hey i just read that you guys didnt get my email last week. i dont know how that happened, but i sent you all one. ill write you all back later, but heres the letter for last week.
whats up fam!
dang what a week both here and at home. i wanted to be sure to tell dad happy fathers day! i know that it was yesterday, so im sorry that im telling ya late. i forgot to say anything last week. but it sounds like you had a good day. but you really are an amazing dad and any kid would wish that they were your son. thanks for everything dad...
be sure to tell madison walters congrats on getting baptized. thats way awesome!
alright so im pretty shoked, ive gotta say. it turns out that elder chavez is leaving the area. hes going to florencio varela (where i started the mission) in an area called san francisco. neither or us thought that he would be leaving. we both thought that if someone left, it would be me. but i guess thats just what the Lord needs of us both. as it turns out, im gonna be training again. but apparently my companion is having visa problems and they wont let him come to argentina yet. i talked to president today and he told me that he doesnt have an exact date for when hell get here, but it should be sometime in july. so for the next week or 2, im gonna be with a mini missionary. his name is martin arguello. hes from somewhere here in buenos aires, but i really dont know alot because ive only talked to him on the phone for like 5 minutes. but ill give you more info next week. for now, im actually just here in elder mortensens area cause hes training this transfer too. its pretty sweet how that turned out. so ill just hang here with him tonight and then tomorrow well both go to the mission home and get our new comps.
so today we all said goodbye to president asay. technically hes still gonna be here for another week or 2, but its almost like he wont at the same time. president stapley, the new president, doesnt get here for another week or so. but president asay got up and talked to all of us today. one thing that he really talked about alot was the obedience. he told us a story about how when he got here to argentina, he really hated olives on his pizza (trust me, its common). but as he kept eating them, he learned to kind of like them. then after a little while, he learned to love olives, even plain haha. then he told us that obedience is kind of the same. at first, we really dont want to be obedient. but as we keep following the rules, soon we learn to kind of like being obedient. pretty soon we learn to love to be obedient and we can understand why its so important. i thought that it was really cool...i dont think that i explained it as well as he did hahah but i think that you all get the idea. but it made me think that we should all really ask ourselves if were being obedient enough. not just in the mission field, but in our daily lives too. i think that if were all honest with ourselves, well realize that there is always room to be more obedient.
mom sounds like you and the girls are gonna have a really awesome time at girls camp. be sure to let me know how it goes. dad, happy fathers day again. and i really cant believe it but the lakers did it!!! shooottttt!! i heard that we were down 3-2 and being honest, i wasnt sure that we could come back. LAKERS!!! all i know is that we better be able to get one more for me next year hahah. sean, dude be sure to tell daniel and ashley congrats for me thats way cool that theyre getting married! dang man, thanks alot for that scripture too. it really is a good one. ill have to use it in one of my district meetings or something hahah. and of course the trivia this week was from dumb and dumber. such a classic! "you sold our dead bird to a blind kid?!" "harry...i took care or it." paige, i talked to elder gubler today. he told me to tell you to just be on the lookout for a letter from him in the next week or so. im trying to still keep his hopes up on you, but youre not doing anything to help out. work with me here paige, work with me! hahah bridg, so this maria belen girl sent invitations to both you and paige this week on facebook. so i hope that you can talk to her a little bit...congrats on finishing school for this year too! thats awesome.
alright well were gonna go do some work here in mortensons area. thanks for all the emails and prayers and stuff. you guys are all awesome! have a great week. talk to you soon...
con cariño,
elder ryan hall
