"Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion, that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish. Behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, thou art not called to go into the eastern countries, but thou art called to go to the Ohio. And inasmuch as my people shall assemble themselves at the Ohio, I have kept in store a blessing such as is not known among the children of men, and it shall be poured forth upon their heads. And from thence men shall go forth into all nations. Wherefore, go forth, crying with a loud voice saying: The kingdom of heavn is at hand: crying: Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God. Go forth baptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my coming." --Doctrine and Covenants 39: 13-15, 19-20

Hi from MTC

This was Ryan's first email to us after he left. If you would like to write Ryan, just leave a comment below and your address if you want.
 
Hey mom this is my email for my mission if you didnt know. I'm having a great time and its easier to send letters while im in the MTC because I only have wednesdays to write email. I am having a great time here and loving every day that I have been out here. It was pretty weird at first but I am starting to get used to it. We have class everyday and learn a lot in it. I hope everyone is doing great I miss you all but im doing great. How has everyone one been doing? I wish I could hold that fat baby again but too bad he will probably be skinny soon. Have you heard anything from Eric? How is he doing? I'm loving being out here and I love being able to feel the spirit everyday, its the best feeling in the whole world. I have enjoyed everything so far except our first couple of days we just studyed all day so it was kinda boring the whole time. But now we have investigators so we are planning lessons every day and we always have something to do which is nice cause it gives me little time to think about everyone back at home. I felt like I have learned so much and it has only been one week. I dont really know what to write but I'll write more next week thats for sure. I just need some more white church shrits, the short sleeve ones if its possible. And if you can tell president Rau that he helped me so much with everything the past year and perpared me so much for this. I have been able to use most everything that he taught me in his classes in teaching investigators. Also I can only send emails to family but everyone else can send me emails I just cant respond to them. Also I need some address for people I only have the house. I forgot to get everyone elses so if you could send those some how that would be great. I hope you all have a great week and hopefully your not missing me to much ha. Love you all and miss you all. I dont want to come back and see all the little kids grown up so just tell Asa and Carmen and Nate and Owen to stay the same if its possible. Love you mom and dad and thank you for all the support.
 
-Love Ryan
