The Promise Land

Monday: We had a quad blitz in Havvana, Illinois it was super lit we had such a good time we visited some people it was super cool. We had a good time and then in had to leave the room when we were doing family history with their branch cause I got exposed to walnuts but i just walked away so i was fine. Then I went and got some subway haha.

Tuesday: We getting up and getting transfer calls I got sent 4 hours a cross the mission to go to Ankeny, Iowa. Then we found out Galesburg got rested so it's basically closed for a transfer, which is sad but my trainee got sent to Aimes, Iowa.  Then we went and said bye to our person being taught Butch and he gave us his conversion story, which was super awesome and then said bye to the Butlers and their sons where so sad to see us go it was pretty cool to see the influence we left on those little kids.

Wednesday: We had super pday and just relaxed all  day we also played football two hand touch of course and it was super fun I haven't had such a awesome workout in forever. Then we went IHop and let me tell you it is not worth it anymore everything is so expensive it is just average food. As we are leaving  i found out there was a Penn Station in Peoria and I almost went last minute but didn't. We then went and said bye to some members everyone was super sad that the missionaries where taken out.  It was super bitter sweet cause I had been there so long but we started having consistent lessons with people when we left.

Thursday: Transfer day was super fun i drove four hours and it was long It was super sad to see my trainee go but I know he will do super good. I am really excited for him . I then got a linkage picture with my trainer and it was lit. Then I met my zone and there are two sisters from cache valley but from sky view so LOL I am like the only Ridgeline in a full Skyview Cache Valley mission haha.

Friday - Sunday 

Basically are lit we have found 3 people and we had some lessons for days and it was pretty cool. There are some members who like Utah state so I have been having s lit time in Ankeny it is so cool. Then on Sunday the sisters had a baptism and we went and taught the restoration and I was able to participate in the confirmation it was pretty cool 

Overall I have a fat crush on this area and my companion is super lit.

10 Months Later

Well this Thursday I get transferred and I think I am going to Iowa. I think I am going to Manchester Iowa but I could be completely wrong so don't take me up on that yet. I will know tomorrow morning. 

Monday: we went and played some ball I am so bad I got booted. So I haven't really played much this transfer, but I'll just get thrown to a zone where my skill isn't that bad. Haha I was talking to an elder trying to play pro ball and he told me my basketball skill was alright so maybe I improved a little bit cause I used to be trash. Well then we went back and had dinner it was neat. 

Tuesday: We had a triple blitz in Canton and I went with Elder Stokes and we got lost we found a new person though who was super yoked. Man Elder Stokes is such a good guy he is new to the mission field only been out a month but he is way funny and we are just chilling doing fun stuff while working all day.

Wednesday-Thursday 

We pretty much knocked and had district council which was our last one of the transfer.

Friday- weekly planned and knocked doors and had dinner with a super awesome family.

Saturday: we had super dope lesson with one of our people who is a teenager and he is super down.we also found two more people we had lunch at b ws and saw a tiny bit of the USU game

Sunday we taught chase and it was great he is progressing way fast which is good but we will have to get consent from his parents to baptize him.

This week was kind of bland so sorry for the boring email

Car Breaks and Zone Conference

This week started out like a normal p day. So we were going to the mall and went to ross. Then we went to panda express but my companion Elder Anderson left something in our car so we went over and inspected it and basically it was dead so we were like we ain't gonna lose our p day cause of some car problems so we just road around with the Havvanna Elders. We then went to Bass Pro Shop and then we went to Morton to play ball with everyone while the stake center was being used in Peoria we had to go to Morton. So then a few Elders got in the car and went and got some ice cream we then went to Walmart where I got an ugly Christmas sweater for zone conference. We then drove back to the mall and we tried to jump it but it failed 

Tuesday: I went and did some service with Elder Smith. It was kind of weak it felt like you were more of an employee then a volunteer. But it was alright. We then drove back to Peoria to try to jump the car again but no luck so we got it towed and then had to wait another day 

Wednesday: we drove to Peoria and picked up the car in the middle of the afternoon so our day was pretty toast then we had dinner with a family 

Thursday:  It was zone conference it was pretty awesome seeing everyone that I hadn't seen in a while and stuff so that was cool. We then had B Dubs for zone dinner in Galesburg due to a new rule that we have to eat dinner in our zone. So we did that. Then Havana Elders stayed the night because their area was far away and black ice was everywhere.

Friday: We pretty much did all of our studies and went out and did some work, and some cleaning cause our apartment would be inspected on Saturday then had dinner.

Saturday: We got our apartment inspected and then I had a really bad head ache so we relaxed and then did all of our studies.

Sunday: We had church then we had a lunch with a member, usually we never get lunch with members so it was cool. Then we went out studied and then got 3 hours of knocking done it was pretty sweet. We found two really solid people. Their apartments was by a movie theater so that was cool because I have no idea when the last time I saw one. Then we had dinner.

Love,

Snownados

So last Monday we were stranded in galesburg and played some ball with the Kewanne elders and Walmart was closed so that was different. But it was pretty ridiculous Utah knows how to handle snow galesburg was like completely shut down so that was crazy. Then the ice was pretty bad so we ended up going to b dubs and getting the tender mercies of Monday night football.

Tuesday: we went and did some return appointments so that was good and we ended up setting other return appointments.

Wednesday: we had exchanges with the zone leaders in Peoria and I went with my old companion elder glenn it was pretty awesome we had some good times just like we used to. It was pretty fun we found some people and it was pretty cool. A ton of people asked for money so that was interesting but we found a ton of people and then went to Buffalo Wild wings and saw the  Jazz beat the nets so that was cool.

Thursday:  we had interviews with President and Sister Badger and it was pretty cool. It's always nice talking to them and seeing other missionaries it was pretty fun. We then got back and we had to watch some videos about light the world and area book so that took up most of our night.

Friday: We worked our tails off and went by a lot of people and helped one of the people we are teaching realize Joseph Smith doesn't take away from Christ he just helped restore his gospel and doesn't take away from him. We also went to b dubs to see some again and we saw some of the jazz game  so that was cool.

Saturday: we were out working when a mad storm hit us we went inside and then after it left we went back out just to be told we had to stay inside all around our zone got hit by nados good thing no one was injured except a few wineries and stuff but that ain't a lose haha 

Sunday: church and we helped host a thing called festival of the nativities in Peoria it was sick and we ended up staying the night in Peoria. Shout out to usu for going to a bowl haha. Their intern head coach is a pretty cool dude who I home taught haha go Aggies.

Monday: We woke up went around the mall and bass pro shops and we are bowling right now it's pretty sick. We had lunch at panda and I saw the legend bobby Wagner make a pic six haha. This week has been sick.

Love you all,

Elder Caylor Hunsaker 

Pics should consist of us doing work in the snow and us running around Peoria with elder Mather and elder Stokes and of course my companion Elder Anderson  (Mom added the picture of him by the Christmas Tree at Bass Pro Shop)

Almost Broken Ankles and Thanksgiving

Well to start out this week on Monday we went down to Canton and played some football with two sets of elders it was pretty fun.

Tuesday: We went and knocked and stuff so that was good nothing really came from it but we kept on grinding throughout the week.

Wednesday: We went to district council haha. Then the mans himself Elder Critchfield injured his ankle and his comp couldn't drive so we went on emergency exchanges haha so I drove him to the hospital that was lit and saw some of the Duke and Gonzaga game. He didn't break it so he just sprained it so we chilled and played Mario kart monopoly.  It was pretty awesome.

Thursday: it was Thanksgiving so the other pair went to Galesburg and ate at the two appointments and Elder Critchfiled and I stayed in Kewanne and then came over to Galesburg after the dinner appointment. It was good we ate some food and then went to Walmart in Galesburg to try to find him some wrap for his ankle we completely blanked that it was Black Friday and we were in there and saw a sign we both laughed and then looked around for the stuff but couldn't find it.

Friday: we had a quad blitz and they all came early so we stopped by some stores and then ate lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings and then we went and did some missionary work. Elder Burke and I found some people and so did a few other people. It was pretty sick. We played board games at night it was fun.

Saturday: we finished  exchanges and then went and knocked a whole apartment complex we found so many people with potential I hope that we can get some of them baptized. It was super cool all the effort we have been putting in was seen by the lord and he helped us find these people.

Sunday: we went to church and found a new person at church it was pretty sick he is way solid so he should get baptized. We also got snowed in last night because the snow was pretty bad.

Monday: We still snowed in haha 

I'll leave y'all with a thought you know if you guys have a friend's who are not of the faith invite them to church you never know what is going to happen because rarely will they say no disrespectfully. I have seen so many people come to church some of em come again and again some of them don't but they always will have that seed planted.

The Plague

Well this week started out last Monday we played some ball and went back and had some dinner with an awesome family so that was pretty cool.

Tuesday: Elder Anderson felt a little sick but we went out and had an exchange with Elder Harvey and Elder Smith.  It was pretty cool Elder Harvey and I went to all these little small towns and accidentally knocked into some members those are the worst cause there are some active members and then some who think they are active but they just go to church on Easter and Christmas.  We then had dinner with a member who is the branch president of another group of elders and then we all stayed the night in Canton and it was fun we played Mario Kart Monopoly and then went and got some beverages and chilled for the rest of the night. 

Wednesday: I went to Iowa City with Elder Harvey for a doctor's appointment it was like 15 minutes long and in total we drove like 4 hours it was pretty crazy but we did get gas at the worlds largest truck stop we didn't go in cause we didn't have time to actually go in.  Then we had district council and that was pretty much the end of our day cause Elder Anderson was dead.

Thursday-Friday: Elder Anderson was dead so we pretty much just stayed in after talking to the mission nurse. Also it snowed it was super cold and not a lot of people know how to slow down.lol

Saturday: We got up and we found some solid people that we will go by this next week it was pretty awesome. It was a pretty great day it was cold but we were hyped so it didn't really matter how cold we were.

Sunday: Well I blessed the sacrament the first time in 9 months so that was pretty crazy. The last time I did that was in the MTc. And elder Anderson gave an awesome talk in church. We found some more people after church it was pretty great. We also had a dinner appointment with a family and they found out elder Anderson watched some Barbie movies (that's justified cause he has a little sister) But this is where it gets funny he actually likes them so the members were roasting him about it luckily we are pretty tight with that family so we both thought it was funny.

The only pictures I took this week was me in my dope redskins shirt!( they will still win even though my QB Alex Smith is injured)

It's Snowing Unicorns

Well this week it has been snowing which is super weird because when I left for the MTC it was snowing so that's way funny that it has been 9 months. 

Monday: we went on a quad blitz in Peoria it was pretty lit Elder Shields and I went to the most ghetto part of Peoria  and it was awesome we found a ton of people and did some laundry for free at our zone leaders apartment. Then we went to the gym that our zone leaders have and Elder Shields fell so I laughed but he recovered last minute and then I fell and got the air knocked out of me it killed me it was so painful plus I got so muddy so haha.

Tuesday: it was transfer calls but Elder Anderson and I are staying together so I am super excited about that. We went to B Dubs and had a great time and got updated with the zone changes and the sports world which is always good.  We then came back and we knocked.

Wednesday: We went down to Peoria for p day and we played some basketball and I played the best ball of my mission, but my team ended up losing I was so mad. 

Thursday: it was transfers so we woke up and did studies then we got a call that some of our district was driving through Galesburg so we had lunch with them it's a brand new missionary Elder Stokes and his companion Elder Mather they are both awesome guys my trainee picked like the most expensive Mexican restaurant to eat at. And then we went to Walmart with them cause they don't have Walmart. We then found some people.

Friday: we had district council and it was super busy and then went to Kewanne for exchanges to help Kewanne out. Elder Mather and I knocked a lot, but then a lot of people were just saying no but Elder Mather and I found this guy who was saying the f bomb about how cold it was. We then played some Risk and I lost. 

Saturday: we ended up coming home and did studies that was pretty much it.

Sunday: we did church and ended up studying then going to a dinner lol.

Monday: I got my haircut from a long lost less active who I don't think wants to be found and now we are playing ball. But I got Fire House Subs for lunch and apparently there is a dill pickle shortage oh no.
