"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 doing so great and I really enjoy this area. The weather has been pretty good this week; it’s warm during the day but drops a lot at night. The lake makes it a little more cold but not too much. The good part is that we are not in the snow belt so we won’t get hit so hard once it starts snowing. So Lorain and Amherst are pretty big cities and so it’s cool to have a lot of people to talk to. We teach a little and we are still trying to find new people to teach, but it has been fun. My new companion is great he is a pretty funny guy. He is not a Spanish missionary though but most Hispanics around here speak English very well. I think we have some next transfer though. The change in missionary age is definitely changing things in our mission. We are having more areas start to appear now.  So my new address is 1310 A Shaffer Dr. Lorain, OH 44053.
So we are pretty excited for Thanksgiving; it should be a good one. We will be going to a member’s house. Members have already been feeding us Thanksgiving dinners and, wow, I think I am gaining a ton of weight. Just kidding I have been working out every morning and night... I know it’s surprising, but, yes, it is happening haha. Oh if you can ask Jordan what his email is that would be great.  He should have it already.
 Yes, we have been just focusing on the holidays here in our mission as we tract. There is this cool event in Kirtland where they bring nativities from all over the world and display them in the visitors center. So I will get you some pictures because I am sure you will want some! We are going up to it next Tuesday so it might not be for a few weeks tell I get you those pictures. 
Well thank you for all your support and love! I love you all and hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Well love you all! 
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
