Ryan Workman!

All I can say is, sometimes people have to have changes of heart before they can glimpse the true goodness of someone else's heart, and I was one of those people with Ryan Workman. Nevertheless, here are 10 great things about Ryan, a person who I now truly appreciate as a pure soul with nothing but good intentions.

1. He is a very happy person, inclined to laughter, always smiling, and very socially amiable. He likes to joke and never gets too serious, which makes for a fun time.

2. He is athletic. Man, that boy can play sports! All kinds! I think he might specialize in baseball, but whatever it is, he's good at it!

3. I do believe he's rather smart. I don't know GPA wise or what not, but he has his wits about him and is at least a good problem solver.

4. He is uber friendly. Everyone he met, he was always the first to introduce himself and make sure the person felt comfortable in the conversation, regardless of whether he was the new one or not.

5. In the end, I would classify him as humble. I will sheepishly admit that I gave him a rough time at the beginning of our friendship, and he humbly sumbitted to just trying to be good and please me even though, what? my desires or opinions didn't even matter! Man, looking back at that, I am kicking myself for the pride I exhibited, but honored to have known someone with such submissiveness.

6. He likes a good adventure. Be it camping or trafalga or the movies, he's there and he makes it fun for everyone.

7. He has a good strong testimony of the gospel. Right now he's serving a mission in Taiwan and I know he will be just great not only becuase it's in his blood but becuase he just knows that the gospel is true and it's something he has to do.

8. He defines selfless service. One time we were going camping and we were just a bunch of clueless, suppliless college hooligans and he drove all the way to his grandpa's hosue to get us a couple of tents. After all that work, we didn't even end up going, but he was so kind about it. Also, he let us use his car to go watch Rach sing in a concert even though he wasn't even going. Also, he gave us and a lot of our other friends free tickets to Trafalga even though we had not always treated him the best. He just was always willing to serve others. it was pure.

9. He is charismatic. No matter who he meets, they generally like him right away becuase he is just friendly and happy.

10. Ryan has a pure heart with nothing but good intentions. Like I said, I may have misjudged that from the start, but it is nothing but true and he really is just a good boy.
