Hello Family,
Well wow I am super stoked for my new assignment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
I
am going to Jaén. I am going to open up Jaén because it´s closed and I
will also be training a new little missionary!! So Jaén is really
close to a big city called Granada kinda on the other side of the
mission. So apparently President Clegg chose me to go there and and
then President Deere prayed and felt like I should go there as well.
Jaén is a really hilly place that is a little old city. I go to the
mission home tomorrow for Trainer training and then Wednesday I will go
to my new area that me nor my new companion has been in. So apparently
all the new missionaries are natives so I am going to be speaking
Spanish non stop for the next little while, yes!! So the next little
bit of my mission is going to be hard. I will be training, opening up a
new area and speaking only Spanish. I was kinda wondering when my
mission was going to get really hard again I have felt kinda normal for
awhile. So I am excited for the opportunity the Lord has given me. Oh
so Elder Peterson is training as well so we will get a cool photo
tomorrow. Elder Shaver will be my Zone Leader as well so we can get a
Grandpa, Dad and son photo.
(So yes all of your Sunday school boys are on a mission except Tyler
Young, apparently he went out but came home. I was pretty sad hearing
that.)

So Hermana Koh tells me I am her favorite missionary. She told me yesterday that she used to be a tour guide here in Sevilla
because she is fluent in English so she will take us everywhere here in
Sevilla. She is super excited to get to know you she says. She is
meeting me today to go yell at the people fixing my camera because I
leave tomorrow haha. So I have been taking pictures this whole time
with Elder Estrada so here is some! Elder Estrada is from Holladay,
same place and school as Elder Lignell. I don´t have the address of my
new house yet I will tell you tomorrow or I will have Elder Manning
email you it. Yeah I got the CD of Mercy River I love it! It was the
one I wanted.

So this last week we worked really hard and taught a lot of lessons
even though we couldn´t work for two days. This last transfer Elder
Estrada and I found 32 new investigators. I think I have found around
that same number all my transfers. Manolo kinda dropped us and I am not
sure why. He said he is super busy this week and that is about all.
However we are seeing another miracle with a girl named Lesly. She came
to church again and she is going to get baptized soon. I haven´t
really taught her a lot and she really likes me. (she told a member we
use to go teach her with that she loves me, super scary good thing I am
leaving Sevilla.) I have seen a really big change in her and she is
reading and really has found faith in God again. It will be really good
for when her kids come here to live with her. The family from Ecuador
is doing great. We set a baptismal date with Meryan and she is
excited. They came to church yesterday, well the mom, Meryan and the
little boy Juan that is 8. Alba is good and they are talking to the
parents of her to sign a form to let her go to EFY. She is so excited
and she still comes to church every Sunday. So overall I love Sevilla
it is amazing. There is a lot of prepared people here and I am going to
a place that I have been waiting for for a long time. I am ready for a
challenge and for something hard! I know I am going to be very humbled
there because it is a hard area that is why is was closed for 6 weeks.
So I will have an interesting email next week Pray for me please.
This Friday we are doing another day of diamonds "Día de Diamante" so
pray to help me and my companion find people in Jaén. I love you all so
much. It was a pleasure to be a Zone Leader and I had so much fun and
now I am ready to pick up my mission even more and push myself to be
more like the Savior.
Love,
Elder Cody
