Ryan's Letter

Subject: When I wish upon a star...

Yipee! I am now in Roseville! Last Tuesday I was transfered and I had to travel all of ten minutes to get to my new apartment. But the change and the fresh start has put me on a great sprirtual high. There is something really special about the missionaries in my district. I have felt the spirit more in the past week than any other week in my life. There is such a great spirit of love and unity, and we are all really young missionaries.
I don't really have a lot to say. We started working with an inactive member who hasn't been to church in years. We taught twice this week and cleaned his apartment twice as well and he came to church. The thing that really helped to chang3e his mind was the member we chose as his fellowshipper. Brother Faupula invited him to church, checked up on him daily, made sure he had a ride, then he put the icing on the cake by helping him out all through church. Members can do so much more then we can. It was great to see it in action.
Well I love you all and hope you are all doing well. Thanks for everything.
Oh and I got my first letter from Jennifer this week. Wahoooo!
Love ya
Elder Ryan Jay Allred (Still Green)
