Hello from Missouri!!

So this past week we were on exchanges and I went out with Elder Captain (yes his name is pronounced just as it seems,) And he took me to a magical place known to the locals as Ava Drug. Ava drug is a retro dinner with even more retro prices, as you can see the place defiantly looks like an old coke-cola shop. We went there with a member who had never been there before and apparently he is a huge coke paraphernalia fan. He was telling us about some of the pieces they had and he said most of the items were real and he had only seem them in magazines. There was an original calendar on the wall that is worth 1,000 bucks he said. But that is not what makes this place so cool, it is the prices. In the first picture we have what i got for lunch. I got 3 reasonable sized scoops of ice cream and a large glass of Dr. Pepper, the cost of this meal.......... 25 cents. Each scoop of ice cream there is 5 cents and the glass of soda is 10 cents. This place is of the gods. Ava Drug is so popular that the food network has come there on multiple occasions to do bits on it. The new york times did an article on it, and the best part of it is The Amish go there all the time. So this place is a total oxymoron, its great. Elder captain and Elder Snow, the people serving in that area, go there every day to get their ice cream and soda and I am super jealous.

Other than that there is not that much excitement going on here, we had conference and that was fun but 10 hours is a lot. Sorry for not writing on Monday but Elder Lybbert is at Zone Leader Conference and has left me with Elder Robinson and Elder Gardner till about 6 tonight. Well sorry for the lame week but Ava drug is apparently the highlight of my week.
