whats up guys,
so thanks a bunch for the emails and pictures. it was awesome to be able to see how the reception was. its really crazy to see the house and everything again. but yeah thanks alot for sendin all that...i wanna be sure to tell sean ¨happy early birthday¨ hahah. i know that i´m gonna be able to talk to you on sunday, but thats gonna be a day late. so i thought that i should just let you know now. che eres viejo ya jajaj. no just kidding man. but seriously happy birthday. i´m way stoked to be able to talk to ya on sunday.
so this week has been pretty sweet. we had interviews with the president on like friday. it was just nice to be able to talk to him and hear that he´s really happy with what we´ve been able to do in this area. i feel like there is still so much more work that can be done here in this area though. i´m really trying not to think about it, but i really don´t know whats gonna happen to me after this week. this is the last week before transfers. it was like, before i talked with president, i kinda felt like i was for sure gonna stay in this area. the thing is that i just started training and you usually stay with a new missionary for longer time. but i´m not sure after talking with president hahah. he was talking about how this area has turned around alot and stuff and he kinda thanked me for the work that i´ve done in this area. i don´t know, but it just kinda felt like he was saying that i could leave. but personally i don´t care what happens because where ever i am i know that thats where the Lord needs me to be. so i´m just trying to have the mentality that i´m staying in this area for another transfer. but we´ll just have to see what happens.
so we´ve got enzo´s baptism this saturday. thats gonna be really cool. he´s been way excited about getting baptized. he really likes when we come over to teach him. and while we´ve been teaching him, i´ve been learning more guarani. i don´t know why i like learning guarani so much. its such a tight language and just something that hardly anyone knows. the other day i learned how to say ¨we´re from the church of jesus christ¨. its ¨oré haé tupaope ga ñandierara¨ hahah. to me its way sick. i haven´t been able to do a contact with a person from paraguay with that phrase yet, but i´m hoping that i´ll be able to use it...but yeah anyways, enzo´s baptism should be pretty tight.
one think that i´m really excited about lately in this area is that we´re starting to find more youth. we´ve actually been able to find enough that they could start a seminary program, which is sweet. there aren´t a whole bunch yet, but all of them are really liking it and getting to know each other alot better. we´ve got a kid who i already know is gonna get baptized. his name is alan acuña. his parents are inactive members, but we´re trying to help them get back to church. but alan has already told me that he´s gonna get baptized. hes like 14, and the only reason we haven´t set a baptismal date with him yet is cause he wants his grandparents to be there. i can´t remember if i´ve already told you about him. but yeah, he´s way cool.
well thanks alot mom for the email. i really like to just hear about how everyone is doing and what they´ve been up to. so thanks for always doing that for me. dad, sounds like you pulled out some of your ¨rockin moves¨ on the dance floor during the reception. i wish i could´ve been able to see that haha. but be sure to get some tennis in for me now that seans at home for a little bit. and yeah, you guys better go to a padres game or something. sean, dude thats sick to hear about all the sports stuff thats going on. i´m keepin the faith in the padres dude. and be sure to keep me posted on the lakers! we´ll talk more on sunday. and dude about this chargers running back...i´ve never heard of him. i hope that he turns out to be a beast. but i´m way excited about that. paige, mom tells me that you had scripture mastery the other day. i´ve gotta tell you the truth, i´m so glad that i did that now. you have no idea how much that kind of stuff has helped me on the mission. bridg, thanks for the pictures. i´m glad to hear that seans doing a good job of taking my spot in teasing you. if he starts slacking, let me know.
well i definately owe you all a couple pictures. so the first 2 that i sent are of valeria´s baptism. its of elder livingston, me, valeria, and her mom sara. the third one is just of me and elder mclean at some plaza one day. i hope that you like em...well i gotta get going now. i´m way excited to be able to talk to you all on sunday. have fun this week and you´ll be hearing from me soon.
con cariño,
elder ryan hall
