"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

Hey Dad,

Good to hear from you and maybe one day you will find me! I am probably back at the old house haha just kidding. I am doing great here in Ohio and enjoying serving each day.  So I guess I will be ok with the move.  It will just be kind of a shock when I get home and we go to a different house. But I will get over it and it’s not like I’m not moving all the time already!
 I do remember that article and I really liked it because I was already in the middle at that time and I plan on keeping it that way! I love it out here and I try not to think how little time there is now. I am excited to continue to serve and enjoy it as much as I can. And the best way to do that is to keep a positive attitude!

 So now Cedar needs to get a temple really bad -- then everything will be great and wonderful haha! Or maybe a temple here in Ohio would be nice too. But that’s cool to see the Brigham City temple dedication!

 Ya, and I am pretty excited to see Dillon again when I get home! Hope he isn’t already married by that point, but I can see it happening.  haha. Well, thanks for the email and hope the family is doing great love you all,

Love,

Elder Ryan Furtney

 Hey mom,

Thanks for the pictures.  The new house looks great!  Well, I also hope that the moving will end soon -- that is not fun although that is pretty much my skill now for the amount of people I have moved!  Well, things are going great here but the area is very dead at the moment! But I really hope soon enough that it will be doing much better in the future! So being a trainer is pretty stressful but it’s not really as bad as I thought it would be! I really am enjoying it!  Well I don’t have much else to say but ALL IS WELL!  Everything is going great and I love you all! Thank you for all the support and prayers! Hope you have a great and wonderful week in Utah!

Love,

Hi Mom and Dad,

I am doing great here.  Sorry to say there is really nothing new in Ashland. My new companion is Elder Garner. He is from Fruitland, Idaho and yes it’s another one from Idaho! haha  They just keep coming to me haha. Training is going great. It’s not too bad cause Elder Garner has got  a lot down compared to what I had when I came out.

So that is so crazy to hear that Dillon is already back and gave his farewell talk. He is probably doing great and will be married in a matter of months because he is going to BYU Idaho haha. Oh well, it’s good to hear about Dillon. So, ya, I got an email from Dad about Eric’s new girl... Should be interesting! Yes, I would think that Cedar has been wearing on him for a long time! haha 

That is crazy that school has already started... Wow! Well I hope Jesse does well this year and enjoys it as much as he can!

Well, love you all and hope that you have a great week! And thank you for all the updates about the family.

Love,

Hey Beloved Parents and Familia,

 I am doing great so far and surprised to hear the news of moving! Pretty much a shock to the system for me over here! haha   Well as long as it’s not a new ward, I am cool!  So I know exactly what house that is by the way; I looked it up on Google maps :)! I like it but it will still be weird and I may be like Alyssa for a while on this one and not want to change haha!

It’s good to hear about all the guys working and getting ready to serve.  I am super excited to hear where Jordan goes!  So, I don’t start training the new missionary until Wednesday and then the fun begins, but I am very excited for this and it’s going to teach me a lot. Well, the baptism went great last week and we were both very excited about it.

Well, tell Arlee happy birthday for me and tell Eric hello from Ohio from me!  I will try to send pictures next week.  I forgot to grab my camera today.  Love you all and have a great week!

Love,

Elder Furtney

Hey, sorry I don’t have tons of time to email and I’ll try to do it maybe on Wednesday, but some quick news... I got called to train a new missionary so that is why I am in a hurry.  Other than that, everything is great!  LOVE you all and I’ll write more sometime this week!

LOVE,

Elder Furtney
