No progress on any of the families but Miguel and his family said that they would love to go to the Gladys Knight thing with us which is a once in a lifetime thing. We get to go on Nov 5th, the day after transfers and Elder Hutchings will probably go to a different area.
(I asked Cody if he will stay where he is on the next transfer) I probably will because he (Elder Hutchings) has been in this area for 6 months so its my turn.
Did you get a letter from Sister Ericson? she is so sweet she gives us food like none other, half the food we have is because of her. No we won't be participating on Halloween we will be required to be in by 6.
Right now I'm still being trained but next transfer I probably won't train, it's a processes. You get trained then your second companion is called your polisher, but I don't know what's in store. Well I have to go, bye I love you.

We played some pool on an 8 ft table instead of a 9 ft table (we lost), tried cow tongue and learned about the secret room in the hill cumorah
JJs family is not progressing they are struggling. I can't go into any more details. So someone in the ward got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and I was able to help with the blessing. I told our story and gave her the blog info and Tami's book name and she said she would read them.
Ok, so the cow tongue. Bishop took us to dinner at a Mexican place and Elder Hutchings wanted to try the weirdest thing they had so he got the cow tongue tacos, I was smart and got a chicken bean burrito. So when they brought the food out, the cow tongue was chopped up so I took one and tried it............IT WAS NASTY......... but I could eat it if I had to, also if there was something I could puke in later. Elder Hutchings said that he got through 1 1/2 tacos and said it was getting to him later in our car, he said he might puke, he didn't thank goodness.
Daily routine: wake up shower, eat, exercise (if we remember), personal study at 8, companion study at 9 and because I'm being trained we have another hour of companion study at 10 then it varies on what we are doing.

Aug 26 - Oct 7
I haven't posted anything for a while but that is because Cody isn't much of a writer but I will post the little tid bits he has sent me.
Oct 7...
ok so a few weeks ago JJ went missing but a few day later he came back.The lessons have been going on but only the 2 youngest have been coming. The 9 yr old girl wants to be baptized but she needs to get her dads "ok" so we talk to him after conference and he said he would think about it. Bro Williams (JJ bro) had us over for General Conference and JJ's family was there including him. We talked to him and he said that he wants to change his life around so hopefully we can help. We are also teaching the Tait Family they are a great family we have only taught them once but we see some potential. we have also been teaching a woman named Dorothy she has a lot of questions she's not progressing fast but potential is there. We are also teaching another family His name is Red they are progressing really slow but they love having us over the can feel the good vibes that we bring in with us.

ok so we have been having some complications with teaching JJ and his family so I don't know how that's going but we are now teaching a guy named Red and his family we are also teaching the Tait family we just started teaching them but not to much is going on. I was wondering if you could send me some jeans a pair of the faded ones and some work ones and some of my T shirts (NOT dads) and my white shoes. it doesn't mater what is on the shirts. oh and some socks. So I asked the mission president if i needed a white shirt and tie and pants for a baptism and he said i did so i will be needing my temple bag also
Sept 23....
No I didn't fix the porcha yet. ok so we did some running around today and we got some chicken and a had bbq for lunch today. transfer 2 is here today. We went to teach JJs family but only the 2 youngest attended and when we got there she was playing missionary so next week we are going to have her help teach the lesson she says she wants to read Matthew than she will get baptized I don't know why Matthew but ok?

Thanks I need the button for my jacket not for the sleeves. We taught JJ's family and committed them to baptism and they said that they would pray and we also invited them to a baptism and they want to come. The 9 year old has been coming to church for a long time and says that she wants to be baptized and so we will wait to see what the family decides to do.
So we did some service helping build a house for a member and hopefully teach this one guy and we see an old porch and so we had to check it out and ask about it. it has a new engine in it that has 300 miles on it and all it needs is to get new fuel and probably a new battery and so the guy that owns it is hopefully going to invite us back to work on it and hopefully we get to drive it.
Sept 9...

We have been working on getting my priesthood linage I'm excited. Can I Get a picture of my chair. My suit lost a button and I need it can you go to MR Mac and get some? I have the PSJ world traveler I need like a lot of buttons. music requests Mercy River and anything at deseret book.--
