"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

February 20, 2013



Dear Mom and Dad,
 It’s good to hear from Dad but... I never got an email from Mom; oh well, I still love her! :). It’s been a great week although it was bone chilling all week. I decided that I hate wind with a passion. Dad, I can say that I love to hear when converts are doing well. It’s always great news to know that they are still living the gospel and it actually helped them in their lives. I definitely can say that I focus way too much on the present and I have been trying to keep an eternal aspect in mind at all times. Well, yes, from what I have heard, it sounds like winter has been much worse there than here. We have only really been cold in February and it’s not those kinds of temperatures.  haha. But it is always good to know that you are safe. Hopefully your work continues sending you down to Vegas.
 So Uncle Grover wants me to come up there to BYU Idaho... hmmm I don’t know; I would have to think and ponder on that for a while. I have thought about that before for a major but still I’m trying to decide. I’m mostly trying to focus still so I don’t have tons of time to think about it but I will when I’m home.
Oh so my new release date is July 11th as far as I know so I would be flying home on the 12th. But if anything changes I will let you know.  I love you all and we are doing great here in Amherst.
Love,
Elder Ryan Furtney
