So here is the latest and greatest from Ryan! He seems to be doing great! We don't really get to hear a lot of stories so there aren't many to share. Just a weekly update on the fact that he is doing great! He told us in the last email that he wasn't going to be sharing stories anymore. That we could just read about them in his journal. He is over half way through his current journal so we are expecting it in the mail sometime soon. Once we get it we'll share as many stories as possible!
"Thanks for the pictures, birthday cupcakes, and La Jara t-shirt. I didn't even know that they made those. I can't believe everything that is happening out here and at home. I love pictures and letters and packages. They are just so great. Lately I have really been feeling at home here in New York, but it still cannot compare to the SLV. I was walking down the street the other day and I said, 'Wow, that was strange. I just felt like I was walking down the street in Alamosa.' I really did. I felt like I was that close to home. Many times I do."
We aren't sure what he is looking at here. But we can tell you that it's in New York! :)
"...we went to the temple this morning. It was awesome and really cool. It just comes out of the ground in the middle of the city. It was really strange, we come out of the subway, oh yeah, I rode the subway for the first time today too, into Lincoln Center, right next to the temple, and walking out just felt right. It is kinda hard to explain. Something seemed right. Right is the only word I can think of. It was a pretty cool feeling."
Another picture that we wish we could explain...
"I got my new companion today. Elder Hardy. I hope I can grow to love him as much as I love Elder Harbertson."
