Elder Cody Bug

My baby brother is now a missionary! He has been in the Argentina MTC for 2 weeks now and he is LOVING it. Driving him to the Airport instead of the MTC was weird.

Here is me and Annie showing off our Lip Gloss at Cody's Goodbye Breakfast. I'll probably send him this picture and tell him it's us blowing him a kiss goodbye.

Here is our Family at the airport, right before Cody had finally had enough of us and made it through Security where we would have to stop hugging him and pinching his cute little cheeks. (Lacy was missing because of higher education, so she is excused)

At Cody's Farewell. We still all look like clones but Cody is finally the tallest.

Cody is allowed to email on Thursday and today I was just made aware that I've been sending his emails to his old email address. In his letter today he wrote... " Hmmm and Star? Why? Porque no me amas? (Why don't you love me?) No letter. If only I had the perfect scripture to send to you telling me how to guilt people into sending me mail. Let me just check my fancy book thingy here."

Which is hilarious because I made Cody a book of everything I learned and thought he needed to know for his mission.

This was one of my favorite pages from the book. (Cody got the actual picture in his book)

The book, by the way, is awesome. It ended up being about 50 pages. Here's a small sampling of what I put into it.

Good Mission Advice

Also in Cody's letter was this, "So not much has happened since last week. Except that they dropped me and another white boy in some subburb in Buenos Freakin Aires."

I can't imagine! When I was in the Provo MTC the worst that they did to us was make us talk to people pretending to be investigators. We had no idea what those people were saying but we could just smile and nod. He had to go out and talk to people. He said that a missionary from another church tried to preach to them, "It was like a 7 minute rant and all we heard was Yo se que (I know that) and Creo que (I believe). I feel bad for the guy though, he put so much effort and facial expression into trying to convert us and we had absolutely no idea what on earth he was saying."

He LOVES getting to play soccer everyday. They call him Baby Rooney due to his skill and his ability to look like Wayne Rooney the soccer player.
