A Phone Call Home

Since today is Mother's Day, Ryan got a 40 minute phone call home. Here are some of the highlights:

Cody:
-"Cody what was the highlight of your phone conversation with Ryan" Lisa
-"it was like 2 seconds and everyone else wanted the phone...ugggghhhhh.....i don't know" Cody

Mom:
- Ryan bearing his testimony in Portuguese
- Hearing him say "I love you Mom"

Lisa:
- The Parrot Story: Ryan was holding a parrot at a members house and he was "looking at it quietly" and it bit him! I asked if he got hurt and he said "umm... yeah"
-Miguel or Nigel: The Portuguese word for Awesome!
-Noah's Ark :a game they play with the members after they eat lunch with them. They sing a song and the members write down referrals for them to contact then that afternoon they contact the names. He says the referrals are usually really good.

Laura:
- To hear him and know he's okay.

Aaron:
- Ryan telling him he saw a monkey.

Dad:
-Finally getting through to him
-Listening to Lisa talk to him (apparently I drilled him with a hundred questions!)
- Just hearing him.

Can't wait til Christmas!
