A Good Week with Home Visiting & Thanksgiving Dinner

AHHHH man, Austyn looks so great in front of the temple ! 
Updates this week. So for Christmas, you will have to send the package to my house. 
I am going back to Oxnard to baptize Kenna and Josh on Saturday as well :) 

So Monday was cool. I got 2 new fire patches and am getting like 3 today I think, so that is cool. We went on a cool hike today and low and behold, I forgot my camera and the sun was getting over the ocean. Oh so beautiful, but you will have to picture it in your mind. It was great though. We had dinner with our Stake President because he is in our ward again and he remembers me from the last time I was in the stake, so that was cool. 

Tuesday consisted of Panda Express, Mormon.org and a cool visit to a less active lady who is in a home because she has so many illnesses. She is about 46 and she needed a visit so we saw her and that was cool. We also saw Sister Lark and apparently she emails you (yes, she does lol !). We gave her son a blessing and had some cake with them this week, so that was cool. 

Wednesday was good. We visited our ward leader and it was fun talking to him. He has a bearded dragon, so that made me miss Blue (Elder Routledge's Blue Tongued Skink (type of lizard)), so give her kisses for me (yuck!). We also had our bible study and that was good. After we had a nice dinner with Sister Cox and her two kids and then visited with our RS Prez (Relief Society President) and got some names to see. 

Thanksgiving Dinner

 Thursday was great. We visited a lot of ladies that were in homes, so we could make them feel loved today. And guess what ???!!! I don't know if you remember Sister Tanaka from my first area, she was old and would always give us RC Cola, anyways, she is nin our area now, so we saw her so that was cool. We also went to Oxnard for a nice turkey dinner with one of the Senior Missionary Couples, The Floyds. That was, oh so good. 

Friday was good. We had an amazing zone meeting and man, that had some great things, our mission being so young is held at just such a high standard. WE had a really great zone goal put in place, and man, it was cool. We also saw a few other really cool less actives today. It was just a good day. 

Saturday was sweet and bad. First we had to get our car checked out because we got a notice that our airbags might be screwy but there were fine and that wasted like an hour of our morning. After we went to the Terrie's for Thanksgiving dinner and you know food and me love each other, so that cheered me right up. We had some great conversations, oh it was fun. 
That night we went and saw Lauren, she served in Canada, but that was cut short as my comp got sick. He's really shy so when he gets nervous, he gets sick and I felt bad for him. But we took him home and he started to feel better. 

Sunday we had a really nice sacrament meeting and church was just good. After church we went back to Lauren's to finish our lesson and my comp was feeling better and we had a great lesson. She is really cool, man we played Janga as part of our lesson and it was fun. She might be gong to school in Idaho, that is not far from me ;-)

Well Mom, Dad, Shell (smile), and Scotty. I love you 4 and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks (skype call on Christmas Day !!). I love you all. Tell them family I say hello and I love them and tell Momma, Trish, Niss and Brea sorry for not writing more but I will try hahaha.

Love Elder Routledge
