"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 31st

Hey Mom and Dad,
I am doing so great here in cold Ohio haha. The temperatures have dropped a lot but no snow just a lot of frost which is not fun when you tract. Yep so Elder Trammell got transferred but he is still really close to where I am.  He is in Tallmage, Ohio. He is a zone leader. I will probably see him a lot more before he leaves so it's all good haha. So my new companion's name is Elder Stone, he is from Spanish Fork, Utah and has been on his mission for about 16 months. He was serving in Perryburg, Ohio which is by Toledo its just right outside of that city. He is a great missionary and he knows what he is doing so I have been learning a lot still. So I will look for the thermals.  I hope they work because it is getting cold here. I heard about some storm over in the far eastern states but all we got was a little bit of freezing cold rain nothing to exciting but it kills my knuckles when I knock on a door - it's so cold. That's so cool to hear that Sheen is about to leave. He is going to love it on his mission, it's so amazing. That's cool that you are getting everybody indexing out there. All we focus on around here is missionary work and bringing back less active members... Which is not bad at all.  I cannot complain because it helps us out a lot. So this week Elder Stone and I talked in sacrament meeting and I am just going to say it's hard to prepare a talk without using the internet.. but of course i didn't even follow my notes and just let the spirit talk for me. It worked pretty well, but I was a little nervous. Actually I am not the senior companion because Elder Stone is the district leader so he is senior but that is okay with me haha. Maybe some other time I will get there but for now junior is just fine haha. Well it was a great week.  We had tons of stuff to do and we have even more for next week so I'll be very tired which is good because I love a great nights rest haha. Well is there anything new going on with the family? Anything happening over there in that distant land of what we call Utah? Well I love you all and I will talk to you in a week.
Love your Son!!
Elder Ryan Furtney
