:D ANd a howdy howdy to yall!
Well First off How's the family? How's the kids? how's the dog? ANYTHING ANY STORY back from you about how life is going is appreciated.
This week was lots of vistis with less active members, just talking mostly. It was good just a little bit less vibrant and exciting then YSA was. YSA we had people to talk to every minute of every second(PRetty much, that's an overstatement yes but it was still pretty busy)
NEXT WEEK I'm going to the temple on TUESDAAY! YAAAY! :P Shopping in spokane, eating in spokane, laaaughing in spokane, it will all be good.
Sadly as time has gone by I have come closer and closer to the end, the passing, the translation of missionary to normal again. I had my first trunky dream, of just being home...it was glorious and also has made me wistful...
ON the plus side I got a package from my parents full of easter goodies(Those bumpy jelly beans are going FAST! I think half the bag is gone already. Blame the zone leaders not me!) and ENYA! Which is good because the rules about music have tightened considerably!(You can only listen to music you would feel comfortable to listening in Sacrament. :/ not a wide berth of direction THERE then. some missions get NO music though so something is better then nothing.)
Monday was short and so was tuesday. Wednesday we met with brother LaRitchie who is a returning less active. He is a good guy but we could talk forever, which is not a good thing when you have to budget your time.
Thursday we went and tracted into what seemed to be the golden investigator. She was asking lots of questions and was trying to understand christianity from the ground up, and then her Uncle came in and started throwing the conversation out of kilter with random anti-mormon literature and such. BLUUUCH. X/ not happy with that....However she defended learning about it without tainted information which was actually pretty good and amazing! Oh I wanted to highfive her when she questioned the information he was throwing out.
Friday we just worked our domes off again meeting less-actives. Saturday was the same as well.
Sunday we had a full blast when we exchanged with the zone leaders.One of the Zone Leaders is Elder Braman who was a previous companion of mine. We love to joke with each other a lot. :P The other Zone Leader is Elder Lyden.
Me and Elder Orchard are doing fantastically and are getting along superbly!

Elder Padilla,
Nice to hear you are doing well. Keep up the hard work.
Let's see..... I'll start with Cheri.
Cheri is doing real well in her job. As a bookkeeper she has to always think of doing the legal thing, even when her boss does not. But she sticks up for what she knows to be right. She also is doing a great job as young women's president. She finally got her two counselors after 6 months. The joys of living in a branch.
Alexandria should be going back on her mission in a week. She came back for a small surgery, after 6 weeks of recovery, she's ready to go back out.
Denouement is becoming quite the artist. She's been painting with oils and drawing with pencils, I'm very impressed.
Gio is growing like weed. We (Dena, Gio, Charlton, Kean, and Ammon), went on a hike for three days. Gio is such a hiker. He has a lot of stamina. He was almost always in front and he carried one of the heaviest backpacks. Recently Gio became a Priest. Poor guy had to start the sacrament prayer over three times. I remember that happens to me. On the second mess up, about half way through I made the mistake and in frustration I said, "Oh man!". Half the congregation said, " Amen". I was so embarrassed.
Charlton is also growing like a weed. He's still making his own fireworks. I worry for him because he's such a procrastinator. He's a straight A student, but he waits to the last minute to turn assignments in. Just the other day he got a progress report with a C on it. I was like "What!". He said he had so assignments to turn in. I church his grade three days later, an A. Drives me crazy.
Kean is Mr happy go Lucky. Right now he's collecting Yuigo cards (I know I spelled that wrong). He'll buy a bunch on line and sells them at school, and keeps the ones he wants. He's actually made more money than he's put out. Little business man. He's adjusted well to being a deacon.
Ammon spent almost a week with us. It was nice getting to know him better. He's a great young man. He's is become quite the artist. He had the physical strength of his father. On our 25 mile hike, he didn't even get sore.
We pray for you all the time. Love you.
-- Edward
