"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

January 9, 2012

Hi Mom and Dad,
I have been doing very good this past week; i can't really complain at all. It has gotten really warm here this week and its supposed to be in the 50's most of the week. It's weird not having snow on the ground in January. That's great that Matt got a Brazilian companion.  I just sent him an email and he seems to be doing great. Both of us are pretty surprised that our six month marks are already here; time has been flying by haha. That is great that Westyn is opening a dead area.  That's one of the best things because you don't know anyone in the area so you get a lot of work to do haha. 
Elder Davies and I are getting along great.  No, we are not tracting too much anymore.  We are really just working with the ward now. Service in the snow means shoveling ha that is it and the snow here is heavy haha. Oh and the G's can wait until after transfers.  I should be fine.   Could you send a couple of my jerseys like the Rsl one and the Arsenal one as well.  Then I won't be tempted to buy more shirts out here.  I want to save my money... We only need the blank shirts in the MTC --out here its fine to have jerseys.. plus we only wear them when we are in our house and on P day. We actually go to Kirtland and have a little meeting and then we go to our new areas.
Don't worry mom, I have a pretty positive attitude most of the time, unless it is raining then maybe not haha. No sadly Elder Davies is not a soccer fan, he is from Idaho all they do is potato farming haha -- just kidding, that was mostly just for dad.  He is a great companion though he wasn't way into sports in high school.  He is more musically inclined. This is why I was singing in the choir haha. I miss my football.. but oh well i love it here too, and its more rewarding here anyways. Well I love you all and I'll tell you next week if I am getting transferred.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
