Hey Madre
Let me know how the Augustin's do! Haha you will probably get a kick out of President he definitely is a lot different than what I was usually used to. Love that man though! If you get the chance tell Sis Augustin Elder Backus said hello (:
I am ready for Zone Training tomorrow...thank you for the talks, they really helped out. I will let you know how it all goes, thank you!
Thank you so much for your prayers. We were able to find a lot more people to teach this week, thank you so much. Hopefully we can get them to progress now! (:
How is the rest of the fam? How are you doing? Thank you for sharing your testimony with me, it means so much. I love and miss you like crazy!
Love, Your one and only son
Hey Mom!
Lizzy gave me a shout out huh? Haha I hope everything goes okay for her, those first few weeks in the MTC are rough! She will do good. Pretty weird to see all those guys after a year...haha some look like they have changed others not so much.
Soooo I got transferred. I am pretty bummed about it. I have loved it here in Lubbock, the ward, the city, everything....but of course once you get comfortable you have to move. Haha and it doesnt help that I am getting transferred to the WEIRDEST place in America...I got assigned to be a Zone Leader in Roswell, New Mexico...I was hoping to stay a Texas Ranger my whole mission but to no avail. ); I really am sad to be leaving but I know that it is where I need to be at this time. Elder Bladen will be my new companion. I have heard good things about him so we will see how it goes...where did your mission boundaries go to? Haha what do I need to know about New Mexico? I cant believe I am going to be back in Mountain Standard Time...haha!
Haha tell Cass not to write Elder Mort back hahaha well mom, I would love to hear from you, shoot me an email if you get a chance. I love and miss you like crazy.
Love, Cody
Madre!!!
Well, first of all, loved the pics!! You dont look any different now than you did back then! The bangs were a bit wild, but hey, that was the time and culture right? (;
Things are going well here. My Zone here is huuuuuge compared to lubbock. There are 4 districts instead of 2, 28 missionaries instead of 20, and our zone covers about 300 miles from top to bottom. Yikes!!
Elder Bladen is a great guy, he is from Logan and has been out about 17 months. Roswell, when you get past all the alien stuff....its everywhere, is actually a pretty nice town. The people are for the most part pretty friendly. There are two wards here. In the ward I cover alone, there is 600 registered members, but only about 140 are active...we have a lot of work to do. We have a baptism this weekend with a 18 year old boy named Jonathan, so hopefully everything will go smoothly. I love and miss you like crazy mom. I will send you a letter today and try and give you some more of the deets (; When do the girls start school? I love you!
Hey Mom!!
Well, I better get to the red questions first before I forget...Jonathan did get baptized, and received the Priesthood yesterday after he got confirmed in Sacrament Meeting. I'm not working in any Spanish Branches, Elder Bladen is an English missionary so anybody I find I refer back to the Spanish Elders here. We are in the finding stages now so we are hitting the bikes a good three hours a day or so and talking to everybody that we can, its hard work! Really if you could just pray that we will be able to find somebody who has truly been prepared by the Lord to receive it, that would be much appreciated.
I heard Cassidy did a great job; Sister Pearmain actually wrote me and told me all about it (: Crazy to think she is growing up so fast...and then that picture of Christine...haha what!!! Gone are the "Bean" days huh?
When does Sean come into the field?? I would love to have him in the Zone...I will talk with President Heap and see if I can influence some inspiration or something haha!!
I read about the Meet the Mormons movie in an Ensign, that sure would be cool to see!! Hopefully it can get around out here, that would be a great tool to use!
Well Mom, I miss you very very much. I guess I am not technically a new missionary anymore, but I sure do feel like it sometimes. Thank you for the prayers and constant love, it means the world to me. Oh, and I loved those mission pics of yours, haha they were great!! Have an awesome week Mom.
Love, Cody
