STAYING IN CODY!

Hey guys!

First off, transfer news! I am staying in Cody another transfer and I will be with the same companion. I am just going to write one joint letter this week as we are headed to Powell shortly for a Zone P-Day.

This week has been better but I still wish the work would pick up so we could have scheduled lessons every night. The good news is we were able to teach A. C. the first lesson and he accepted to be baptized! He along with his mom and sister came to church yesterday and stayed for all 3 hours! It was awesome and I am so glad their mom is making it a priority in her and her families lives! Other than that it was mostly less active work again. Less active work is a good thing, but I have been dying to teach one of the actual 4 lessons to an investigator. I am really trying to step it up this transfer so that we will have more missionary work to do! I am excited to see what the transfer ahead will bring.

Yesterday at church was alright. We found out around 10 p.m. on Saturday night that we needed to teach Gospel Principles since both teachers were not going to be at church. So that went interesting. It didn't go to bad but I had to teach the lesson basically by myself which was not the original plan. 

We had a young lady in the ward give her farewell this week. She is headed to Gilbert Arizona! There is also another guy who just left on his mission for Tempe AZ but he came home from the MTC. :/

Jessica - So about your talk, I would focus on what being a disciple is (A follower of Christ) and what a disciples role is. I would also talk about the covenants you made when you were baptized and what it means to take upon you the name of Christ. Hope this helps! You'll do great. Love ya.

I think that is about it. I still haven't sent that package home yet but I should get it in the mail tomorrow!

I love you guys a ton and hope you have a fun week!
