Staying in Roswell..........

A portion of Cody's latest email.........

So I am staying here in Roswell again. Elder Squires is leaving and I will be getting Elder Barnes. He is a new zone leader so I will be training him up. I was pretty happy, I really didnt want to leave at all. We have some pretty sweet people that we are working with now, and I think we are going to have some sweet baptisms next month, set the new year off right!

I am glad to hear from you all that you are sharing the gift...thank you for working in unison with me and the Lord! So what are the plans for Christmas? Its only 10 days away--can you believe that? I remember last Christmas pretty vividly, the time really is starting to quicken isn't it?

As we have gotten to watch the He is the Gift video and also the Christmas Broadcast the last couple weeks, I have really thought of the Lord's promise "by their fruits ye shall know them". As I have been able to take part in and observe this church's "fruits", or works, my testimony has been strengthened that this is His church. I am so very grateful for the structure, organization, transparency, and overall truthfulness of this Gospel, how could I ever deny it?

I sure love you guys! I got the family Christmas card the other day, haha I was shocked that Mom didn't make you guys all get together and take a picture? Haha just waiting for next year to start pulling teeth right?

Well my fam, take care, have an awesome week and know that I love and miss you all.
