Cody is coming home soon!
December 21,2015
This week was really good. We picked up 4 new investigators. In Moreno Valley it's easy to pick people up, it's hard to get them to church and keep appointments. That's just the way missionary work is. You just go with it and continue to find the person who is going to progress. Our current stat for investigators who get baptized is 16:1. You have to pick up 16 investigators to baptize 1. You need to talk to about 18 people a day to find a new investigator. That's a lot of people. And our mission is one of the lower ones. In Arkansas, the ratio is like 75:1. That would suckkkk. Anyway, we have Christmas this week. It'll be an interesting week. Not a lot of people are going to be home, so we'll have to work harder.

This week was really good. We picked up 5 new investigators by showing them the "A Savior Is Born Video" and they're all really cool people. The trio that I am in is ending. Elder Dunn's new comp is here and it's just Elder Truman and I. It's going to be good to be able to just work in our area from here on out. Being in a trio is hard because it's hard to talk to people without feeling like you're mobbing up on them, you have to balance the two areas and having people ask you why your numbers are doing bad. Anyway, we're getting there.

What a week!
Interesting week, huh? I was sitting in my apartment at about 3 in the afternoon when one of my zone leaders called and said that there was a shooting in San Bernardino and 12 people were killed with others wounded. It turns out that 14 people were killed over all. We were told that it should not affect our proselyting efforts, but the Elder that I was on exchanges with said that he didn't want to. Understandable, but it didn't feel like something that should have held us back. Whatevs. An Elder who was serving on the other half of the ward went home early for depression, so I'm currently in a trio. It's fun, but more difficult because we feel like a mob running up on people. It's only for a week, so it's all good.

November 30,2015
Hopefully everyone had a good Thanksgiving. This week was a week where we set up appointments for this week, so we'll see what happens. We'll be working it anyway, so it'll all work. I got roped into speaking in Sacrament. I went 21 months without speaking in Sacrament and they got me. It was fine. I've gotten over public speaking at this point. You get over it. It was easy too. It was on Christlike service. It's the Christmas season, so it's easy to tell people to be Christlike. It's easy anyway, but super easy now.
Stay tight

Cody and Haileighs Grandma... I wonder if she has a name????
Cody and Elder Calvert.... he's a big kid..

So, this was my first week back in MoVal. It's been odd. On Saturday we went to a member's house and she knew who Kylee was. That was weird. We have Thanksgiving with them this week. I'm on bike again and I want to die. I think that biking is probably my worst enemy. It's all good though, I only have 11 weeks left, so I can just put up with it. It's no biggie. I'm with Elder Truman. He just finished getting trained, so he's really new. It's weird to think that I was at that point, and it feels like yesterday that I was just being trained. Missions are weird. Not a whole lot to report this week. We're trying to build the area up.

Transfer time again
This email was really short, we had a meltdown because the internet and all phones went down, so I didn't get his email until the next day, and so I didn't have a chance to email back and get a response, so very little info on him this week, but hey, we only have 83 days until he is home! YAY!!!
I've been transferred to Moreno Valley again and I'm on bike. Super short email because I have no time.

Awe inpiring story
Joseph got baptized.
Weeks ago Elder’s Frost and Denning of the Circle City Ward talked to a young man at a bus stop outside Centennial High School. They felt the Spirit prompt them to speak with this young man. They spoke for a little bit and right as the Elders were about to get this young man’s information, his bus arrived and he had to leave. We arrived and picked Elder’s Denning and Frost up for the dinner appointment and they re-told all that had just happened and told us that they thought that the young man lived in our area. We were disappointed that an address or phone number wasn’t obtained, but that’s what happens with missionary work sometimes. My companion and I went about our day the same and a couple of days later we were trying some potentials from our area book that were from over a year ago. We found a name for someone named George that looked like it had some potential, so we decided that we would try it out. We arrived at the house and knocked on the door and young man answered the door.
We asked, “Is George here?” The young said, “Which George?” My companion and I were taken back. That had never happened to me before. After a moment we asked, “Has there ever been someone who has taken missionary lessons here before?” The young man said, “No, but I spoke with a couple of you a couple days ago. They said that they were both from Utah.” Elder Vang and I were perplexed by this because there wasn’t a companionship in the zone where both missionaries were from Utah at that time. I asked, “You spoke to guys like us? They were wearing white shirts, ties, and black name tags like us?” He said, “Yes. One was Samoan.” I knew exactly who he was speaking of. Elder Denning was from Elk Ridge, Utah while Elder Frost was from American Samoa and his family had moved from American Samoa to Utah while Elder Frost had been out on his mission. I said, “You were waiting for a bus a few days ago.” He said that he had been. I asked him if he thought that it was a coincident he talked with them, but they didn’t get any contact information, but that we found him anyway. He said that he didn’t think that it was, and I agreed. We asked his name and he said his name was Joseph. We met with Joseph and taught him the first lesson and taught about the Restoration of the Gospel in its fullness. We asked Joseph to be baptized and he said, “Just tell me when and where.” Brothers and Sisters, when the Lord asks us to do something that we aren’t familiar with or that seems redundant, do we ask, “Lord, how long do I have to do this? How hard is it going to be? What do I get out of it?” Or do we, like Joseph, simply say, “Just tell me when and where, Lord. Just give me the chance.” We saw Joseph take that first step on his road to returning to be with our Heavenly Father.
I bear witness of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. He saw our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon is the word of God along with the Bible. It contains the fullness of the everlasting Gospel of Christ.
I testify of the divinity and the reality of the Christ. He is the Living Song of the Living God. He felt our pains, afflictions, and infirmities in Gethsemane, He suffered our sins on the cross at Calvary, and He rose from the tomb on the third day like He said he would. I had a friend who wrote me a personal letter while she was serving on the Canada Vancouver Mission. She said, “I am realizing that the tomb is empty and that makes all the difference.” She is one-hundred percent correct. He lives, his Atonement can change you, but only if you let it.

Not Ship Wrecked, Not Quite Yet
I think I'm in my last 100 days. That's crazy. It feels like yesterday that I was in the MTC. Javier and Briana didn't come to church again, so they'll probably be dropped soon. Sister Cruiz went to Utah, but still made it back in time for church. She'll probably go down in November. But other than that, it's the same old, same old.
Calvert crashed super hard on the way to dinner.
