Texas Talkers

 Hey yall! We had a pretty solid week.

    I went on an exchange and I got to go to the YSA area on Texas Tech. It was a blast. We did some contacting on campus and it's so fun. There are people literally everywhere we probably talked to hundreds of people in under an hour. We gave out 15 plus copies of the Book of mormon, it was a blast.

    We taught Evalynn, and went over the baptismal interview questions with her. She's so excited to be baptized! 

    We taught a lot of member lessons this week and it's going really well. They're starting to get real excited about missionary work and they're talking to their friends and inviting them to church. Only problem is all of our members are Texas Talkers and never shut their mouths so its a treat to try and get in and out quick.

    We had a really cool lesson with some of our friends who struggle with The Word of Wisdom. They want to convert but just can't get over their addictions. It's a long process, but they're SO willing to go down it. Pray for Dakota and Red!

    This week has been difficult, because with whitewashing we don't know anyone. Also this area hasn't been taken care of so we feel as if we're restarting. But it's okay because we know the Lord is helping us. My goal is to "apply the Atonement" in every part of my life as a missionary and it's blessed me so much. Every contact I make, every conversation and every lesson, even all my thoughts I'm trying to center them on The Atonement. It's been amazing to see the spiritual change this past week. I challenge yall to do the same!

Love, Elder Ryan
