September 8, 2010



heyyy guys,
sorry that this email is coming a couple days late. what happened was that we decided to change our pday to today. here in adrogue some of the missionaries in the zone work in the offices. so they always have pday on wednesdays. and we wanted to have a big zone activity together, so we decided to change it for that. so sorry for not being able to write on monday.
im finally sending a couple more pictures for you guys. the first 2 are from the baptism that we had on saturday...thats right, mercedez got baptized on saturday and then confirmed on sunday. it was a really awesome experience for her and we were all really excited. thanks for all the prayers cause i know that she needed that help to be ready for her baptism. now we´re getting ready for her...shoot i totally forgot how to say the word in english...anyway its her ¨nieto¨, julian, to get baptized. we´re teaching him right now. he has to go to church this week and then we can baptize him next saturday. hes pretty excited about it. the other ¨nieta¨, is probably gonna wait for a little while to get baptized. really she could get baptized, but the thing is that she wont really be able to remember anything after a while. she really likes the church and everything. but for me, its not worth it to baptize her just to baptize her. so i think that for now, we´re just gonna wait til shes a little older.
so today has been pretty fun too. we all went and made and asado. then while that was cooking, we played soccer and basketball. president stapley showed up when we were about to finish and he was like, ¨alright we´re playin one on one¨ to me hahah. we only played really quick, but lets just say i still got my game hahah. but it was way fun.
mom, the other picture that im sending you is a picture that we took earlier today. im sending it cause the missionary that im with is named elder gibbs. hes one of the assistants here in the mission. but ive talked to him before and knew that he was from san diego. his family moved to utah a couple years ago. but i was talking to him a little more today and found out that he was living in oceanside. so i was like, ¨wait, what ward were you in?!¨ and he told me that he was in the vista 9th ward. its crazy, he totally knows a bunch of families like the woodmansee´s and the fronks. we also both went to roosevelt. he was a grade older than me, but its pretty sick cause we were both going to roosevelt at the same time. then he moved to utah or something. but i was wondering if you knew his family. he said that theyre a pretty huge family, like 15 or something. dad, whats goin on with the padres!? they´re losin it for us! dang theyve gotta pull out of this funk. sean, dude i hadnt hear that byu was gonna go independent. to be honest, im not really sure how thats gonna work. But dude keep havin fun with all that homework stuff. i cant wait for all that hahah. paige, it sounds like the academy is really awesome. id like to see what its like and everything. i heard that youve got some kind of tryouts this week, so i really hope that all goes well. bridg, i hope that youre volleyball tryouts turn out well too this week. be sure to let me know how it all goes.
alright guys, thanks for the emails and everything. i seriously cant believe that this is already the last week of the transfer. its seriously flown by. im pretty sure that nothing is happenin with elder lucas and i. im really excited to stay here in el triangulo. i really hope that elder mortensen and a couple other missionaries stay for another transfer here too. it would be so sweet. ill let you all know how it turns out. but i hope you all have great weeks. youll be hearing from me again really soon, since ill be writing you this monday.
con cariƱo,
elder ryan hall
