Ryan will be leaving the MTC on Monday to head to the Philippines. I have a ton of emotions as this day gets closer but most of all I am at peace and excited to hear of his many experiences while he is there. He is nervous and excited as well.
As we have received emails and letters this week he is doing very well. He has gained 25 pounds while in the MTC. He is learning the language even though it is a struggle, he is staying very positive with it all. He has told us to watch a Mormon message called Mountains to Climb, it is an amazing video and if you get the opportunity to sit down and watch it what a wonderful message of faith.
As we dropped Stephen off at the MTC yesterday we were able to see Ryan as well, he was able to host Stephen, what an emotional experience that was.
I will keep you updated as I hear more.
