Ryan's Letter:

Subject: Only 235 days untill Christmas!! Yahoo!!


Well we had two great lessons with Justin this past week and he came to church again on sunday. We sent the Elders quorum President over to visit him in the morning, and we set an interview with the bishop for him after church. The ward loves him and they are working on furnishing his apartment right now. We are hoping to set a date with him tomorrow.
It has rained a lot lately and that really affects those of us on bikes. We often have to return to the apartment two or three times a day to change clothes. We had an appointment with a new member on friday night but we didn't want to get their couches all wet. So at about seven we went home so we could put on dry clothes and hopefull not be as wet when we got there. Well our plan failed and we were drenched when we got there, so we decided to cancel. But when we knocked on the door to tell them they were too excited to see us to let us leave. So we stayed and taught them and luckily they had towels so I don't think we got anything else wet. But the ride home was crazy. She told us to make hot chocolate when we got home but we were too tired, so we made a cake instead.
I got the letters from the Smallcomb family and they were great. The news that really made me excited was that Aunt Teresa is a ward missionary! I think that is the best calling that you could have. I know we keep our ward missionaries busy with all they do and they really enjoy it. It seems that those who apply themselves more have the most fun. Congrats! Then of course Ty is going over and beyond with Rugby. I think I would get broken if I tried that.
Hey how is Jordan doing out on the mish? And David with the post-missin life?
I love you all!
