WEEK OF INSANITY!!!!!!

We got a lot of stuff to talk about so we'll get crackalacking!

Monday was crazy because that evening we drove down to Oxnard (about 2 hours) to stay with the assistants. So we had to make a stop in Santa Barbara to pick up a baptism form from the Hermanas. (Santa Barbara is about 1 hour from us on the way to Oxnard). The reason we were picking up the form from the Hermanas is because they start teaching this dude who was gunna get baptized. But this guy's father didn't want him to get baptized. So his father told this guys cousin to pick him up and take him to live in Santa Maria. Well, Jokes on him because there are missionaries in Santa Maria who baptize too, us. So the Hermanas in Santa Barbara told us to get in contact when him and baptize him. We're like we can do that. So the cousin abducted the guy and took him to SM without the Hermanas knowledge. So fast forward to Monday evening. We were just about to pull up to the Hermanas apartment. We get a call from the Hermanas. They said their guy didn't like SM so he somehow came back to SB. So turns out he is getting Baptized in SB. So ya we were not needed. So we made 2 trips to unneeded trips to SB cuz do you remember when we had to go to SB a few weeks ago. Well the Hermanas told us we could stop in SB on the way back and they would have some cookies for us. So we get down to Oxnard. We stay the night with the assistants.

The next day we had MLC (a meeting). From 10 am - 4pm! They did give us lunch which was good! President Carter is rocking the mission. There are lots of changes. Well, the rest of that night, we had exchanges with the asistants. That was good. We asked a lady if she was Cristina. She responded "no I'm catholic". Haha.

Next day, we get driving back north. We stop again in SB to get cookies from the Hermanas. Traffic was terrible. So we finally get home. We get a call from the sisters who live in the same complex as us. They tell us that a guy dropped them off flowers and a teddy beer. We tell them to call President. 5 minutes later we get a call from President and he tells us to just switch apartments with the sisters. That's too bad because they just opened a brand new apartment and ours was very old. So then begins moving. Moving is rough!

So the next day we have exchanges. But in the morning we have to take our car into the dealership to get the windshield wipers fixed. So we had to get a ride back when the Elders we were gunna exchange with. Well we all came back to our apartment to move some more stuff. We get a call from the housing senior missionaries. They tell us they have a washer and dryer for us. So along with the new apartment we got a washer and dryer! After lunch we go pick up our car. Then we have our exchange.

The next day we had CDC (a meeting with our zone). We start another exchange after that. I was with an English elder is his area in AG. It was cool to be back there. We talked to a guy on the street who invited us in to see this house he just painted.

The next day we had another exchange. I took a younger missionary into my area. We had 2 FIRE lessons. We put our friend Robert on D8 to be Baptized on March 19th!

We had stake conference on Saturday night and Sunday morning. It was good!

I love you all have a great week!
