It Came!


Hey!
Whats happenin? Oh my goodness I am so glad that you got the Great Harvest job! I hope you enjoy it! So your co worker wrote Elder Clyde and I was so excited to see that you got someone to write Elder Clyde that I read it before he did! LOL. Well I pretty much think that you should have punched that Russian crapola of a teacher in the face! It's a good thing I wasn't there or when she asked you that I would have asked her if she knew how to speak English! :) So I decided that Conner and Brynlee are my new favorite niece and nephew! Woohoo! I loved those pictures though! Sorry I didn't send you any pics last week and that I sent it late and that I am sending this late again! I wanted to wait to respond to a letter but next time I will just write on Monday so it gets out on Tuesday so you can start to enjoy Thursday once again! :) I love you! I am so glad that you went to my family party! I can't wait to see the look on Cam's face when we are both there at my grandma's and he comes walking in late :) It will be great! So I would pretty much love a picture of your primary class but just make sure that you are in it! Well you don't have to worry about me keeping the stuff that you send me...OF COURSE I will keep all of that stuff! How could I not? You are too special for me to throw that stuff away. So we are moving out of here soon into what we call the mansion! :) It is a duplex and we will have everything we ever wanted now! I will send you pics once we move in but don't worry just send mail to the same address until I give you a new one we will be like 30 seconds away from where we live now so the members we are with now will make sure that I get my mail :) No worries! Well I hope your work it going great! Mine is going pretty good! Last Saturday we found 5 new investigators, but they are 5 different families so it could turn into 10-12 new investigators once we start teaching the whole family...So we are going to be pretty dang busy this week! So thank you for all of your prayers it really helps! Next time you write I want you to tell me something that you have learned in your scripture study and then I will do the same! If it is fun then we can continue! Well I love you so much and I am glad that you are staying happy and active and not just sitting around being mopey! Have fun at work and send me pumpkin chocolate chip bread! :) We will do this! Take care! I love you!

Love,
Elder Ryan John

P.s. There was a baptism that I forgot to tell you about and I forgot my camera so I had Caitlin Brennan draw her for me...I never got her name...she is pretty dang cute though! I think she even likes me! So you better watch out! LOL I love you!

!!!!!!!

hey how are you guys doing?!?! I'm glad that you had fun on your little trip and i hope dad likes his new golf clubs! we just got done golfing :D ya i sucked pretty bad but so do the clubs i was using :D well this week was way fun and holy cow i did my fair share of tracting this week... but you know if you hold out strong the lord always blesses you! i got sent on exchanges to an area where well nothing is going on really and so for 4 good hours of the day we tracted and we got 1 return appt and i don't even think they got back to them yet... but! on Saturday we had some elders come up to our area and we kinda did a blitz and we not only got some return appts but we got 5 new investigators! so pray for them to be home!!!!!! we will hopefully be teaching a lot this week! and so hopefully that means quite a few baptisms in august! so transfers again are August 26Th i believe.. somewhere around there give or take a few days... but anyways we are moving out of our members house sometime this month... because this other lady in our ward has an EMPTY duplex that she is willing to let us move into! YAY! its sweet it has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a kitchen and even a garage!!!! :D i know those darn spoiled stateside missionaries!!! lol but ya so hopefully sometime this month we will be moving into it! and by this month i mean august... but ya so zone conference is on Friday! and holy cow it seems like we were just at zone conference... but time is just flying by for me! i hope it is for you guys too! it seems like just yesterday that we were at the Belgian waffle on our way to the mtc :D but its crazy i wonder who my next comp is going to be.... Elder Clyde's guess is someone who is a slacker but has potential and i will have to light a fire under their butt.... which is fine with me.. i can do that :D well mom i hope you had a wonderful birthday! that made me laugh so hard thinking of you and dad just jumping into bed and him starting to laugh because he is thinking about you hunched over with grey hair!! lol that is way funny! I'm sorry mom that we all hammered ya on being old but.... you know... 64 is getting up there.. :D lol i love ya mom! hmm well i hate emailing at these computers cause i have such a short time that i cant think of everything that happened to me this week! OHHH! we were walking to our car one night and we saw 2 of our recent converts and so we went and were talking to them on the side of the road and this guy pulls up in this SUV and yells at us hey! and so we walked over to his car and ok he has his 10-12 year old daughter in the passenger seat and he has her window down and he is yelling at us right... she was scared to death and it was kinda sad but anyways he goes. so whats 144,000 and we are like a number? lol no but like what do you want to know about it? and so anyways he wouldn't tell us his views on things and so we kept giving him short simple answers and he hated it. he was like you guys are out teaching the word and you don't even know the word!!! and we are like ok well we are out you know teaching what Christ taught.. and he is like what is that?!! and we are like faith.. repentance.. Baptism.. the gift of the holy ghost.. and enduring to the end.. ya we believe in the 144,000 that they do have a role but we don't teach eat and so elder Clyde got mad for once and it was so funny! lol and this guy just wanted to have a deep discussion but he doesn't even know the basics.. elder Clyde started o ff being nice and calling him sir and stuff but by the end he was calling him buddy! and i was laughing and the guy got mad at me because i was laughing at him and so Clyde was teaching him about milk before meat.. Christ didn't have his apostles go teach about deep stuff you know.. start with the basics.. and I'm like yep but Christ taught to pull over and harass people didn't he?.. cause this guy was bashing our work and so he gets this deeray look on his face and sits there for a minute and goes wwwwwell enjoy your milk! and floors in and almost gets in a wreck cause he didn't even look if cars were coming... lol!!!! it was so funny but elder Clyde was mad for like 2 days!! lol :D i mean his daughter and our rc's didn't need to see that but if they hadn't of been there we (elder Clyde) would have slammed him pretty hard.. it was a joke.. but anyways lol i thought that was pretty funny. well i love you guys so much! take care of yourselves! and keep reading your scrips! Love/ Elder Ryan John
