June 28, 2010-A Great Surprise

hey everyone,
yeah so im really sorry about the email last week. i thought that it sent, but i guess not. my bad guys...so yeah i wanna be sure and tell tyler duncan congradulations on getting home from the mission. its crazy cause it really seems like a couple months ago when he left.
ok so alright so this week has honestly been one of the toughest that ive had. it doesnt really matter exactly why, but i just really need all of your guys prayers right now.
now im here with elder arguello. hes the mini missionary from banfield. hes like 20 and is leaving to serve a mission in mexico in november. we get along enough. i think that the toughest thing for me right now is just that its super tough to understand him. this is the first latin that ive kind of had trouble understanding. but it doesnt always make me feel that bad cause there are alot of people who dont understand him either. but hes really a good kid. im pretty excited about when my new companion gets here though. all theyve told me so far is that he should be here by july. but the thing is that elder arguello doesnt want to serve a mini mission for more than like 2 or 3 weeks, so if my hijo isnt here by then, they may have to put me with someone else. i guess that we´ll just see what happens...
we found a kid the other day. his mom is a member, but she just moved into our ward. hes like 12 and his name is nicolas. when we first tried to talk to him, he didnt really want to listen. but he was outside playing soccer with some of his friends, so elder arguello and i was like, ¨lets go play with them!¨ so we went and played for a while and i think that nicolas really started to trust us a little more. hopefully that he can start to come to church. his parents are separated and the only days he can see his dad are sundays.
ok so ive kinda got a funny story that happened today. so we decided to go to quilmes for a little bit. so we were just walkin around and we saw a guy dressed as michael jackson. it was way funny, he had the music and was just dancing for money. so i pulled my camera out and started recording him. right when i started recording, he stopped dancing and started walking around with a hat asking for money. but i didnt give him any cause i wanted to record a video of him dancing first. he got all mad at me cause i wouldnt give him any money. i was like, ¨after! youve gotta dance first!¨. i just thought that it was pretty funny cause he got mad at me for not giving him any money. he ended up dancing again and i ended up giving him some money, dont worry. it was even funnier cause i was able to record all of it. i think youll all laugh when you see it.
mom, im glad that you had a really good time at the girls camp thing. normally, the ¨younger¨ girls are supposed to have a better time than the moms. but hey who says that moms cant have more fun than their daughters hahah just kidding. dad, how did it go for a couple days solo? im sure that you got a couple movies in there. good times. you know that we´re gonna have more times like that. sean (and emily), how are you guys doin? hows all the work and stuff going? oh and dude, are the padres still tearin it up in the world of baseball? its crazy that argentina is playing in the cuatros for soccer. ive gotta say, im not a huge fan of days when argentina plays here. but its tight that they´re still playin. we´ll see if they make it to the next round. paige, thanks so much for writing. just know that i love you. i really needed to hear from you and everything...oh so ill be sure to tell gub-daddy to be expecting a letter WITH PICTURES in the next couple weeks. ive still got hopes for him being my brother in law. bridg, im glad that you and paige were both able to talk to maria belen the other day. she showed me both of the emails...ill bet that youre super excited about brookie coming down soon. be sure to tell her hi for me.
alright guys, i gotta get goin. thanks for everything. i love you all. until next week...
con cariƱo,
elder ryan hall
