Lots of Service...and more food

 Monday morning we went on a hike with Collin for morning workouts and that was very cool to see the sun come up in Cali with our solid dude. We are building a very strong friendship with him, he is very cool. He has come to church every Sunday since we met with him. Oh, mom, if you could only meet him. He is just soo great and soo solid. He paid a tithe this week and we told him he didn't have to until he was baptized and he was like, "no, I want to pay it, how do I pay it?", it was soo dang cool.  For sports we could not think of what to do so we went and hung out at the mall and went to some of the stores there. 

Elder Comin & Elder Routledge 

Tuesday was pretty cool. We started the day off with an exchange with Elder Klingler. I got to drive so that was sweet. We did service at the dog shelter this morning and that was pretty fun. We helped move some boxes around. That was pretty fun, or as fun as it could be. After we went to the house of a guy in our ward to help him fix his cords so he would not lose his progress while playing his computer games. Now this man is 55 (or older) and not married and has a bigger collection of Star Wars characters than a 55 should have, but he is lonely so we wanted to go help. He is a really nice guy and he has a lot of guns, but that puts him high on my cool list hahaha. 
Tonight we had dinner with the Moffets. They are cool. They are the family that brought me chips from Canada a month or so ago. I always love talking to Sister Moffet. We ended the day with our Book of Mormon class. 

Wednesday was pretty cool as we had some service with Cheryl. She is the one who always gives us cookies. Sadly we were meeting her with this week to see if she is interested and if not, then we have to stop meeting with her. Going to do service is great, but it comes back to our purpose and that is to help others come unto Christ and she has shown little desire to move forward. 
We had interviews today with President Felix in our apartment and that was pretty cool. He was pretty proud of the work we were doing and talked to us about some things and told us to keep up the good work. It was just a cool chance to talk to him. 
We also got to have lunch with Elder Comin's convert from another area so that was cool to see him still in contact with his converts. 

Thursday was very cool. We had a pretty cool district meeting, where we went into the chapel and read our blessings so that was cool. It was just a powerful district meeting. 
Tonight we started a member sports night in our ward with a few other wards to get the missionary member ball rolling. We had 6 missionaries show up and no members so..well hope to have more this next week. 

Friday we did some service up at the ranch and I hunted rattlesnakes again and no luck, so the guy we do service for said he will help me and we will go hunt them together because he actually knows where to find them, so yea, I'll have a cool snake head hopefully by next Monday. 
After we did our weekly planning. 

Emergency Prep Table Set Up 

Saturday was good. We cleaned the church this morning, had a good buffet and then went to an Emergency Prep thing in the park. We set up a table to try to talk to people and that was cool. We did not see a lot of success from it, but we talked to lots of people. 

Sunday was a good testimony meeting and we had dinner with the Rogers'. We had bbq chicken. 

Well mom...sooo sorry I had to gyp you on the email. I love you and say hi to all the family for me. Muah :)

Love, Elder Routledge
