Investigator!

Hello! You guys have a letter in the mail from me! Yay for letters! It's kinda short and blah but at least you got one!

The greenie comes today in about a half hour or so. He will be comps with Elder Casalino. This is kind of weird because I'm almost 8 months out. Can you believe it? You know what I figured out? My 8 month mark is on Cole's birthday!

So, our investigator, was taught the Plan of Salvation on Monday and she is super stoked to hear more. 'Tis Awesome, Yes!!!!

So what was this about Millie tipping over like a statue?
Blake said something about it in his e-mail, but you didn't mention it in yours.

We are going to go to these ice caves when the greenie gets here (yes, Mom we will use our heads).

Oh, by the way, that picture of Kallie is very cute.

What have you heard from Blake? Anything super-cool and exciting? Oh, well.
Bye for now. Tell the dogs, Gracie and Kallie hi for me. -Cody

Spoke in church

Elder Morris is from a town called North Bend. Nice guy. At the current time, I am in a Tripanionship or "Trifecta" as Blake would say, with Elder Morris and Elder Casalino, because the greenies don't get here until next week. Elder Casalino is going to be comps with one of the greenies. We are excited for him to arrive.

Things have been pretty crazy the past week because we have covered both the Kingston area and the New Paltz area. BUSY!
Your letter hasn't gotten here yet, I expect that it should get here today.

Today we went for a hike in Minnewaska State Park. It was pretty quiet there and so beautiful.

Tell Kelsey's car sorry about Ben! Why am I not surprised it was hit by the neighbor? I got a letter from Liz yesterday! She told me that she was at our house a couple days ago? I need to write people. I swear need to staple something to my head to remind me.

So Meleea has won yet more tickets? That is crazy! Blake tells me that he finally got my letter (about time!). He was pretty excited to hear from me it seemed. I miss him. I need to set up some sort of way to talk to him at Christmas...I haven't spoken to him since January!

We lost our keys to the Kingston Corolla until yesterday. We were quite grateful to find them!!

I spoke in church on Sunday. I spoke on the Book of Mormon. Speaking of which, I would like you to read a scripture on the power of the Book of Mormon, from the Bible. Isaiah 29:11-14 &18.


Bye for now. Tell Kallie and the dogs Hi for me. Cody

New Companion!

Hello! My new companion is Elder Morris. He's from West Bend, Oregon and a great guy. I have had only 1 companion from Utah so far. Elder Mills goes home tomorrow. Will miss him! He has our address and phone number so expect a call (I told him to call Mom). So the missionary in our apartment who has been on his mission the least amount of time is the one who will be training the greenie. He will do a good job.

I am a little irked at my camera. It's been having issues saving pictures: Sorry, I will send some home soon!

You know what they have a lot of here? Poison Ivy! No, I haven't had a case of it, but poor Elder Casalino in my apartment has been plagued with it!

I did get your letter and the envelopes, so expect a letter. I loved the "addressee" on one of them.

I laughed when read that the dogs wouldn't come outside because the hose was on!

Well I need to go. Tell Kallie and the dogs hi for me! Cody
