Cody's Homecoming Invitation

March 12, 2012 - Email to Family

Well that is pretty rad about Brady and Jaycee getting engaged, I am excited for them, did she cry? ¡CLARO!  They look good together.  How did Jerame like them?  Did you not take any pictures of Zac?  I would like to see him.  How are things going?  Sorry, you can write longer letters I just really have nothing new to say.  I mean if there is a cool little story I will tell you.  It really is just the same thing every day working hard and having fun.  Maybe I am just too caught up in the mission to be way good at writing or something.  I feel like when I was less focused in the mission is when I would write longer letters when nothing really happened that week.  So be normal!!  I will try my best to be normal.  SO it kinda sucked saying good bye to Elder Waite.  I really had an excellent time with him and I am pretty sure that I won't find a companion that can match his niceness.  Not only was he an awesome missionary but he was a good comp.  It was so easy to get a long.  He always served me and it was easy to serve him.
 
Well I hope you all had a fun week, this week was good I guess just continuing the work here in Sevilla.  We have some good work to do.  We have found a new girl that looks really good, her name is Nadia and she is from Peru.  Her mom just got baptized by Elder Waite and White in December.  She is 19 years old and she came to church and all.  She has even read a little bit in the Book of Mormon we left her mom to give her.  Her mother was supposed to be in the investigator class with her because she is a recent convert but Nadia was alone, in fact I don´t remember seeing her at church at all.  So that is amazing that she may have came to church alone.  I am excited because she is kind of a shy girl.  On Sunday a family from Texas came to church and I talked to this kid that served in the Provo Utah mission and I gave him Montana´s reference haha.  I thought they would look good together.  So when you see Montana let her know and see if this kid has talked to her.  He goes to UVU so they live close!  So the María has a date to be baptized, the date is dropped.  She hasn´t come to church yet and she is always busy so she says.  She always answers which shows she isn´t trying to blow me off.  So my new comp is Travis Paul Lignell.  He is from Holladay Utah.  He was just in Alicante with Elder Manning.  Well he is a cool dude he played football and played with the Highland Rugby team that made the movie called Forever Strong.  So he has a couple national titles and all that.  Good guy, really chill and funny.  Like an hour ago I just got home from Málaga, we had Zone Leader Conference again.  It was excellent, I love being a leader.  President is an amazing man, and has had a really cool life.  He is also a cancer survivor.  We had an excellent meeting and discussion.  He says he has never in his life seen a group help each other with problems and conference like we just did.  We go around and tell people what we want our Zone focus to be and ask for help from the other missionaries.  After President got up and said that; that is always how I have wanted it to be, to just sit don´t and not have to talk and be blown away.  He was crying when he was saying that.  I hope all that makes sense because it is really hard to explain with words.  All I know is that missionaries are powerful and they are amazing.  I am blown away by the leadership there is in the mission.  We are doing amazing and a lot better than the other missions in Europe.  
 
Finally we had 3 ladies from Nicaragua come to church.  We got Dinieda (really spelled like Dineyra)  to come to church.  I think she liked it a lot.  She came for the whole 3 hours.  Well so my mission card just got sucked up into a machine and ruined for no reason haha I didn´t type in my code wrong so I may have to use my card this week.  I also got a whole in the bottom of my back pack so I will need a new one.  I have had that sucker since 8th grade.  Well I love you all so very much.  I am doing well and working hard.  I love the mission so very much.  Congrats to the happy couple!!!!
