Kody's MTC experience

We got our first letter from Kody on Nov 15th, which happened to be Mom's birthday. It was all she could ask for! The best part was not only did we get the letter in the mail, but we got an email too. It was his P-day and he didn't know if we had gotten his letter. It was amazing to see the growth in just the couple of days between the two. He was a little homesick at first, but once he saw all his old friends and got into the routine he let the spirit take over. He loves his instructors and is truly learning to teach by the spirit, which is his favorite part. He told us that as he was teaching an "investigator" and the spirit was so strong that she began to cry. He said he has never felt anything like it.

His companion is Elder Wells from Denver, CO. Kody says he is really quiet and he usually carries the conversation. (Imagine that!). He loves his district and found out that he knew the girlfriend of one of the elders. He got some food poisoning into his second week. Some elders in his district gave him a blessing and he felt better. He said it was a cool experience. He has already gotten a few care packages which I know he appreciates. He is loving his experience there and feels like the time is flying by. He will leave the MTC on the 29th of Nov for Missouri. This Thanksgiving, his family is very grateful for Kody and his desire to serve the Lord at this time in his life.

Last hugs!
