Transfer 3, week 2


Hey,
This week was good, but hard at the same time. Mark and Diane are still on date for this Sunday. We confirmed Azuree yesterday. We picked up a guy named William as an investigator. He's cool, but a little odd, just like everyone else in Riverside. We have a possibility of 5 baptisms in a 5 week transfer, which is freaking dope. I'm excited for it because a lot of them are really solid. Vasti is just waiting until her cast comes off, Mark and Diane just need to be interviewed, Azuree is taken care of and done, then we just have to finish teaching William, get him interviewed and he's good to get dunked on the 15th. Busy, busy, busy, which is good, but tiring. We have fun with other missionaries, which is good. I'm around a lot of older missionaries that are finishing up. It's weird to see them go when it feels like I'm never going to end, but at the same time, I'm almost at six months, and looking a head to where my year mark is. It's insane how fast time moves when you're out. Elder Hughes is doing well. He's a good guy and we get a long well. He's a good teacher and I learn a lot from him.
Hope all is well at home. It's exciting out here, but I do miss home from time to time.
Elder Hughes and I were talking the other about agency the other day and he brought up and interesting thing. Justice cannot be robbed. It cannot be done, but what brings judgement and therefore bring justice? Agency. It's understandable that agency can dictate justice. Just like it says in verse 24, if we do what our Heavenly Father asks us, he immediately blesses us. Heavenly Father has armfuls of blessings he wants to give us, but we have to follow all the commandments he gives us. The commandments are to make us happier. Our Heavenly Father will never give us a commandment that will make us miserable. He only asks that we follow.

Gotta Jet, Love and miss you guys,

Cody

Also,  L Tom Perry and Elder Higham visited the Riverside mission.  Elder Higham is the Seventy over the mission.  Cody didn't get a chance to talk to him, but hopes he comes again so that he can have a chat with him and find the link that we are related.  Should be interesting.
