I took note of the phrase “seek for entertainment,” which shows up frequently in my grandfather’s journal for the same mission and time period. It apparently meant getting food and lodging for these missionaries traveling without purse or scrip.

I also noticed one apparent incident of the “dusting of the feet” in the February 18th entry.

It’s the routine and the rhythm and ordinariness of it (given that serving a mission, especially without purse or script, is extraordinary in itself) that makes it feel so genuine and honest to me.

I know they are doing just common things, but it is very interesting to me.
