Crazy week, funny beards and an awesome note

Updates. It has been crazy because of lots of reasons, but a few things. I can grow a full beard in like 3 days, so that's cool. I shave everyday though. 

3 Day Beard ? 

How great is dad doing ! Reading the Book of Mormon every day and challenging me. Man, I can not wait for us to get sealed, we're a perfect family :)

So Monday sucked lots. We had to run around a ton and do a lot of stuff, like pay off a ticket we got 2 weeks ago again. Stupid Oxnard tickets. They street sweep 1 street a week and if you're in the way, ticket. It was a crazy Monday but we had a nice, healthy dinner at the Edwards' and got to play with some bunnies after, so it was okay after all. 

Tuesday was nuts. We helped this lady move and I am a Star Wars freak now. I found a toy light saber and took it home because she said I could. We had interviews with President Felix and that was nice. We just chatted about the mission and stuff and then we went and met with this kid named, Tyler this week. He is a member but we helped him with a school project which turned into us laughing a ton and poking holes in stuff. 

Wednesday was cool. We went and built Christmas trees out of cans at the Food Share warehouse and that was pretty fun. We also stopped by this older lady's house. Her name is Nora and she's ill, so we just checked in our her and then after we went back to Tyler's to help some more.

Thursday I was on an exchange with Elder Goad, he goes home in 2 weeks. That was a fun day as we went and taught a guy named Joey with his boss who is a member. That was a very good spiritual lesson. We also went to Wrebbel's (he's the Philippine guy) and that was really great to see him. He is a very good man and I just saw him as a waste of time until this week when he opened up and I was truly humbled by his love for us coming over. We also went to the Throckmorten's and of course the gun guy...we saw lots of guns. He showed us his secret gun safe with at least 40 weapons inside. HE IS A COOL MAN. 

Friday was good. We had a really powerful district meeting. It was a good meeting and after we went and did some service building a shed, so that was most of the day. 

Saturday was Halloween, so we had Josh and Kenna's baptism interview. Kenna passed but Josh did not so we moved it back a week. The rest of the day was trying to meet with people and then we had to be in by 6 and just chilled for the rest of the night.

Sunday was horrible but great. We found out that the Elder that failed Josh in the interview should have passed him, but because he failed, his mom is just furious with us for not allowing him to be baptized. Her and the dad got into a massive fight over it and Josh is super sad and discouraged and Kenna pretty much hates us now, so this has been a tough day, but I fasted hard for them and we did see a slight change. They still both want to meet us, but we have had no contact with the mom yet, but we are trying to build up the relationship again. 
It was pretty crazy to say the least. I was a little ticked off with the Elder but I know that I need to not be. I know the Lord will help us through it. 

Other than this road block, it has been a pretty great week. 
Mom, Dad, Shel, Scott and family. I love you all. I am doing very well here. 
Things are busy with both wards but very good. 
Talk to you all next week.
