"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 Mom and Dad,
 Everything is going great here. We are doing great and getting by great as well. I am really enjoying the Ashland ward and even though the area is hard; I do love it here. We haven’t been up to the mission home for a while but we should be going up sometime in the next few weeks I believe. Elder Garner and I are doing great just trying to find some people to teach and both pretty much sick of tracting haha. So I do wear your ties all the time, I just haven’t been taking a ton of pictures until this week haha. I have to get one of them cleaned though because of an unfortunate event with some food and the tie haha. Ah, the temple dedication would have been amazing.   The Lemons wanted to be there so bad but they are still out. Oh hey, if you still have their email, it would be great if you could send them our new home address because when I was in Bryan I gave them the old address and haven’t been able to see them since.
 That is so cool that Danielle Wynn is going on a mission; that is some good news. Yes, I know it’s tough on moms but you are much stronger than us haha. I will keep taking pictures and trying to send them all the time just for you mom haha. I don’t have anything that I can think of that I need. Maybe if you could, I would like to know how much is actually left in my bank account (savings) just so I know. I feel like I am spending too much so if I know how much it would be nice. But other than that, I think I’m good.  I probably won’t ask for anything until around Christmas time and even then, it won’t be much haha. Love you all so much and have a great week and thank you for your support and testimonies!
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
P.S. - Yes we got to ride in an Amish buggy but not with Amish... That is not allowed :) haha. It was very exciting!
