How is everybody?
 :D I had a great day yesterday... if everyone didn't keep saying "short timer eh?" Or "Four weeks left right?" T^T  WHYYYYYYYY!?

Anyways this past week we had a long meeting and a good drive to spokane. On top of that we had a meeting with a member of the seventy. The whole mission was there so I was able to get some last minute contact info with other missionaries.

This past week we met with Sandy and Della who are finally letting missionaries back in and have admitted themselves they need to come back to church. Nothing makes my day like people realizing themselves that they need to return to church. It makes it all the easier to bring them in.

 It's going to be in the 85's all this week and everyone s complaining it will be hot. All I can think though is "This will be nothing compared to 120 degrees at home." On top of that I will have to say that this week we will be having possibly the last meeting with the mullens. My mission president is leaving in two weeks and I get to meet the new mission president and have him be my mission president for....two weeks. Not much time at all right? Who knows though, maybe something amazing will change or he will take the mission in a whole new direction.

I hope all of you are doing great!

Elder Padilla, with little time left you can do so much! When I ran that marathon I pushed hard from begining to end, but there was something about the last mile. I was on the 25th mile and I could feel every muscle and bone aching with sharp pain, but when a lady on the side said, "you can do it, only one mile left" I bursted into a full out sprint. I forgot about any pain I felt and finished the last mile in 7 minutes.
Giving my all at the end gave a sense of accomplishment. I felt amazing. In pain, but amazing. Elder, I promise that if you give it your all with only one month left, you will not only feel amazing and accomplished, but the Lord will bless you with a brighter and better future when you return. 
Love you. Sigue adelante.
