"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

October 25

Hi Mom and Dad,
Its great to hear from you and that is so cool you were down in California with grandma, i bet she enjoyed it a lot. Its good to hear that she is doing so well and and i hope that she knows that i am doing great out here. Also its good to hear about Gordon, Kathy, Julie and Scott,  I hope they are doing good. I bet you enjoyed the trip.  How long were you down there for? Oh and one of the members told me about the troops leaving.  I was wondering if Eric was going to be home or not. Hopefully he is.  I bet mom would love to have one her sons back with her haha especially for the holidays. Well i hope he is able to come back.  That would be great and a lot less worrying about him. I am glad you like the pictures, there will be more coming soon.  We will be taking a lot today because it's Elder Trammell's last day in Warren and then he will be gone and i will have a new companion. This was a great week so far we were able to have some pretty great lessons with our investigators that we want to set baptismal dates with and we were able to find their concerns about what we were teaching. The only bad part about the week is we can't get Skylar and Tyler to get to church and so we are thinking about taking a break with them.  We will find out this up coming week. Actually this week i was able to learn a lot about asking questions and listening to find concerns as i already explained but i learned so much from elder trammell and it's sad to see him leave.   I am excited for my new companion. I hope he is able to teach me a lot as well. I will let you know what happens next week and who my companion is.
Dad,
I am glad you are getting the elders over to your good tan friend and trying to teach him. i hope all goes well. I hope you enjoyed your trip down to California before the winter comes haha. Its going to be interesting over here its starting to cool down a lot but the trees over here are way cool during the fall. But the snow will probably be here anytime soon I guess i will see. I have enjoyed my mission so far and I want to keep it that way, nothing from back home is going to distract me I promise. Well I hope you have a wonderful week and i love you all.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
