Iowa+Country roads+Utah kid+GPS=getting lost.

Monday: We had a zone p day! We went to a bowling alley in middle of nowhere in Washington Iowa. The bowling alley informed us we needed to have a party reservation. #weak but we looked them up on maps and it said they had the best bar tender in town. So I guess that bowling alley isn't completely useless for non members but for word of wisdom abiding members its trash. We then went to Walmart the mall of half of these Iowa towns and went and bought some wack little games. I didn't though. Then we went to the church everyone rolled up and we basically relaxed there. I ran a few laps around the church and it felt pretty good to run. It's been a hot minute since I have ran but i was breaking a sweat it was great. That was pretty much Monday.

Tuesday: We started the day by doing some service at the library. It's super fun we sort DVDs into super damaged damaged or could use some cleaning IRS pretty cool but honestly you see to many good movies you miss. But let me tell in all of my areas the librarians  love the missionaries so that has been pretty cool . Seeing how the Lord has been preparing all of these librarians is neat. Then we had a lesson with our most solid person Corri and taught him the word of wisdom and the law of chastity.  It was great he accepted those two commitments and it is just such a blessing to see him change. He is a great guy. We then had a lesson with Mary and it was a good lesson she is putting together that we have the complete gospel which is going great. 

Wednesday: We went and did some missionary work. Then went to a member who is chiropractor.  He helped my companion and then asked if there was anything bothering me. I just said my hip because a few transfers ago my bed was sunkin in on my hip and it would feel weird. But he adjusted my hip and I mean I never realized how much I enjoy having my hip back to normal. Then it was click my day which is basically how we count up the months we have been out. It was my 18th month click day so that is pretty exciting.  We celebrated by getting Mexican food. Well there were two Mexican places in town and we ended up going to one where no one spoke English the food was good but two missionaries that didn't know to speak Spanish went so far. We didn't know where to pay so we sat there for 30 minutes trying to figure out how to pay. We finally sent it to the counter and payed there. Moral of the story for Elder Critchfield and I if we ever want authentic Mexican food bring Elder Taylor with us who speaks Spanish.

Thursday:: We had district council which was good. We then had a exchange with our zone leaders. Elder Burke and I went to this place called Boneparte, Iowa for a Bible referral. We dropped off the Bible and went by some people but no body answered.  So we punched it in the GPS and it took us on this gravel road by the Des Moines River. There was a sign that said dead end  we didn't believe it because we put our faith in the GPS. As we were driving the GPS said turn left. We looked up and there was a bridge above us......  at this point there was no way we could turn around so we kept going Intell we turned around. Overall we were lost for like 30 minutes but it was a good time. We then drove to a town called Keosaqua (probably butchered the spelling). To answer your question that I know you all have is no we did not get lost this time. We stopped by a part member family where the husband is not a member and he has been sick lately so we taught about Samuel the Lamonite and then really just talked to them and enjoyed their company. As I said the closing prayer he got very teary eyed. We then got into the car and I look at Elder Burke and said that was one of the most inspired stop by's I have done on my mission and he looked at me and said same. We then went to some less actives and they were happy to see us and then offered us later to go have some hamburgers with them. That day was full of blessings.

Friday: We finished the exchange but before we did. Elder Burke and I got yelled at by some crazy lady. O boy was she mad. I just laugh every time people yell at us because 99% of time its just because of our presence. 

Saturday: pretty much nothing happened other then we went by some people who weren't down. We then cooked dinner and it was a pretty great dinner. I also picked up saints again I had only read till chapter 10 so I am going to try to read that before i go home.

Sunday: Church was good we went by some people and planned. We also had dinner with a member family so that was pretty fun. Their oldest son just put in his mission papers and it was pretty cool because I can remember the missionaries back home talking to me before I left.

Love y'all
