| Birthday Love from his District |
Tuesday was really cool. I was on another exchange with Elder Harper (exchange #4) and we had a great day. We had an awesome lesson with J., a girl we just started to teach. We had a really great lesson with Sister E, the girl that just started coming back to church. We also had a great dinner with this freakin' awesome older man and ended off with my FRIEND, Anthony.

| Gifts from Anthony |
Wednesday we had service at the Food Bank and that was real normal. We had a nice dinner with Cashmore's and tonight was cool. We taught the youth, who are getting ready for their missions, the restoration and had them practice to get them excited about going out.
The best day ever!!! We saw Anthony again and did some service for him. We had to chase his crazy dog, Chewy (named after Chewbocca from Star Wars), down the street and instead of coming to Anthony, his master, he came to Elder Levis (my companion) haha!! It was kinda funny.
After the service he bought us Panda Express so that was pretty great. We also had a great lesson with Brother Sawyer. He is going to be baptized April 2 and then we had another lesson with J and it turns out that she read the first 3 chapters of the Book of Mormon and loved it! She has been praying and is going to be baptized on April 16th, all after only the second lesson!! Oh, Mom, she is so prepared! I feel like she is the reason I am here in Santa Maria (This just makes my heart melt. I hope our missionary, David, knows that's how we felt about him). Friday we had a really good zone meeting. The Church has come out with another new video and we want to share it with everyone. It is called, https://www.mormon.org/easter Please check it out, it is really good.
We also had a ward auction and I got 2 survival bracelets for cheap, cheap. Like 5 bucks so that was cool. Some really cool stuff was being sold to raise money for Scouts. Oh, you better be glad they said no credit cards because if they did, you would have had a $2000.00 debt hahaha. Just kidding. Kinda.
Saturday was really cool. We saw a lot of people and we kept busy all day. Tonight (last Saturday evening) we were driving and I was like, "Who do I see?" and I had no idea but I got a feeling to go see Anthony. He lives across town so I ignored it. Well round 2, I get the feeling again, but I said, "No, he is too far". Round 3, another feeling, so I think, "Okay, I'll go see him". And it's not that I didn't want to see him, we were just trying to save car miles. Anyway, we go see him and it turns out that he was having a hard week, just some little things bothering him, and so it was very cool to get the prompting when he needed help. I love how revelation works, it is just so perfect.

| Peterson Family |
Sunday, Sister Peterson (we just LOVE Sister Peterson!) her son came home from his mission and I was able to hear him talk, and it was just so cool. I am just so blessed to be a member of this Church. I am so grateful to be a missionary, it is such a blessing. Prayer played a big part in this week and we saw so much success from it. Time and time again I keep getting witnesses of this true church and I know this is true and righteous work. I have been blessed with an amazing family who supports me so much, so thank you. I love you all so much.
Shel, I love your pictures. Scott, I loved your post. Thank you, it really touched me, and Mom and Dad, you're the best, but I encourage you both, mom and dad, to go get yourself endowed in the Temple. Mom, you are already, but dad, before I come home.
Have a great week
Love,
Elder Routledge
