"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,
I am still doing great in Ashland and always trying to keep my head up.  Ashland is not the most exploding area in the mission, that is for sure, but it’s a great ward and there is always some success; even if I don’t see it.  I know that there will be much success in this area very soon; we will just have to be patient. So it sounds like both of you had a great week up in the Salt Lake area. I have heard a ton about the new City Creek Mall and I am in Ohio.  It’s pretty funny. Of course Dad liked the free breakfast that sounds just like him. haha.  I am jealous though that you get to see those amazing temples out there. I am just dying to get into one again but I will survive for a little longer. We, unfortunately, will not see anything about the Brigham City temple dedication. We are a little too far out of the reach to be able to watch that.  I do remember the Oquirrah Mt. temple open house.  That was an amazing tour and I also remember going to Nauvoo open house as well and that was even farther back.  haha.  Sounds like you had a great week.  So I decided to send some random pictures. The first is Deb Bryant’s baptism that we had on August 11th and then the second is me and Elder Hapairai and then the last is a picture of Elder Garner. Hope you enjoy them! Well great to hear from you and hope you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
