CODY GETS HIS MISSION CALL !!!

Cody's Mission call came in the mail Saturday June 6th. He was over mowing his grand parents lawn and Shelly had the idea to surprise him on Sunday when Ron and Pat came home from there month long vacation. So Ron and Pat where going to be getting home at 6:30 and we were going to pretend to have a welcome home party. We had some snacks and invited the whole family plus Bishop McKinney and two of his kid, who are Cody's friends. Some of the idea was Ron's so he got it started. He asked Cody if he had gotten his call yet and Cody said he hoped that the Stake President had sent it off. (We had been trying to call him with no luck) Then we went around the room and everybody guessed where they thought Cody would serve. Some of the places guessed where, Brazil, Hawaii, Wash. DC, Wash. State, Jamaica, Japan, California, and David (Randy and Felicia's son) guessed England. We had Cody's call in a gift bag next to the chair he was sitting in. I stepped over pulled it out and put it in his lap and said lets just find out right now. And he said "WHHHAAAATTT ARE YOU KIDDING ME". He said he thought this was a weird coming home party but he didn't have a clue what we were doing. And I guess y'all figured it out he's going to the Birmingham England Mission.
