So on Monday, we went to Ames to hang with the other missionaries in the area, and we played a lot 'fun' little games :) Namely, signs and hotseat.
On Tuesday, we went about doing missionary work, but I hadn't felt all too well for the last couple days, and so the mission nurse sent us to the urgent care in Ames. We got there annnddd.... I found out that I had bronchitis! So, I was sentenced to a couple days sitting in the apartment making friendship bracelets.
However, by Wednesday evening I was sooo antsy and I couldn't stay inside another second, so I talked my lovely companions into going knocking (we went on exchanges with the Ames sisters so that they could go out, and I stayed in with another sister that wasn't feeling too good) So, we went knocking in Randall, where we found an ICE CREAM FIRE TRUCK!!! It looks like an ice cream truck, but it is the fire department... Iowa is weird like that. The other day we saw a school bus that was painted red, and it said 'Story City Volunteer Fire Committee' Makes me laugh.
On Thursday we went on the long drive to the land of the Fort Dodge Zone Leaders, where we got to see our lovely Mission President and wife
(Jk, this isn't what they were wearing, I just thought it was funny)
After our interviews with them, and lunch with the zone, we headed back to our area... Where we realized that a huge storm that had passed through Story City had taken our power out, so we had to find those switch things (I know technical terms haha!) and turn it back on, which was a crazy adventure!
Then on Friday we tried to go out knocking and... The mission nurse found out that I had broken my sentencing.... and sent us back to bed. Which is good because turns out you can't get better if you are outside in the sun :/
Saturday we stayed in except to go to a couple of appointments, including to see Tonya! She is awesome. We helped her a little because they are moving to a house outside of town, but still in our area, so we will still be teaching her. And also to see Erick! He was not able to come to church this week, but he was super impressed with our ability to say 'amigo' and 'iglesia' that he said we could come back anytime :)
