Fancy cars, Morning hike....and more YSA fun

So, I heard you got notification of when I get home. That is kinda sucky but anyway. This week was crazy, still loving the YSA ward, and Elder Stewart is down to 3 weeks til he finishes his mission. 
He is pretty good but like this morning, oh man, we talked about our moms and I told him how I used to stick my finger in your ear and boy, I can not wait to do that again and to just drive you crazy! (He DID actually do that...and I can't wait either <3). I honestly think it keeps me sane to annoy you. 
Alright, now I will tell you about me and my companion getting mugged. Just remain calm, we're both fine because it never happened. Now see, you're probably jumping through the roof and knowing that is making me giggle hahah. Man, I love you Mom so much!! (Even from thousands of miles away this kid likes to make me crazy! haha)

Bentley / Rolls Royce
Dealership

Wow, there is a lot going on right now. Time has run almost completely out!! Crazy. So this week..the cool stuff. 

Monday we went to a members house in one of the family wards and we played pool, air hockey and table tennis in her game room. I did so good at air hockey, so good that I actually threw out my shoulder hahaha. Pretty tough guy, right?!!
We had dinner with the Sherwoods. He is the one born in Calgary, but moved here to be a fancy lawyer. Pfft Canada is better!! ;)

Tuesday..man, I am just in a goofy mood this day of the day of Monday. Jeez. So this day we tracted in 109 degrees. Yea, yea go the Lord's servants. It was actually not that bad because we got some cool, cool YSA Contacts...yea. We also did ultimate Frisbee and went to Institute but we have decided we are only 

More fancy cars...

going to go to the activities with non-members, or ones that are effective for us to go to, so we're cutting out a lot of them to find more so WE can baptize.

Dad, this is for you. There is a Rolls Royce & Bentley dealership in our area. That is how rich the area I live in is, so yea hahaha.  

Wednesday I was on an exchange with a missionary I served around in Oxnard. He goes home soon and seems to be focused on that, so it was okay. 

Thursday was better. I have to finish this email because it has taken me like 40 minutes to write because I keep getting distracted (sounds like my Kevin). Lots of weekly planning. Dinner I had ribs. They were good, I met with a YSA, got some good info on some people. Good day!!

Friday morning hike..

Friday we went on that hike for morning workouts and I was like, "lets go down the hill this way" (not the way we came up) "let's be adventurous, come on Elders". Well, we got lost in the Cali hills and ran an hour to get back on time, so I was a bit tired haha. We also had a great district meeting but we had 6 Elders at our place for lunch. The 2 we live with and 2 more and 5 of us did sock wrestling, which is all of us in one big pile trying to get each others socks off. I lost and we all got scratched up pretty bad and dinged up...#soo fun!! Yep I just # that's how cool I am. 

Californian deer...NOT
Canadian deer

Saturday and Sunday. The only thing I feel like telling you are 2 things. First, we met 3 people from India that were in their 20's who just came here for school, and we talked to them for 40 minutes. That was so fun. They were like Raj from Big Bang Theory with the accent. They made us laugh good. 
Second, one of our YSA who served in Independence, Missouri told us that he got chased by dogs, held at knife point and shot at, had an ex-bishop try to pay him $50,000 to leave the church so....earthquakes and fires are not looking so bad, are they? ;) Yep. Safe and sound haha. Yea, I'll end on that note!!

Mom, Dad, Shelby and Scott, you 4 are my life, my family, my friends and I love you and pray for you daily. Have a great week. Say hi's and send my love out to all my family and friends.
Muah!!

Love, 
Elder Routledge
