April 26, 2010-Congrats to Sean and Emily

hey guys,
i wanna be sure to tell sean and emily right now ¨congrats on getting married¨! i think that thats so awesome! it was way cool to be able to see some of the pictures. i´ve gotta admit that on saturday i was really trying to work hard and think about other things, but i was still thinking alot about you guys getting married. i hope that you guys have an awesome honeymoon and that you enjoy the couple days at home with the fam. be sure to get some sports in for me, that you watch some movies, eat alot of food, do some dancing (at the open house and outside of the open house hahah), and just have a great time together. it will be way cool to be able to talk to you 2 on mothers day because we´ll be able to talk about all these good times. and emily- just between us your husband kinda sucks with telling me about you so you´re probably gonna have to tell me a little more about yourself hahah.
so this week has been nice. we were hoping to take out some more baptismal dates with a couple people, but it didn´t happen. both people that we wanted to take out dates with are basically ready to get baptized. one is a guy thats been going to church for a while. he´s known the missionaries for a long time. his wife (actually they aren´t married yet, but they´re planning on doing it) is a member. the only real problem with him is the marriage date. they were planning on getting married on the 7th of may, but now they´re thinking about waiting til like september. i told them to pray about it and whatever they feel, they should do. so we´ll see what happens with that. the other one is a kid whos parents are members. he´s way solid and is excited about getting baptized. we´re just waiting because he wants his grandparents to come for the baptism and they live like 16 hours away. but things are going really well...the baptism that we have for the 8th is going really well to. enzo is a really cool kid and he´s super excited about the baptism coming up.
hey so it was cool cause today i met a missionary from bountiful. we went to this other area called quilmes to play soccer and i met him there. i saw that he had bountiful brave shorts on for wrestling so i asked him if he knew dan kidd. he told me that he did, so i told him that i was his cousin. small world huh! i think his name was elder wanless or something like that. but yeah i thought that that was pretty cool.
mom, it was sweet to hear everything about sean and emily getting married. thanks alot for filling me in on alot of that. dad, dang thats so sweet that the padres are starting to win. be sure to keep me posted on that roller coaster team of ours hahah. but yeah, i´ve still got faith in the lakers. theres another missionary that i know thats a huge basketball fan too. we were talkin today about the lakers and everything. don´t worry, they´re gonna get it together and still win it all. sean, che felicidades! es buenisimo que se casó. dude just know that i love you and that i wish you and emily all the best. love ya bro. paige, looks like you were able to have a good time at the wedding. i hope that you told the fam that i said hi and everything. So it sounds like you´ve only got a couple weeks left of school. work hard so that you can enjoy the whole summer. bridg, i got another good laugh out of your little ¨wedding dance¨ story. sounds like you were happy about who you got to dance with.
alright, i should get going. i hope that all is well in sunny san diego. i hope that you are all doing awesome and that you´re having a great time. keep safe, work hard, have fun and i´ll be writing to you again soon.
con cariño,
elder ryan hall
