Light Sabre Wars

The first time I looked I thought, "How on earth did they sneak light sabres into the MTC." But the second time through I realized it was a simple camera trick.

Figured it out yet? Check the photo below and all will be revealed.

Pictures from the MTC! (Volume 1)

So I'll post more pictures later, but I wanted to go ahead and put a few up! Cody finally send pictures from the MTC! Enjoy!

Cody Leaves For the Mission Field

Today Cody leaves the MTC and heads to Sunny Southern California! His letters are short but fun to read. He has met challenges and seen his shortcomings and has worked to overcome them and be the very best missionary he can be.

He also writes of little amusing things which are fun to hear. We have learned that all his experience at shopping at the souks (Open Markets) in Morocco did not go to waste. "The Elders on the 4th floor had a necktie exchange last night. Lucky for me none of them knew how to barter!" Unfortunately for us, he did not elaborate on what he got in the exchange. We will ask him and let you know.

He also wanted his brothers-in- law to know that they have done away with the 'community showers'. Kind of a "ha,ha for you guys" moment.

His mission address is posted on the sidebar for those who would like to write him. He says "his heart fills with joy" when he receives letters from family and friends.

We still have not received any pictures from him, but as soon as we do we will post them.

Thanks for keeping him in your prayers and have a wonderful week.

Elder Darryl Cody Cunningham is in the MTC!

Well, as of Wednesday, August 19, 2009 Elder Cunningham has been in the full time service of his Father in Heaven preparing to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the citizens of the State of California. He said goodbye to his friends, teachers, leaders, neices and nephews....
sisters and brothers-in-law and family and is happily serving the Lord for two years.

... Could you tell he was happy and excited to go and serve?

He will be in the MTC until September 8th when he flies to Riverside, CA. If you are in Idaho or Utah you could still send a letter to the MTC this week. His MTC address is:

Elder Darryl Cody Cunningham

MTC Mailbox #147-0908
California, Riverside Mission
2005 N. 900 E.

Provo, UT 84604-1793

After September 8th his official mission address will be:

Elder Darryl Cody Cunningham

3233 Arlington Ave. Suite 107

Riverside, CA 92506

Thanks for keeping him in your prayers. Cali and I will update this blog with his letters and pictures as we receive them so you can know how the work is going. Until then....

God Bless you!

The Next Thing I Knew.....

Mom and I left Nauvoo around 12:45 on Sunday the 19th, and drove to Missouri to return the camp trailer to the Egloff's. While there, Tom and John said they were trying to come up with a skit or something for their Stake Youth Conference Talent Show and I started singing some song parodies. They really liked it, so we came up with this one for them.

Cody presents:
