(The shirt that Kody mentioned was sent to Ruthan.  The only issue is that he picked an X-large.  That is a little big for Ruthan so she thought Kody had bought it for himself...but it is for his Mom!!)

This is Ruthan's note back to Kody:
Good evening😀 we are already and so excited to talk to you in the morning😀  Mitch will be here after work and ready to talk in the morning as well!!!!! Please call my number.  Sleep well my son and we love you so much.  Talk to you in the morning😀

This a picture of Kody's whole union at the MTC, they all left at the same time and will all serve in the Baltimore, Maryland Mission

Kody arrived at 4:00 at BWI (Baltimore-Washington International Airport.  Sister Christiansen (the Mission Presidents wife), finally got ahold of Ruthan at about 9:47 Ruthan's time to let her know Elder Killian had arrived.  She shared that when Kody got off the plane he had the whole unit singing.  He had 2 Book of Mormons with his testimony and he gave both away on the plane.

This is Ruthan's message she sent to Elder Killian:

Good Evening😀 I just got off the phone with Sister Christiansen.  She told me multiple times how amazing you are and how much your unit loves you💖 I am so proud of you and I truly know the lord knows each our hearts personally and blesses us to know what we need to become our best selves and to touch others lives.  There is no question in my mind that you are going to continue to be a leader and touch and bless so many lives!!!! I love you tons!!! I am so blessed to be your mom!!!

One other note.....Every night Kody would sing the "Devil went down to Georgia'...it was the perfect song to cheer everyone up especially since one companionship could not get along...
