November 30, 2009 - hola de buenos aires

hey everyone,
wow so it sounds like its been an awesome week for everyone. thank you all for writing me, i really appreciate that. it sounds like thanksgiving in utah was sweet. but to tell you the truth, i actually forgot about thanksgiving. i didn´t realize that it had passed until the day after haha. i woke up and was like ¨wow i forgot about thanksgiving!¨ but i´m glad that you all had an awesome time with the fam. its weird though because its snowing in utah and summer is coming up here in argentina (i think the official first day of summer here is like the 21st of december)
you all also commented about the new twilight movie. i actually see a bunch of posters and stuff everywhere in la plata, so i´ve known that it was coming out for a while. its a good thing i´ve never been a fan of twilight (even if sean liked it too hahah).
so this week has been kind of crazy for us. its kind of a bummer because lujan wasn´t able to get baptized. we weren´t able to go the pre-interview with her this week, so we have to try and do it this week. i honestly don´t know when she´s going to get baptized, but realistically, i´m guessing that it won´t be for a couple more weeks. that was kind of a bummer for me, but we´re going to work hard this week....which reminds me, i was wondering if you could all fast and pray for my companion, elder araya, this week. i think more than anyone, he needs your prayers. he´s just really unhappy with the area and has been thinking alot about home lately...too much about home i mean. he had to go to an interview with the president this morning because he just hasn´t had the right mindset. right after their interview, the president told me that he wanted to talk to me also. he said that i need to really help araya out. he told me that i have to kind of be the senior companion. i´m going to do everything i can and i´d really appreciate it if you prayed for him specifically this week.
this week really was not a good week for us number´s wise. it didn´t feel right sunday night. i made a promise that i´ll never have a week like that again. i won´t let that happen.
mom, thanks a bunch for your letter. i´m really glad that you all had an awesome time in utah and that you didn´t all freeze to death hahah. dad, its awesome to hear that things are going super well in the sports world. i´m stoked for the chargers and how they´re woopin up now hahah. its sweet that the lakers are doing what they should be also...just dominating. sean, i´m glad you had an awesome time with the fam up in utah too. thanks a bunch for writing me this week. it means alot to me bro. keep working hard and know that i love you too. paige, i feel like i´ve just been messing around with bridget for awhile, so i think i´ll change it up a bit. twilight isn´t even that good! hahah but i really do see posters everywhere...it always says ¨nueva luna¨ (of course because i´m in a latin country...after i wrote that i realized that that was super obvious that it wouldn´t in be english). but just know that it probably wont be the first movie on my list...its gonna be pretty low. bridg, thats awesome that you had so much fun with brooke and all the other cousins. i hope that you were sure to tell them all hi for me.
well i guess that´s about it for this week. thank you all again for your letters and prayers. mom, i almost forgot, the package that you sent is in capital right now. the people from the offices are going to get it on thursday, but i´m guessing that i´ll get it in a couple more weeks. but thanks again for sending that...ok now i´ve really got to go. thank you all again. keep working hard in everything that you´re doing and know that i love you all. until next week...
con cariƱo,
elder ryan hall
