Hey Dad,
It’s great to hear from you and
thank you for all that you said, it really does help. I am trying to always
keep working hard and showing my love and desire to find gods children that he
has prepared. It sometimes is difficult but I should know that it’s not going to
easy all the time. Of course, because it wasn't easy for the Savior why should
it be easy for us? We have been having some success this past week and it seems
that one of our members may have found one of those Elect! We are teaching her
tonight and she seems so sincere and wants to know the truth. I am working
harder than ever and I hope that I can only improve on that! I don’t want to
stop serving the Lord because I love the joy I feel and I don’t want that to go
away! Thank You so much Dad for all you have done and are doing for me now. You
are a great example to me and I am so glad that you are always caring for all
your children. I love you dad!
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
P.S.- Didn’t know if mom was writing
or not so that’s why I only wrote to dad but if mom doesn't write then Love You
both and I am doing Great!
Also, Jesse, the best prep you
can do is study your scriptures, and Preach my Gospel (not only
the lessons though)! You should know that doctrine. Chapters 1, 4, and 10
are my favorites and I wish I had known these before I came out! (If you don’t
know all the doctrine in the lessons then go over it but don’t focus only on
that!) Chapter 4 is very important because you are teaching by the spirit! If
you don’t know how the spirit feels, it makes it a little more difficult.
This chapter will help a lot. And try to do the study helps! And don’t
expect to have everything down perfect because it is impossible; just know the
basics. Also, if you can, try going out
with the elders in the area; that helps a ton. I know it’s a ton, but a little
at a time is better than nothing... Love ya boy!
Hey Mom,
Things are great in Ashland
and we are going to be teaching someone tonight. She seems pretty solid about
joining so we are pretty excited. So the trees are changing which makes me sad
because that means the snow is coming and it seems way too quick! But I will
for sure take some pictures... this is my favorite time of the year in Ohio
because the colors really stand out in Ohio. It’s been getting a lot cooler
here. We are wearing coats now so it’s soon for us to get snow and I'm
expecting a lot of it this year. I can email the Lemons our new address. So
thank you for sending me the Lemons email.
So that’s pretty exciting for Jesse,
and always could tell he would be interested in army haha. Oh tell him if he is
planning on joining and then going on a mission they can take the money away
from him for school... It’s something they don’t tell everyone but the
deferment; they will take that money away! Or at least ask the recruiter about
it. Well thank you for the update on everyone and hope you all have a great
week! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
