Baby Mice problem! Gross!!

HELLO brentwood!!!!! So another great week here in Cody!! it only rained a couple of times this week!!! but for the most part the weather has been great!!! So the fun stories for the week..... we have  had a mice problem but now it has turned into a baby mice problem!!!! they are too small to set off the traps so now i just always walk around in my shoes and when we hear one we find it and then i stomp on them hahaha but we make sure to move them to the hardwood so its an easier clean up;) hahaha but yeah thats been pretty dang fun! We have to move our baptisim from this saturday to the 26th!! She was out of town so she kinda fell behind but she is still set on being baptized so we are gonna make it happen this month!!! Im so excited to see it! All the hard work will pay off!! Being a missionary is great, you just never know whats gonna happen every single day!! I have never been so happy!! So cool thing happend to me this week!! I decided that i was gonna read some other books during my personal study to see if they would help me out in my teaching! And on thursday i just felt that i wasnt as happy as i normaly am or as ready to teach people! So i sat back and was thinking about it and it was cuz i wasnt reading the book of mormon everyday! I never really realized how happy and how it made me so ready to teach people! So yeah kinda just a little slap in the face for me!! But it was a great lesson to learn!! man this week is gonna be a great week though we are fixin to find a lot of people this week to teach!! That means a lot of doors slammed in the face and a lot of gettin cussed out but it will also mean finding people to teach so itll be worth it!!! Well i think thats all i got for yall!! have a great week i miss ya Brentwood!!!!!!

Love, Elder Swishdaddy

Best 4th Ever!!

Hello!!! Well another transfer has passed and the news is......Me and Elder Archie are both staying here in Cody for another transfer!! So I'm excited to keep working here in Cody and to keep getting to know people here!! Our investigator is on track to be baptized on July 19th. The work is really exciting here. Well the 4th of July was soooo awesome!!!!!! My day started out with a ward breakfast and then we got to go watch the parade(everybody knows my patience for parades) but it was fun! and then we had a ward bbq and then got to go with a family to their family farm where they had been collecting wooden pallets! They collect these pallets all year for the 4th so they had 500 wooden pallets stacked into this huge pile with 250 gallons of gas........ put the two together and we had an awesome bonfire!!!! But before they started the fire they dumped about half the gas on the pile and then stacked up the cans of gas on top and then pulled out their AR-15s and staerted shooting the cans of gas hahahahaha it was sooo cool hahaha the fire was so big it was amazing hahaha so that is definitely on the top of the list of one of my favorite 4th of July memories!! hahaha but as for the rest of the week it was pretty dang slow! Everybody was out of town cuz they hate how big the town is on the 4th of July! in a town of 9,000 people during the parade there is 60,000 people in town!!!!!!! its just craziness hahaha its literally a mad house!!! but lots of people for us to talk to thats for sure!!! So yeah that was my week in a nut shell!! It was a fun week with some great people! I hope y'all had a good safe week! i miss and love yall!!! have a great week!!!!

Love, Elder Swishdaddy
