October 12, 2009 - hola todos


hey everyone,
so alot has happened this week so i´m just going to jump right into it. first mom, be sure to tell erica roth thanks for the dearelder. i understood everything. tell her that the choripan is ricisimo haha.
so elder garcia and i have found about 4 people this week that we would have been able to set baptismal dates with. seriously they were all pure oro haha. but i found out saturday night that i was leaving bosques. i´ve got to tell you all that i´m really surprised. i know that i told you all that i thought i would leave, but as it got closer i really felt that i would be in bosques for a while. i bore my testimony on sunday during sacrament, and ended up telling everyone that i was leaving then. the members were seriously so nice to me. one of the members from the ward went home after church and made me this huugggeee cake. she brought it to a meeting that we had later. another person brought a bunch of facturas, which are like doughnuts (i don´t remember how to spell that anymore hahah). it was so awesome of them. but my new area is in la plata...the area itself is called alto san lorenzo. what i´ve seen of it is that its just outside the actual city of la plata. it seems way way nicer than bosques (which doesn´t take a lot haha). i´ve also got a new companion. his name is elder arraya. i actually new him from last transfer because he was in our zone in florencia varela. he´s got about 17 months in the mission and he´s from chile. he talks fast but i still understand a bunch. from everything that people have told me, lets just say that he´s about the opposite of elder garcia. i think that this is going to be a good transfer. Our pension isn´t as big as the one we had in bosques but its pretty sweet. i think the bathroom is nicer (once again, it wasn´t that hard to beat hahah). we´ll see how it goes coming from bosques, where we had 9 baptismal dates with people and alot more to come, to this area. i´m not sure if we have any baptismal dates with anyone right now, but thats going to change soon...
also, i sent keeley a letter and put the memory card in there. i asked her if she would send it to the family. i´m guessing that she will get that in the next week or so and she can just send it to all of you from there.
one cool thing that happened this week is that i found someone who knows cameron vongsawad. his name is elder flake. he´s from tucson, arizona. he was in my zone in varela, so i talked to him and found out that cameron´s first area in arizona was in elder flake´s ward. small world huh...
mom, i want to thank you for your letter this week. it was really great to hear your story about the girl from the hair place. the truth is that everyone can be a missionary. you don´t have to have a calling somewhere to be a missionary. we should all try to be missionaries. i want you to know that your an awesome example to everyone. dad, keep up the good work and everything. mom tells me that you went with bridg, sean, and uncle jeff to the byu game in las vegas. man, those are fun. sean, i hope that you´re tearing it up at school and everything. it sounds like byu whooped up on lv, which is sweet. but whats up with the chargers?! i don´t hear anything about sports here...other than soccer of course. paige, i´ll definately do what you asked in your email. i´ll be sure to pray...keep up the good work and just remember to be an example for others. you´re buenisima. bridg, thanks for the letter this week too. it sounds like you´re having an awesome time with jillian. i sounds like you had a sweet time with brooke in vegas also.
i want to thank you all for your letters and prayers. you are all so awesome. i want you to know that i love you all. you are in my heart and prayers. until next week...
con cariño,
elder ryan hall

p.s. i sent the picture of zach woodmansee and i on here too. you´ll have to tell me next week if you get it.
