Ryan on his mission

My little brother Ryan studying hard in the Utah MTC:
Ryan has officially shipped out from the MTC in Utah to Washington D.C. He seems to be doing very well with the Spanish language and writes to my parents often in Spanish. He gained a whole 15 pounds in the MTC, which is great news! His Type 1 diabetes are under control and his only concern is with the constant bike riding he will be doing. With Type 1 you have to eat a snack if you are working out and constantly control your blood sugar. He reports back to his Doctor in AZ and even though there was a concern about everything when he first went into the MTC, he says that he will watch his blood sugar levels. We are excited for him and are always anxious to hear what is happening in the field.
