Hey Fam, Everythings going good here. We have gotten 4 new investigators seens I last wrote home. We finally have a person on date to be batized in the first week of October. And We should have another here soon. I haven't gotten to learn hmong. But, I have learned a few words in choopic. Thanks to our investigator Don. He's really awesome. He's the other one that will be on date soon. He just has to got tell his mom. Its a respect thing that his people from his village do or something. I dont know. But, We're having alot of fun. We went fishing with the zone leaders to day. It sucked. We didn't catch anything. The highlight of today was going to the beach. It was fun but i didn't take any photos. Yeah, so whatz all been crack-a-lacken at home? Oh, mom could you send that second pair of pants. Its hard to wash one pair when you don't have a back-up pair. And my one pair are muddy and sticky from fishing today. The wheather has been really good. It was funny this one day we were tracting in the rain. and we were walking up this ladies driveway and she was standing on the porch. As we were walking up there was some thunder and Lightning. It was funny cause they very rarely get thunder and lightning. It was awesome. Transfers are next p-day so i don't know if im staying in sterling or what not. so I'm not sure if my mailing address is going to be the same. So for this week you might want to put the other address on the mail you send me. If you send it with the address i'm at right now its ok it will just take longer to get to me. Well I better get back to work. I love and miss you all.

All my love,

Dear Mom & Dad & Fam,

Things are going great here. We're struggling finding people to teach, but we're having fun. The people are really nice. We've only had two days of clear sky and sunshine. The rest of the time it's cloudy and looks like it's going to rain. But it's still all good. Saturday we went to one of the Kenai Elders' baptisms. It was awesome. It's cool cause on Saturdays we get to play basketball with the investigators and members. It's way fun. Last P-day Elder Call took me fishing on the Kenai river. i caught five or six pink salmon and one silver salmon. We didn't keep any of them because pinks aren't good tasting and the silver was almost dead, so it wouldn't have been good to eat. But it was a lot of fun.....I am finding enough food to eat. The photos were great. And those wallet size photos aren't any good if I don't have a picture thing in my wallet. Please send one! Sorry my letters aren't long, I'll try to do better next week. And I'll try to write separate letters.

All my Love,

Elder Cody Lee Hoffman

P.S. I saw Robyn and Alison at church on Sunday in my ward. It was cool!!


***Side note: Robyn and Alison were our next door neighbors for years until their family recently built a new house. But we've all grown up together, and have been great friends for years.***
