Ambulance

Haha so I could not think of a good title so sorry, but to start off my email this week has been very crazy and wild. I will give a summary of the week. So on Tuesday we went to see that investigator who has all of those cars that I sent the pics of the cars a while back. That was good he was pretty receptive and he is starting to see how the Book of Mormon is another important scripture. On Wednesday we taught like 9 people within 4 lessons, which was great because we were pretty much teaching lessons all day so that was nice and then we went to play basketball with our wards elder quorums so we invited our investigator Adam who is a 24 year old guy who has been smoking since he was 9. He played like 20 minutes of basketball then could not breath so we ended up having to call an ambulance. Of course that happens the first time I get an investigator to a ward activity. So we were in the hospital waiting to hear about his condition till 10:30 so that was fun. Then Thursday and Friday were pretty much just wake up knock teach an occasional lesson and that was pretty much those two days. Saturday we got to go do some service and they wanted us to be in street clothes so you already know I wore my Jazz hoodie to celebrate the victory of the Thunder.#takenote We basically folded clothes and wrapped glass up to be put in a box. Sunday was alright we had 2 people who were supposed to come to church, but one was sick and then we later found out one was stuck in their car so that was fun. We then went and knocked pretty much all day, and then we found one person and that was cool because we knocked the whole street and no one answered except for her. So overall this week has been good and it has gone by pretty fast. I continue to learn so much out here.  I love you and miss you guys I hope you have a fantastic week.

Peace Out

Week 10 the Technology

Well as some of you know we got our smartphones on Wednesday which is cool! We are able to have full access to gospel library and family history it is really amazing. We will be Facebook missionaries come the 11th so if you guys have a Facebook account add me as a friend, and you can get my lit missionary insights. Also I am able to read emails daily so if you ever want to rant or just want to tell someone about your life feel free I love hearing from you all. Now to talk about my week this week has been crazy. Well I am completely blank this week so I will give you guys the run down of the amazing stuff that happened this week. So basically we did a bunch of tracting this week which was crazy. There was this lady named Tema when we knocked on her door she was like you and pointed at me and I was like oh no what did I do. She said" I saw your smile walking around town, I will listen to you guys because of that smile." So haha my smile got us an Investigator. In other news we got an investigator named Adam to church and he enjoyed it we hope to help him quit smoking and stuff so he can be baptized. I also spoke in church I was a little rusty because you know not speaking for two and a half months will do that to you. However, everyone liked my talk so I gave a pretty stellar talk. We also did some service at a Presbyterian church. The service was great and these old Presbyterians were nice old people that were grateful. One of the old men was like my son is the weather man at 4 am for ABC news in Salt Lake so that was cool. Today we were in Walmart and people were asking us were some stuff was. Like what the, we are not even wearing yellow.  Well this week has been lit I will send some pictures in a separate email through my smart phone. 

I love you all and miss you guys.

Love,

The Week of Death

The week of death

CH

Well to start out this week we emailed home and then had a normal Monday we had exchanges and Elder Harvey and I then got destroyed he got a really bad migraine, and then I got sick it was horrible because like you can not watch a movie all you have to do is sit there and vomit. Tuesday was alright I finally got better but my balance was off so I texted the mission nurse that was a mistake she made me go to a doctors office it was legit so weird, but my the balance thing in my ears was off but I got that fixed. Wednesday was are p-day this week so we went to Nauvoo and we played basketball all day and played some with the Quincy elders.  We then went to the temple the temple is fantastic it was so cool. You could just feel the sacrifice of all the pioneers in the temple. Thursday was transfers no one even moved in our zone other then Elder Fox its kind of sad that he got transferred because he is a homie. This week we have also been running at the WIU track so that is cool and it's good exercise. Thursday we knocked on doors all day and had a lesson. Friday was great we had a district meeting and I was able to see some NFL moves while we were at district lunch . Saturday everything became a mess. We found out one of our investigators is like a polygamist guy so that is very weird. Our whole teaching pool pretty much avoids us now so like we only have two solid people out of 31 we had earlier. Sunday was interesting the ward is very interesting they say some pretty crazy stuff. Today we are in Nauvoo  with just our zone. Also we get our phones this week so its about to get lit up in Macomb. The weather is so bad it is snowing like what the. I miss and love you guys so much.

Random Week

This week has been really weird. To start of the week last Monday (P day) we played basketball all day. A recent convert by the Name of Cody was a true homie and took us to Buffalo Wild Wings when the national championship game was on. I saw like the first ten minutes and I was pretty disjointed, but its all good because Nova won. Then while we were eating we had to take one of the other elders to the hospital. We waited for two hours and then left without him seeing a doctor but it was ok because the hospitals tvs had Full House on so it was lit. Then on Tuesday Elder Gardener and I went on exchanges. We knocked and really did not have success because people were not having it that day. There was a guy that we knocked on his door and he starts ranting how we are based on made up stuff, but he did say I wish I could be Mormon so I can have 6 wives but my wife wont let me and then  he shut the door on us so that was funny.  Then the week was pretty much knocking like usual.  Fast Sunday was rough you can not take naps. I have 3 shout outs I am so pumped for Brodie to go to the Philippines he will bless so many lives. Second Happy Birthday to my dope brother Houston I can not wait to see what you do through high school. Third Happy Birthday to my Grandmother.

This Week

So to start off my email, General Conference was lit it actually felt like a weekend so it was so good. There were definitely mind blowing things that were reveled. Well last Tuesday  my companion and I went on exchanges with the zone leaders Elder Fox and Elder Baulderston. Both of these guys are pretty cool! So we went to their area which is Burlington, Iowa it was a pretty big area. Elder Baulderston and I were comps for the day we talked to a lady who liked UFC so that was pretty cool we also knocked on a door that looked like a crime scene. Then we went back to  their apartment and went and got dinner with a nice family, then we watched Meet the Mormons and then went to bed. Wednesday we awoke and had to go to a new trainers/ trainee meeting it was pretty good it was basically use common sense. Then we went to the mall to get food and Zombie Burger, it was the worst burger joint I have gone to. Thursday we basically knocked and visited investigators. Then Friday we found out one of our investigators got thrown in jail so that was interesting. Then Saturday we had conference which was cool we just went to the church and it was just us four missionaries there. Then we went to the priesthood ward BBQ which was good, then we went to the Priesthood Conference session. Sunday we brought an investigator to watch General Conference it was really cool and we think he enjoyed it. There was also a member named Brother Miller there and when The Russian temple was announced I joked #baptizeputin and he was like no we need to baptize put so that was interesting. Today We bought groceries and got a haircut my haircut is so bad that I do not think I have to touch it for 2 months. Love you guys enjoy the pictures one is of them is me with Elder Fox, the others are my botched haircut and me and the cold weather.

Smartphones and dementia

Well to start of WE ARE GETTING SMARTPHONES we will no longer be in the year 2005! Haha this week has been pretty good. I will try to write better emails, but I'll start with the fun stuff that happened this week. We played volleyball with the ward on Tuesday I was trash and this man named Fred, who is in his mid thirties, was very disappointing in me it was actually hilarious the guy takes volleyball so seriously. Then on Wednesday we had interviews with the mission president and his wife, which were great! So that was pretty lit. Then we had exchanges later that day so I went with Elder Harvey and we knocked and found no one and then had dinner with a  member. We then went and played some basketball with the elders quorum because there are usually non members there. So that was fantastic. Then we woke up Thursday morning and went and did splits till about four . We had a very interesting day most of the people were college students in between classes so we got some come back appointments. We knocked on this dudes house and he was sitting by the door he said who is it, we said missionaries and then he said oh no one is home lol. We then went and started knocking on a new street and a lady invited us in and we were like aye this is awesome little did we know she had dementia. She asked us are names and where we were from we thought she was just an old lady that forgot until her son called us and thought we were manipulating her. So we got out of the house as fast as we could. Friday we went to an investigators house who lives an hour away. We went with a member who's friends with him. They are both mid 80's. The funny thing is the member that took us went 25 within city limits no matter the speed limit and then went 70 outside of the city. The man we visited is named Ivan, and has a prosthetic leg and lost a eye. This man has like 40 cars and a ton of guns it was great. He even had a Rolls Royce which I know my Grandpa Teryl would like. Saturday I had hot chocolate which sums up that day. Then yesterday we helped that same member that we went to visit Ivan with, and help him with his printer lol my companion tried to fix it while I saw five mins of the Kansas Duke game that was the worst five minutes of basketball I have ever seen. Like how do you miss so many open dunks and layups. Lets hope for a Loyalla Nova championship. We then went to dinner with a family in the ward that half of them are members, but they married non members so it was like 50 50. It was cool because there were little kids running around so it felt kinda like home with all the fun crazy cousins running around. Well I love you all enjoy my pics of the cars and of me. Shout out to Brodie I am so proud of you, and  cannot wait to here were you get called to. I would like to leave you guys with my testimony. This has been the most humbling experience of my life I have seen so much change in me. I have been able to accomplish so many things because of Lord. This has been the hardest experience of my life, but I am beyond grateful that I have the opportunity to invite people to come unto Christ. I am beyond grateful for the smartphones my mission will be receiving this will improve the work a lot . We will be able to reach so many that we might not have been able to before. The messages on gospel library are so good. I love you all I think and pray for y'all every day in the name of Jesus Christ amen​.

I am ALIVE!

This week has went by so fast I am so grateful That I am finally getting adjusted to the mission life. I will say it has been the hardest thing in my life leaving friends and family and sports behind haha. This past week has been tough because March Madness is going on and I get updates like every few days luckily the Macomb North elders get daily updates from  the members they live with so they keep me updated. So last Tuesday was a pretty usual day we pretty much did the usual tracting approach which was kinda bad. But Wednesday we got trained on family history, which was lit and then we got to go to a pizza place which was alright, but sports center was on and I was able to see some of the NFL moves such as my home boy Kirk Cousins going to the Vikings like wow but hope he does good still and then like Case Kennum. Pretty much Thursday we found some more people and that was good. Then on Friday we drove down to Iowa City for a mission conference with a 70's named Elder Costa It was good he asked me where I was from and I said Logan and he said oh that is a good place. So basically he gave us good training, but before he came he went to a missionaries departments and then took a picture of a area book because we are the only mission in the world that uses area books lol. I feel ancient and then some dude in the ward was like show me your phone and he was like whoa we had those phones ten years ago in the field. So I feel like I am in 2008. Haha, but it was good he talked about finding, teaching, and baptizing. We then went to the mall, which was fun in Iowa City and got food. Elder Harvey from the Macomb North area was driving us, and about killed us by falling asleep at the wheel but, we survived so its all good. Saturday we went to a baptism in my companions old area, which was cool. We then drove there and back with a member it was awesome. Then that night we went to one of the people that said come back later and his wife had left him like 2 hours before we came so we were able to give him hope of the gospel. Then Sunday it was basically we had four people that were supposed to come to church but they didn't we also visited the poor guy that got left by his wife. Then we went and ate dinner with the family of the bishop of the Macomb Ward. It was great. reminded me of my family feeding the missionaries. Love you all enjoy the pictures.

Love,

Elder Hunsaker
