(For those who don't know; Cody has a
girlfriend, Heather Stratton. Cody is very close with her family,
especially her younger twin sisters Jordyn and Rachel. Rachel was just
diagnosed with cancer-a brain tumor they can not operate on because
of where it is located and because of the type - it is very serious.
The survival rate is 6 to 9 months after diagnosis. We are all praying
for a miracle and we know that Rachel can do it! Cody has been aware she has been sick since June but doctors couldn't find out why,
because she had different symptoms. Cody just found out it was
cancer. He loves Rachel like a little sister. Rachel wrote him and told
him about it, and this is his response. We also had told Cody about our
Lake Powell trip)
Family,
Wow that was a really sad and good email. I cried and I laughed. Thank you for taking pictures and telling me about the trip. Rachel. I love that girl, I cannot believe that. Sorry I am kinda speechless right now and I don´t know what to say. I hope my email will be some what lengthy. I will pray and fast for her don´t worry. I have been praying for her the past two weeks after Heather told me that she was sick. WOW, I am sorry I am really speechless. All I know is that the Lord works miracles and is a God of miracles. The only reason he would not work miracles around us, is if we don´t have faith. Mormón 9: 19-20 I believe. I need to study some scriptures for her and send her some stuff. She literally is a little sister to me and I know I will see her when I get home.

I am so jealous of Matt, he is going to Peru. I love Peruvians more than anything. I think they are my favorite people in the world. So I am going to attach some photos here.

We had a really great week. We had to travel up to Madrid and back and that took from 8:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night. So that made me tired. My companion had to do his residency up there so that
was kinda fun to go up to Madrid. Tomorrow we get to go to the mission home in Faungirola, where we have a follow up trainers meeting. I am stoked I need to give someone a hug right now so I get to see Manning and Peterson tomorrow. I am sorry I really don´t know what to write right now I am just nervous. I love you all and I love you so much I hope you know that.
We met a new lady named Blanca. She is from El Salvador and is so good. She came to the church Friday morning and we taught her and at the end she told us that no other message in the world has touched her
heart like ours and started crying. She also came to the baptism. The thing is that her husband is an old Spanish guy who controls her and he gets mad if she goes to church and all that. She still goes behind his back and I am positive she will get baptized. Antonia and Alba are good and stubborn. The whole family didn´t come to church and our ward mission leader didn´t show up to the baptism. The ward missionaries sang a musical number with us in the baptism it was super good. The baptism song from the primary hymns. The one about rainbows. Well I am doing good don´t worry about me! I would love the wedding pictures soon haha. I hope you all had fun at Powell and the next you go I will be there!! I am excited for ya´ll to come out but no worries I am not trunkie and you won´t make me trunkie.
I love you all.
CODY
