"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 Mom and Dad,
I have been having a good week this week and the temperatures here are beginning to drop. Its been in the 60's the past few days but I have been enjoying it so far. Not too much is new with investigators. We have mostly just been looking for people to teach but its a great learning experience. Thank you so much for the emails I'll probably start writing them next week since I don't have too much time this week. So transfers are coming up but I think I should stay in Warren but its still possible that I might leave, so you will find out pretty soon. Oh also I was wondering if you could buy a GPS for me and send it to me in a few weeks, just use my amazon gift card so your using my money and if you know that I'm in a set address just mail it there. So that blog is made up by one of our senior couples there names are Elder and Sister Smith. They take pictures and videos all the time but I don't know what all they put on the blog but I'm glad you found it I was going to tell you about it this week but now I don't have to. Bishop told me that Zach and Westyn are both working on there papers that is way cool I'm glad they are going, I cant wait to hear where they are going. Well this week has been good I have enjoyed my time with Elder Trammell, don't really know if we will be together another transfer or not but I guess we will see. I hope that everything back home is good, How is Eric doing, have you heard anything? I got a letter from Lisa this week its great to hear from the Pellegrini's and to hear how Matt is doing. Ill try to write them back as soon as possible but I have been doing pretty bad the past few weeks writing letters, I am always so tired when i get home (which is not a bad thing cause I know I'm working a lot then) but its hard to write people back too. Well also something that was way cool this week was Elder Nash who is in the quorum of the seventy came and spoke to us. He is over the missionary department. He was great he talked a lot about purpose and focusing on our key indicators more. He was a great guy and he taught a lot. I just hope I can remember everything, luckily I took notes. Also last night a guy who moved out of our ward called us and he lives in minersville or new harmony I don't really remember because I wasn't talking to him but it was cool that he moved down to southern Utah. Thank you for the pictures as well they are great to see. Well this week I'm going on an exchange so I'm actually in Ashtabula right now its right next to the lake, so there are a lot more clouds around here. But its only a day thing so I'll be back in Warren tomorrow. Ok well I think that is about it thanks for the email its always great to hear from home. Love you all.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
