The Week of Normal - 11/18/13

So Normal generally means really good for me. Things have been level overall. My companion was a little sick this week but we still managed to have a productive week and make things happen. :) Our super investigator is still SUPER(!!!), and progressing really well. She really has a desire to follow Jesus Christ, she understands the doctrine and is developing an awesome testimony. This is what missionaries live for!
 
There are lots of great things going on here in the Melbourne Mission. The weather is heating up, there are a lot of exciting developments, and the mission is working to reach our end of the year goal of each companionship baptising one in the last quarter as a personal Christmas gift to the Savior. With faith and action, we will acheive it.
 
Best of luck to you all!
 
I love you!

Another Day, Another Destiny - 11/25/13

So, this week has been a good one. The weather (while crummy this week) is going to get HOT by Wednesday. I'm mostly over a cold that I managed to get from my companion (side note: I know it's good to share, but sometimes I wish people wouldn't). Our awesome investigator came to church this week. We even got permission to go into the city to show her the International branch there. It was great to get to visit the ward where I served and know everyone. I'm likely to return there in the future as well.    A tender mercy of attending the branch this past Sunday, was that, while at the branch I had an investigator that said they wanted to join our choir. At the time, no one had even thought about a branch choir, but I didn't want to tell him we didn't have one, so I got to work talking to the branch music leader. She didn't really want to, and thought that too many people would join, but I insisted. I encouraged her nearly every week. My last week in the b

I think I may have forgotten to write for a while... - 2/10/14

So, working in the mission office for the last few weeks has been an interesting experience. I've been able to use the skills that I've acquired from my previous work experience, and help out the mission in different ways. It's very interesting to see how the work in the mission field is affected by the decisions and things that happen through the mission office. When things run well in the mission office, things in the mission field are a lot more smooth in terms of operations. I have a lot of respect for all of the missionaries that serve in the mission offices worldwide, they do so much to make sure that we as missionaries have a pleasant mission experience. There is a lot of work that goes into flats, cars, supplies, transfers, zone conferences, visas, etc. I have a new respect. Much Love, Elder Ryan
