Well hello there on Wednesday I will hit 18 months pretty wild isn't.
Tuesday: We had a lesson with Gene and then I was able to call Eden and tell her happy birthday which was coool.
Wednesday: We went and saw the British Pageant it is just so great being able finally see it. It's really cool because it talks about the people being converted in the United kingdom. It's also pretty cool with all the bagpipes. I honestly can not decide which pageant I like better. We went down with a member and a woman who went another church who was trying to convert our person being taught Gene. It was really awkward. Definitely something that I have not seen before.
Thursday:We had 2 lessons. One with A woman named Marianne and we were able to teach her. Then we went and taught our homie Corey the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is on date for baptism so we are sort excited for him. Then we had a member dinner with this family out in the boonies but they fed us some good country food featuring shrimp cause shrimp isn't in the country. We the drove to Ottumwa for an exchange the drive was pretty fun plus I was able to drive with my diet cherry Dr. Pepper.
Friday: I went on a exchange with legend himself Elder Taylor. We had some fun we ate some donuts and fudge. It was great we had some powerful lessons that day. We taught a part member family and they were just awesome. We also went by a bible request and there was this dude straight tripping asked if we believed in Aliens. Elder Taylor was like I see why not and then the guy dashed inside it was pretty funny. We then went to a member dinner where a family fed us some pizza hut. It was pretty good. Then Elder Critchfield and I left to go to a lesson with someone who has a baptismal date with and her concern was polygamy and we were able to address that and it was cool. We pulled out the official declaration #1 in d and c. It was pretty powerful. She felt the spirit strong
Saturday: Man it was a great day it started with interviews with President Sturm. It was great getting to know him better. Then we drove to Nauvoo to meet up with Corey. We were able to go to the temple because we left pretty early. I couldn't help but smile because I hadn't done in and endowment session in over a year. I realized how much I missed being able to go to the temple more regularly. It was great to be there and be able to witness the miracles of Nauvoo and the miracles of the temple. We then went to a few sites and saw a few familiar missionaries from our mission it was great. Plus Corey loved the pageant. We helped clean up the pageant a little bit then drove back to Fairfield.
Sunday:Church and dinner. We did some other stuff but those weren't as notable.
I'll just end this by giving my witness of the restoration.that it did happen and how grateful I am for all the sacrifices of my own pioneer ancestors and their fellow pioneers. And for the sacrifice that they all endured. I am also super grateful for temples and the feeling the love of our Heavenly Father in those temples. I am so beyond grateful to have seen those two pageants that testify of gospel truth. I am also grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ that makes any thing possible. I say that in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
Love y'all
Elder Caylor Hunsaker
