Hello Everybody!

It was a good week! haha all the weeks are good though, i should just stop saying that. we are still staying busy so that is good. we had a lot of canceled lessons last week, which is a bummer, but nothing we're not used to! haha but we did have a baptism and a confirmation, which was awesome. Hunter Engel, a ten year old whose mom is a very faithful member but his dad is not a member at all. so that was a really cool experience, cause they did something i have never seen, and he had his ten year old classmates do the talks on the holy ghost and baptism. that was cool cause he had the support of classmates, and they got to participate in that fun and special experience of a friend. other than that the week was pretty slow, we had a few lessons, our investigators are all still progressing, which is always a blessing. we have the Ericksons baptism this weekend, which i am pumped for. six confirmations.. that should be a fun sacrament meeting. Oh yeah, something funny happened a while ago that i forgot to mention. we have this family in one of our wards who was less active, then their son decided to put his mission papers in, so when he did i kept telling him he was going to Tempe Arizona, and he kept denying it. then he got his call and guess where he is going! Tempe Arizona. haha so that was pretty funny. he is leaving i think next week, but i'm not sure. So look out for Elder Cody Calloway, you know, cause our mission is so small. that is always funny, cause i tell people i'm from Arizona and they go, oh i know someone from arizona, do you know so-and-so? and i have to tell them, uhhh, no. our county is like six times the population of idaho... i think i get that 9 out of 10 dinners that i go to. Oh, speaking of dinners, i gained a pound. haha 167 and counting. my goal is 180 by the time i get home. okay, well, i am just rambling at this point. i hope everything is going well at home, and i hope you all have a wonderful week. keep praying for the missionaries, and pray for the work in your areas, we really can work miracles in the lives of others, in fact, that is kind of our job. haha anyways. i love you all immensely!
