October 5, 2009 - hola de buenos aires

hey everyone,
wow so first of all, before i get started with everything, i want to thank you all for sending me letters and packages. mom, i got the package on wednesday. wow it was seriously all so awesome! the best part by far was the pictures. they were all so good but the best one by far was the one of keeley, paige and bridget. that was seriously the best picture without a doubt. but everything in the package was awesome so thanks a lot mom. i also want you to make sure to thank keeley for her letter and gracie too. they were great. i want you all to know that i love you all. i´m soo blessed to have all.
so its been a good week. general conference was seriously amazing! i´ve never liked conference as much as i did this year hahah...i guess thats what happens when you become a missionary right? but the best talk without a doubt was the talk by jefferey r. holland...wow did he bajó la caña or what?! wow it was seriously so good. i think we all had to pick our jaws up off the floor. i want to just put my testimony with his right now. this church is the church of jesus christ. the book of mormon is true...people have constantly tried to tear down the book of mormon and prove that its not true, but they just can´t. and honestly they never will be able to because its all true. all of the talks were awesome, but his was one of the best talks i´ve ever heard. one thing that i noticed about the talks this conference was that alot of them focused on 3 things: love, family, and the plan of salvation. they are really all connected. we have love because we have families. we have families because they are a part of God´s plan for us.
I wish i could tell you all that matias ponce and abril mesa came to church this week, but they didn´t. we´ve had some difficulties with matias and abril´s dad this week. both are going to be baptized, but we just might have to wait a couple weeks. but i want to thank you all for your prayers for them and for all the other investigators that we have.
mom, thank you so much for writing again this week and for the package that you sent. i was thinking that it would be cool if you were able to send an international calling card before christmas gets here. calling cards are expensive here in argentina so it would be awesome if you could send one to me. dad, it sounds like you all had a good time fishing this week. its about time you didn´t catch anything-hahah. it sounds like lately you´ve all be catching stuff left and right. but keep working hard and know that i love you. sean, i hope that you´re doing well too. i guess i´ll just wait to hear about any sports news or anything. but mom told me that you were able to go to conference on saturday, which was probably sweet. i had to listen to the saturday morning session all in spanish. but elder bednard´s talk was really good. paige, i hope that you´re not having too much fun now that school is all underway and everything hahah. but keep up the good work. oh and by the way, everytime i show those pictures of you to people they always think you´re like in your 20´s hahah. bridg, having having a great time with jillian and keep working hard in school.
i want you all to know that i love you. thank you all for everything that you do for me. i am truly blessed. until next week...
con cariño,
elder ryan hall
