The latest from Ryan John

So I hear that James told Clyde that if he got close to you he would break his face! LOL that is awesome. I think James being in one of your college classes is an even better idea now!

Well, I have bad news... we had interviews with our pres this week and I asked him if your parents could take me out to dinner and he said no. The reason is because it can be hard on your companion and it could make him want to see his friends or family. But I look at it like this....in a couple years I will be eating dinner with your parents all the time! :) The only difference will be I won't be dressed up!

So I had kind of a cool experience last night. We got this referral for this lady who lives way out in the boonies ( which our area does have we just hardly ever make it out there). I called her to see if we could set up a time to go out there are she asked me a few questions and it lead into the restoration over the phone. She said she had to go and that we could come out sometime...and so I tried to get an exact time to come back, but she was like October is really busy for me and my husband is gone and so lets shoot for the second week in November! Lol. I hope I'm still here! But we got talking after that and she asked me if I knew this Christian speaker guy and I said no, but anyways he does this talk about marriage that she really likes. I said well I'll have to listen to that before I get married, and she said you're not married? I said no I'm only 20, and she said oh wow you don't sound 20! I said yeah I'm just getting over a cold, I don't usually sound this manly! :) She thought that was pretty funny.

Sorry no pics again I have some good ones to send, I just haven't had time! Oh, and yes we still go see Willis all the time. He is the funniest guy ever!

P.S. I will let you know in my parents e-mail on Monday if I am moving or not!

A Chapter a Day Keeps Temptation Away!

Hey mom and dad whats happenin?!?! I hope everything is going well! This week was pretty good! We were a little down in numbers but those weeks happen and so we are trying our best still and hopefully we can bump our numbers back up! So you met elder Clyde eh?! That's cool that he got you guys flowers! I gave him some money before he left and told him to buy some flowers from me :D So I'm glad he did! he is a cool kid.. lol He kinda flaked out on me while he was here but hrrrp oh well I don't care lol.

Well lets see we had our interviews with pres and everything went well. I was the last one to go and he was going to be late for a dentist appt so he was like, "Elder Penman how are you doing?" I said good and he goes did you have anything you wanted to talk to me about and I had two questions for him so I asked them. He answered them and then said well keep up the good work... and that was it. lol! Like 3 minutes and he hasn't even checked my planner the last two times. I think he must trust me or something cause he checks everyone's planner. But ya this week wasn't too exciting... I kinda have mixed feelings about this coming week. I am way super excited about conference but I want to know if I am staying or leaving... I think I am staying so ima work my butt off still this week. But.. I dunno. I guess I just want to know if I'm going or not! :D

But anyways I'm glad you guys always have a good time with Shannon! Keep her around would ya! She is way too freaking hot to let go! :D LOL!! No but she is my best friend! I just love her! So keep hanging out with her cause I'm pretty sure she will be around for a while.

Wow I am really sorry to hear about mike... That's too bad really! It makes my heart go out to his family for having such a strong testimony in the gospel! Tell them that I love them! And give them all a hug from me! Seriously that sucks to hear! Let me know how they are doing. I don't know how people can get so much thrown onto their plate and deal with it so well... That family is just amazing! Holy cow. Isn't it amazing to see how powerful the gospel is and how true it really is!?

Well I'm pretty sure I already told you guys when transfers were but I will tell you again. The 7th is the actual transfer and the 4th we get our calls... so the 6th I will be telling you if I'm staying or leaving. Oh and mom I do want boots for Christmas but I haven't found any here so maybe go check that place out. See if they got any good ones that will polish up nicely that pretty much look like church shoes but they are boots. Meh I know you will do just fine. :D You always do! Well geez I hope you guys are ok! Tell everyone that I love them and that the church is true! There is just no other way. Simply no other way. Keep reading your scrips!!! A chapter a day keeps temptation away!!! :D Well I love you guys so much! Have a good week! Go BYU! go 49ers! LOVE YA!!
