Hi Mom and Dad,
This weekend was amazing, elder Trammell and I were able to watch all of the sessions and it was so amazing. Watching Elder Holland's talk was amazing it was another testimony to me that this is where I need to be and it gives me a greater desire to go out and work. It was great to hear from the Prophet and it is always nice to be able to have a good laugh from him and be taught so much at the same time. There were so many talks that I loved and I don't think I have ever been so into a conference before in my life. I took a lot of notes so that is probably why haha. We were not able to have the baptism yesterday Skylar and Tyler need to make it to church more often but we were able to talk more to their mom and we gave her a Book of Mormon to start reading for herself. We hope that she will have a greater desire to listen to the lessons and want to be baptized. That's so great that you were able to see Eric on Skype, I have been thinking a lot about him and I miss him a lot. Hopefully i will be able to skype on Christmas i don't really know yet but it is very possible. I wish that we had warm weather here the past two days we have had coats on and it seems to be getting colder but i think it should warm up again by the end of the week. Yesterday i was surprised it didn't snow though it was very cold but it was raining all day too. I got the boots and thank you so much for them. I haven't tried them on yet but i will tonight and I hope they fit. Oh so i guess my coat i have probably wont be thick enough for the winter but i will wait and see i will just buy one here so you don't have to worry about that but I will probably need money in my account so i can buy it. We have dinner most of the time with members but really only three families feed us at least once a week and they are amazing. The members here are way funny, we have been working with one of the 17 year olds in the ward and we have had a lot of fun with him he would be a great missionary he just has a lot of doubts and doesn't feel like he needs to go. We are hoping he decides to go, but it is his choice. Well the flu shots just came out and actually like more then half of our mission has had the flu, The last two weeks like every missionary was sick but it didn't hit us so its great here. President Sorensen actually just sent us an email recommending us to go get a flu shot but it has to be paid with our own money. Well i have heard from Brock and Matt but not Dillon yet, i sent him an email but nothing yet. It was great to hear from Matt I guess he is doing really well in Brazil so that is good. Well I am expecting another great week and it should be very good and productive week this week as well. I love you all and pray for everyone all the time.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
