No photos...but a visit from Elder Hamula of the 70

First off...you like guns now? (Just for the record..I do NOT like guns now lol) What the heck with you and Shel with all these guns?? And you went to ELDER BRONSON'S without me :( 
I want to go see his family. Sounds like you had a great weekend. 
Well the only update I have for you is the USA wants me to join the military haha. I got served with these forms that qualifies me for the military but I think the office is taking care of that hahaha.

Monday was so great. We had a busy crazy week, as you did as well, so lucky. You got to see my comp's family and play with guns. I just can't get over that. 
you got to see Dave and Chels, my boy Elder Pincock and the Bronson's uuggghh. Oh and Tate !! 
Well, today we did beach volleyball and I lost my camera for a few days so I have like, no pictures. I found it, but yea, it was a good day. 

Tuesday was pretty cool. I went and got a knee brace because my knee is really sore and has not been 100% for a few months, but my Mission President assures me it's nothing, so it's probs not. He was a PT before his mission. 
We also did more family history and had lunch with Elder Gregory because he is back in the zone, so it's cool to see him. This afternoon we had interviews with the MP and that was real cool. Our mission leaders are so great!!! We also tried to catch lizards, haha. You heard all about though. 

Catching lizards

Wednesday we got a text from one of our investigators saying she was no longer interested but we were not giving up. We set up a lesson to see her tonight and we did service at the food bank. I forgot what else we did but we had our drop/save lesson and we talked to her for an hour and she has decided to still investigate. Her younger daughter sure is an interesting one. She is very nice but has intense questions. 

Thursday all I really remember is we did our weekly planning and we had a nice visit with our YM leader. It has been a long week, so my memory is going haha. 

Friday we had...Elder Hamula of the Seventy come to our mission and talk to us and OH MY GOSH ALMIGHTY. It was so amazing on so many levels. He just spoke with so much power and his testimony was so strong. He told us so much and in 7 hours I learned so much from him. He started to cry while bearing his testimony and all you heard in the chapel was his voice and sobs from the Sisters and....me. I was just crying and crying and could not stop. He said if we could see past the veil we would never doubt the church, if only we could see. 
It was just so amazing and I went in thinking it would be good but left with such a sure testimony of this gospel to the point where I could, and can, live another 70 years on this earth with my testimony locked into my heart. 

Saturday and Sunday did not even compare but I was on an exchange in Oxnard. I saw a lot of old faces and that was really cool to see. Church was 7 hours again, covering two wards. It was just such a good week and man, I am so glad it is over. I was tired all day, everyday and still am. We have just been so busy, like we're already 3 weeks in and time is...poof!

Well mom, dad, Shelby Scott. I know without a doubt this church is true and that I am here because I need to be. Please don't stop or loose your faith in our Saviour, who needs you and you need him. I love you and I'll talk to you soon. 

Your brother and son, Kev
