Hello Dad,
It’s good to hear from you two
weeks in a row haha just kidding. I loved conference so much it was an amazing
and historical one. I can tell you now that we are very excited for the change
of age this will give us more missionaries in the coming months, and we need
them we have been closing down a lot of areas it seems like these past few
transfers. I was able to enjoy all sessions of conference and loved every
single one. I will have to admit that Elder Oaks's talk was one of my favorites
but, of course, Elder Holland’s was equal, if not right behind it. Sounds like
everyone had a blast shooting to bad I wasn’t able to attend but soon enough I
will haha.
Ha I could tell that would
scare a few of the 18 year olds; but it is inspiration and the need for more
missionaries is definitely there. I am really excited to hear how this goes in
the next few months; if we see some more going out. Thank you dad for your
words of encouragement and mentioning my spiritual gifts sometimes it doesn't
always feel that way but it’s good to hear from someone else. Thank you for all
you are doing. I would tell Jesse not to
worry about the change but pushing it off makes it so much harder to get out.
That time between high school and getting out here was the hardest part of my
life. This is more of a blessing than a burden I can tell you that. Well thanks
for the letter and love you so much.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
Hi Mom,
Things went pretty well last
week I would say! We now have a new investigator and she seems pretty solid to
be baptized so we are pretty excited. It’s a big lift for your morale when we
finally have someone to teach. haha. So her name is Deb Miller and she has basically
read through all of the Book of Mormon and half way through the Doctrine and Covenants.
She just soaks everything in and loves it. Also she just barely gave up smoking
and is planning on giving up coffee.
I can say that President Monson's
announcement is very exciting here in the mission. I can’t wait to have more
missionaries soon. We were told that we
would have an influx of missionaries soon so I guess this is what our Mission President
was talking about haha. I really loved Elder Oaks’s talk because we talk to a
lot of people about that. I don’t really like getting into a political
discussion but people bring that up so much. Also I did love Elder Holland’s talk
as well; it was very good. Well thanks for the update and also for the letter.
I was planning on asking for the voter registration form for a while now but I
kept forgetting. A lot of the missionaries vote in Ohio because they need the
votes here haha. It’s too late for me
to register here. Love you all so much and have a great week.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
