was one of their favorite missionaries. We then were invited to a baseball game at a member in the Ankeny ward so we watched a few innings cause we really had nothing else to do.
Thursday: We woke up and we said bye to each other. The ones remaining on this side of the mission me/Stoddard/Barker/Housholder and we picked up another missionary as well went to Mcdonalds with a recent convert then we went to Raygun a super overrated store that all the missionaries go to. I do not recommend that store at all, not good vibes at all. Then we went to a Scheels and that place was awesome. I met my comp Elder Stewart and we drove from Des Moines to Lenox and had dinner with our branch president he is a great guy and can't wait to work with both the Branch President and Elder Stewart. FYI, Elder Stewart is from Jerusalem, Utah so he is from the boonies but he is a great kid and we have had some fun.
Friday: We weekly planned and went by a few people and got a dinner appointment with an ex army sniper so that's gonna be fun Elder Housholder told me to go find him so that's what I did. He has a souped up Ford Raptor. We traveled to Osceola for district council and it is a highway city so its booming and we saw some Utah licence plates
Saturday: We were in a town called Corning going by some people who were supposedly being taught, but weren't down cause Elder Stewart and I are whitewashing so that means we are both new to the area. And a member spotted us and invited us for dinner it was a super good dinner and the members seemed super missionary minded.
Sunday: We had Branch Council and then we had church. The spirit was so strong in this little congregation. It was very humbling. These people most of them travel over 30 minutes to get there. You could tell they all had a desire to be there and be united. You couldn't help but feel the excitement and the enthusiasm of these good old Iowans. I know that this branch is going to grow and it is going to be magnificent to see this growth. I truly love the people in this branch even barley knowing half of their names. We then went to track down more people and so we drove to all these boonie towns all in our area. We live in Creston which has about 7,000 people and a Walmart and Hibbet Sports and some local restaurants it's really a nice town. But the other towns are tiny. We were at one of the towns and we realized we were close to Missouri and so we thought we'd go check it out turns out we have like a sliver of Missouri in our area but, it's like barley any and all it has is a biker bar. So that was cool.
Love Y'all
Elder Caylor Hunsaker
