Ryan's letter

Subject: yes Yes YES!!

Sweet! Guess what!?! Ok I'll just tell you because it would take forever for you guys to guess. My new companion is from Idaho. They must want something to get done here in Roseville. Elder Hansen from Shelly Idaho is my new companion. He loves bikes so we are going to have a lot of fun.
We have had a great week and we are finally going to be able to increase our goals. Linda is doing great. I had the oppurtunity to give her a blessing and it was a great experiance. She has a lot of health issues and that is the only thing stopping her from coming to church every week. She still is having a hard time believing that God is an actual personage rather than just some organized force or power. She said she would pray about it but I don't know if she really cares yet. When we ask her about the Book of Mormon, she only says that she has no reason not to believe it. But she has agreed to meet with us daily so we can work with her and she is shooting for baptism.
All the families that were in the fire are relocated and doing great. We have a lot of work to do in this area, but I'm excited and Elder Hansen is excited so it will be great.
Anyway, I love you all, thanks for everything.

Elder Allred, the one that gets to stay on a mission longer than the other one. :)
