Monday: We Squaded up and went down to Bloomington-Normal yes that's the name lol . It's where state farm is based and also it is home to Illinois State. It's a pretty great place and isn't ghetto tbh it's pretty nice. Basically we played ball and we are all equally trash which is nice instead of having these competitive ball players. We then called home and stuff so it was pretty fun. We then drove to sonic for a beverage before we drove back to Pontiac then. A member wanted to meet and it was a super awkward experience. So fyi dont be that awkward member to missionaries.
Tuesday: We woke up and helped our homies at the food pantry and helped them unload a truck. They are some good old homies they all have good stories and it's been awesome getting to know them as we serve them. We unloaded a ton of meats cupcakes and bananas. It was also awesome because one of the old guys actually knew where Logan was and was pretty impressed when he went there. He also likes running so I talked to him about that. We then went by a guy being taught and met his son and he was super lit and so we are super excited to see where he goes.
Wednesday: Our Homie Bill from the food pantry called us and was like are you guys available to come help us. And we was like o yes we are down. He then proceeds to tell us that they are expecting 200 watermelons. Yes I said it 200 watermelons. He said that so causally I was like o man that's a lot of melons. So we got there and a little earlier. The old ladies bless there heart they did what every good grandma would do feed you. So one of our from Carol who is like 86 gave me a muffin. And so I tried to eat the whole muffin but I couldn't . For those of you that don't know I ain't no breakfast guy. Then they gave me pineapple scallop. Which was good but it just made me more full. We then talked to our homies and got to know them. We heard some good back in nam stories. We also heard all about Carol's life which was cool. We ended up sitting there for an hour in a half before we had to go and the watermelons never came. The pantry homies were kind of mad
. They kept on making jokes that the driver got robbed in the south side of Chicago lol. Everyone out here makes fun of Chicago it's pretty funny tbh😂😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸. WE then went to a place called McDonald's for lunch even tho I wasn't that hungry I didn't just want noodles. I also did a cover of hey their Deliah with my goat companion who knows how to guitar it up .
Thursday: we had district council. It was good just like any other meeting and we had some good food . It was nice seeing everyone but we had some changes to our missionary work which I ain't a fan of, but I will trust in the Lord #Blessings. Then we drove back and had a lit time back in Pontiac. We checked out the prison let me tell you y'all should all Google the Pontiac penitentiary. It's pretty old and crazy looking. We then did some more missionary work then. We worked on two more covers and that was fun.
Friday: We awoke and then pretty much we went by our guy Joshua and met his dad and his sister. They are all super cool. They would be an awesome addition to the branch. We then had a member dinner and it was a great time. In a town caller Chenea.
Saturday: Saturday is a special day it's when we get bashed by Black Israelites. So fyi most of you probably don't know what a black Israelite is. They basically believe that Jesus, moses and pretty much any prophet is black. They also believe that you must cleave unto the black people to get accepted into heaven. Which is kind of weird i mean it's like not cleaving unto God and jesus. He also got his information from a YouTube post called big judah. I asked him about how big Judah had authority and he could not tell me. He also told us all about how we were being dammed and how our church is just a branch of off of the catholic church which we told him multiple times that was false. Get this but he believes in the book of mormon but believes that only black people can truly translate and we can't understand it. Lol Joseph Smith the prophet was white who translated it. He then went on and talked about slavery and all this stuff and the 50 stars are all satanic. Which makes no sense because you could ask a third grader and they will say because the United States has 50 states. We also saw some Republic of Chiraq propaganda on his YouTube history. I was so mad because it's like one thing to hate on the church. And it's one thing to hate on the country. But like he was giving zero respect to both and I was getting mad. I haven't gotten mad that much on my mission but let me tell you. I and my companion Elder Hill we were triggered. For two hours we endured this which was wild. We then went to Arbys because we both like let's chill and have a good time after that tense moment.
Sunday: Was a good day we went to church and Elder Hill gave a talk and it was pretty good talk. We then had Sunday school and I got to meet a family that is a husband and wife and they are both dentists who have Book Of Mormons at their practice. They also have a video on comeuntochrist.org about their conversion which I will put a link to it(https://www.comeuntochrist.org/belong/welcome/carleys-book-of-mormon) (fyi the picture of them at church is not in Pontiac, Pontiac has a tiny church)O yes in Pontiac we have some good people but we also have some crazies. I also got to meet some other members. Well in Galesburg some members called me Elder Hunslinger and now it's back lol some members call me that here. Got to love Illinois. We then talked to our pops which was fun. I definitely enjoyed talking to my dad and talking to the rest of my family. Since it was fathers day I'll give my dad a shout out. He definitely has been great role model in my life and I am truly grateful for his example.
Sincerely
Elder Caylor Hunsaker
Ps:If you find 200 watermelons let me know
