This week me and Hermana Moses have been doing a lot of knocking. We have 2 investigators currently and we need teach more people so we have knocked everywhere! We have run out of streets to knock so what do we do? We knock them again! Oh my lanta let me tell you about yards in Iowa. They are soooo overdecorated! Its like a Home and Gardens magazine just threw up all over Iowa! The more lawn decorations the better! And don't even get me started on the excessive use of wind chimes! You only need one! But hey, there is no such thing as a boring lawn here!
Oooh now I'll talk about the cats! "Everyone and their cat" is not an expression here. It is truth. Hermana Moses says that everyone is Iowa is either Catholic or Cat-holics! So true! And i have made it my mission to be-friend every cat that we meet! So far it has been a success, the only cat that still wont be friends with me is our investigator Sue's cat Nigel. He is pure evil but we shall be snuggle buddies before long. My favorite cat that i have met, in case you were wondering, is Angel. I super sweet Main Coon. Which basically means huge, fluffy, and cuddly! So many cats!!! Iowa is the home of the Crazy Cat Lady and i love it!
Oh and wanna hear about the most awkward moment ever?! I'll tell you. So sometimes we go out of our apartment the back way which leads to a sketchy stairway into an alley. So there is usually no one there. One morning i was feeling particularly princess-y and decided to sing as i burst through the door and down the stairs. I chose to sing Good Morning Baltimore but substituting Washington. Well i burst out the door and sang at the top of my lungs GOOD MORNING.......and i hear a Good Morning! back. There was i man in the alley. He was very amused and i was happy to entertain him that morning. It was very awkward but as missionaries we are told to Embrace the Awkward! So i do!
Ok now for my newest segment in my emails: GUESS WHAT MOSES DID THIS WEEK? Because She does so many crazy things that it deserves to be mentioned. Lets start with Zombie Pens. She took a pen that was dead and customized her own ink using highlighter and pen ink and made a color never before seen before! She calls it zombie blood. She also did companionship inventory as Elder Sidious (Star Wars), and she made popcorn with Pam. Because Hna. Moses is a popcorn snob and wont let me buy microwave popcorn cause she has three different kinds of amish popcorn that she makes. Anyway i wanted popcorn the other night and we were out of oil. Well any normal person would just melt butter and use that but that is way to simple for Hna. Moses. Instead she uses Pam the cooking spray and makes popcorn. It was still delicious so success!
We have come up with the Iowa Circle of Life. Here it is. When we die, we become the corn, and the squirrels eat the corn, and we eat the squirrels. So you see, we are all connected in the great circle of Iowa. Speaking of Iowa, have you ever wondered what the view is like driving down the road? Lemme tell you, it goes a little like this: Corn Corn Corn Corn Corn Soy beans Soy beans Soy beans tractor Corn Corn Corn tractor Corn Corn Corn Soy beans Corn Squirrel! Corn Corn Soy beans Tractor Corn Corn Squirrel Corn corn bush Corn Soy beans Tree Corn Squirrel Corn corn corn Tractor Corn. With little towns somewhere in the mix. IOWA
Ok I think i have rambled on long enough so were gonna call this good. I hope you got some kind of amusement out of this and if not, you need to lighten up. Anywho, LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!!!! Until next time...xoxoxo Sister Rice
