Wahoooodle

XD well last time i emailed you the Jeep wasn't doing so hot, and well...more of the same i suppose. Thankfully we didn't wreck our car like the sisters, they bent a whole door in on their Subaru Legacy. not a wise thing to do whatsoever i will tell you that much.

After Thursday I had a wonderful jeopardy game and meeting with the sisters. It all worked out well enough! Everyone learned and had fun, and most of them took candy.

On Friday I mean was district meeting. After that we continued to work on our area book, because our miles were a simple DISASTER! On the plus side we were able to continue working and setting appointments.

On Saturday we went to Troy and Potlatch and boy did it snow! tons of it i'd say(probably just an inch and a half) So we Did work in Troy, the closer o our two branches and went and talked to anyone on the member directory that would talk to two handsome missionaries. Sadly that amounted to about two people and their dog Banjo. :D on the plus side it was something to do!

On Sunday we attended church in Troy and had a good time of it!

Dearest Elder Teancum Padilla,    

   You sound like you are so happy and yet very busy.  We are so glad that your District meeting went so well.  And that your instructions were well received by the other missionaries.  The traveling sounds like it is fun and fruitful.  It is such a blessing to us and your family that you have been given such amiable and awesome Companions to serve with.  Maybe because we want you to be happy and your faith strengthened from your Mission.  It sounds like you cover a pretty big area right now.  How many missionaries serve in this same area?  Do you travel every day?   Who drives?  Any future Baptisms?  What are the Saints like in this area?  Do you get fed often in their homes?  Are these Wards or Branches?  We are always full of Questions, Huh?!!!  How's the weather right now?
   We just wanted you to know that we love and support you and always want to know how you are.  Please keep writing and keeping us up to date on you.  May Heavenly Father's choicest blessings be yours.  Right now we have Elder Anderson, from Canada and Elder Watson from Kansas, who came from Vietnam and served in Malyasia until he got hit by a car on his bike.  They are AWESOME Missionaries!  Take care and know we are excited to always hear from you.  Keep the Faith and Good News going!!

   With Much Love, Grandpa and Grandma
