I LOVE my missionary!

My older brother Cody is on a mission in the Birmingham England area. We are 19 months apart in age, and i consider him one of my best friends!

aren't we cute?! anyways he has always been there for me and i love him very much!

He's doing very well on his mission they have baptised 3 maybe 4 since he's been out (sept 25, 2009) He rides a bike EVERYWHERE and has gained 14 lbs. (which equals one "stone" in England) all muscle with a little bit of fish and chips! lol

Cody has such a strong testimony and always has done all of the right things... i've always been jealous of how perfect he is! lol

Elder Dallin H. Oaks"The gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become converted. It teaches us what we should do, and it provides us opportunities to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. The full measure of this conversion to men and women of God happens best through our labors in His vineyard.""I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go," Ensign, Nov. 2002, 67
