Hi Mom and Dad,
I am doing wonderful and loving the somewhat warmer weather... it is
definitely spring here because there is a ton of rain and you can never
predict the weather. I am very excited for Carmen. I know that she
is excited for her baptism and I hope it is a great day for her. I wish i could be there
to see it. That is good that Jesse got a job... dishwashing isn't that
bad...it's just the same thing over and over again haha but i loved
that job and hope he does too.
Here in Ohio things are going great. We are still teaching and still
looking for new investigators.. Also, one cool thing that we did this
weekend was help our Elders Quorom President at his job. He is in
charge of all the LDS graineries in the eastern states and
Texas. There are about six in all. One of them is in our area so we went
down to kill the bugs in the silos. We were up about 135
feet on top of the silo and dropped thousands of little pellets into the
grain... now the interesting part is the pellets are a small form of what the Germans used to gas the Jews with so yes i was using a tool of
destruction on little insects. Haha. Oh, and the pellets, of course, were
made in Germany... Yep I laughed pretty hard. It was really fun and I got to learn a lot about the LDS Graineries. So we had a really cool week and now its starting to warm up, so now we are going to start biking. It's good to hear that Sheen is doing well and i
hope that he gets better soon so he can get back out into the field.
Well I am glad you are both back to the temple each week. It is a
great blessing to have and I miss it so much. It is one of the first
things I want to do when I get back home because it's hard not being
able to go at all here. Well I love you all and hope that you are
doing great. Have a great week in the great land of UTAH...
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
"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
