Update on Ryan

Well Ryan is still currently in Burlington KY... He is loving mission life, here is Ryan's most recent email:


Hey, another month down, i cant believe it i am on the down hill side it is wierd how fast it is going by. Yesterday was General Conference it was very very good! Elder Holland gave the best talk i have ever heard. Anywho, we have been doing good as a mission we have had about one baptism a month. Each of our goal as a companionship is to have one baptism a month. So we have been working hard, trying for 20 lessons a week keeps you busy thats for sure. We are still working with April and Jamie, April has cancer so it has been hard to get a good meeting with them because they have been out and about a lot trying to keep her mind off of smoking. On the way home from Zone conference we saw a car on the side of the road and two people who looked like they had no idea what they were doing, so I rolled down the window and asked if we could help, surprisingly they said we could. So we pulled off to the side around the corner and another guy had blew out his tire and he had a tone of tools to fix that, so we asked if when he was done he would come and help. Well we went and helped and it was a good thing that we asked the other guy because our tools wouldn’t fit the bolts and he had it, anyways we helped then we started talking about the book of Mormon and The lady wanted to learn about it and said we could come over, sadly they didn’t live in our area, so we just let them go…. KIDDING we sent the referral on to the Lakeside park elders, well after they were leaving 2 cars pulled up behind us and had just got in an accident on the freeway… long story short we got to talking and one of them was a less active member from Missouri or Wisconsin and the other had some Mormon friends he was from Chicago. i pray for you all the time! We are on the Lords Errand we are entitled to the Lords Help!
