July 6, 2010-Happy Independence Day

que tal everyone?!
thank you all for everything this past week. i want you all to know that your prayers really helped me. i really needed that, so thank you all a bunch.
alright so today was really awesome cause we all went to the zoo in capital. it was the first time that ive ever been so i thought that it was really fun. i made sure to take a bunch of pictures.
ive been trying alot this week to get something going for us here in this area. we´ve been working about in the area book. we´ve been able to find some old investigators that ended up not getting baptized. so we´ve tried to focus a bunch on finding those people again, figuring out why they didnt keep progressing, and help them get baptized. we´ve been able to have a little success this last week with it. we were able to find a married couple (i make sure to mention that they´re married cause its really not common here in argentina haha) who was listening to the missionaries a couple months ago. the dad was a missionary a while back, but his wife isnt a member. apparently she was about to get baptized a couple months ago, but work kind of made it complicated. we´re really hoping that we can help her to keep progressing so that she can get baptized. i think that the most important thing for her is that she keeps reading the scriptures and going to church.
so this is probably going to be my last week with elder arguello. apparently he has to go back home cause he still hasnt finished school. but i called the assistants the other day to ask them if my other comp was gonna be here by then and it doesnt sound like it. so im guessing that after this week, im gonna be with another mini missionary. i guess we´ll just see what happens...
mom, i thought that it was sick how that guy from the ward is from argentina! the drink that you were talking about it called ¨mate.¨ seriously evvverrryyyonnneee drinks mate here. everyone except the missionaries cause its a rule that we cant. but i did buy a mate cup a while ago cause im planning on taking everything back to the US with me. and about the cold...really as far as sweaters and stuff go, im all good. no worries there. you have to be sure to tell him that we´re gonna talk it up ¨argentine style¨ after the mission though. dad, how are the padres doing?! im hoping that they´re still on a roll. have you been able to see and new movies or anything lately? sean, dude it sounds like you and emily have just been going everywhere the last couple weeks. thats sweet that you were able to go to daniel and ashley´s wedding. be sure to tell them congrats for me. dude chillin in san diego sounded was awesome too. paige, i hope that you have an awesome couple weeks up in utah with sean and emily. im glad to hear that you had such a good time with dance and everything. keep it up! oh and ill be sure to tell gub-daddy that hes got a letter AND pictures on the way hahah. bridg, dont have too much fun there with brookie cookie alright.
well thats about it for this week. thank you all for everything. i seriously want you all to know that your prayers and everything that you did really helped me out this week. i love you all! until next week...
con cariƱo,
elder ryan hall
