Temple Week in our Branch

Sounds like you had a great Stake Conference Mom!  Thank you for the quotes on Hastening the Work.  I love them.  We have been extending the commitment to the members here to pray for missionary experiences and have had a few really good reports already.  It is awesome!  I love how well prayer works!  Ask and ye will receive!  

And I am so happy to hear about Brother Hall in the Stake Presidency -- That's my Pa!!!  [his Pa from the Trek was put in our Stake Presidency today]  Please tell him congratulations for me.  "Many are called, but few are chosen" -- He is truly one of the chosen ones.  I love him.

Here are a few highlights of my week -- 

Monday, we spent in Masterton and I got to see Sister Rose!  Do you remember her?  I was in the MTC with her.  She is doing great and we got to catch up on things which was the highlight of my week.  It was like seeing a long lost friend, even though we only knew each other for 3 weeks in the MTC.  Tuesday, was the usual, but we found an awesome investigator, however she is a single sister, so we have to hand her over to the Sisters!  There are so many single sisters that love the gospel!  I want to know where to find the down to earth men!!!!  We had a great district meeting on Tuesday.  Saturday, we went to Martinborough and they were having a brew day fair.  Who knew there were so many beer fans!  We were getting nothing done there because everyone was drunk!  

Sunday was the greatest day of the week because everyone bore their testimony on the temple because it was the temple week.  So -- that made be very jealous!  I miss the temple so much now.

Well -- I am getting kicked off the computer -- AGAIN!  This will be all for today!

Love, 

Your son Ryan!

p.s. I am so glad that Tyler got to leave for Mexico, and I am happy Olivia is on her mission now!
