Monday: it was a typical day we arose and sent some emails and then went shopping. Got some supplies then I got 20 dollars in cash out cause we were going to go mob around this Amish Shop in Lamoni and we went down to Lamoni and went to this amish shop. The thing that triggers me is in this amish shop it was candy and stuff from OHIO not Iowa and I see amish people all the time out here. So I bought some candy and then since most of Lamoni is RLDS because Joseph Smith III lived there we went and toured his house. It was pretty interesting learning about their religion because it's pretty much ours and then Joseph Smith died then they were mis guided. So that was pretty cool seeing there stand point plus it was a cool old house with vintage stuff. I did feel bad because some missionaries that were with us were basically like why did you believe this your wrong. I felt bad because the lady giving the tour was so nice.
Tuesday: it was car appreciation day which means we walked all around town talking to people. So we walked and went by people and we ended up finding our selves by Walmart so we bought Gatorade and chilled there for a hot second. We ended up walking 6 miles. So that was a great work out but it was 88 degrees with humidity which made it worse. We also had some explicit stuff yelled at us which you usually here that stuff but we were kind of walking targets but we talked with some nice people though.
Wednesday: We had our last interview with President and Sister Badger. It was great. It is always so much fun talking with them and getting to hear all the rumors about Iowa city. Yeah RIP our mission headquarters is going to Iowa City. It is also pretty funny there is a senior couple in our zone and we call each other cousin cause we figured out we are distantly related. Plus they are just fun to be around we then went to Red Robin which I always forget how good it is. With our zone it was pretty great but kind of pricey. We then went back to Creston and barbecued on exchanges and ate some burgers.
Thursday: We continued our exchange and Elder Cionco and I went out and went by some people and at one of the houses that we went by a policeman pulled up and pointed at us and whispered to us hey come here. So we did what ever good missionary would do and we trotted quietly to him. He said do you all wanna help me out. We were like oh we would love to help you out. Granted we were like o man something crazy is gonna happen and we are going to have this awesome mission story. He told us go knock on that door. So we did and then a lady came and said go away Jehovah Witnesses and we were like we aren't Jehovah Witnesses we are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Then the cop went up and was like is so and so here and the lady was like nah she's probably off doing drugs. So moral of the story don't do drugs or you will get two missionaries and a police officer sent after you. We then said thank you to the police man and he thanked us. It's good now because if he ever pulls a missionary over he will hopefully get em off the hook. We then bbqued and let me tell you. We literally had no food after the exchange and I barley ate we got raised pretty bad
Friday: we basically planned all day.
Saturday: We had a lesson with a guy named Rome who is wild. That man can talk for two hours. It was a good lesson. We then went by some folks. Then we went to Stake Conference, which was go to the Lenox building and watch it on a TV. So we went their and the Stake Presidency got reassigned. So there were two area seventies there and they were both way charismatic. We saw our whole zone on the TV made me feel kind of banished. But Elder Brian K Taylor was awesome to watch. The Elder Spencer Griffin or Griffith was also a great guy. He is a rancher in Montana so he had some good stories. Plus the flow of how the meeting went was awesome. Plus the Badgers spoke and so that was a plus.
Sunday: They reorganized the Stake presidency and it was another great meeting. I have not been as entertained by church meeting like this in a while for both days everything just kept you on your feet. We then came home and Elder Stewart was sick and then we went by some people.
Love y'all
