December 6, 2010-It's December

heyyy guys!
wow im really excited about hearing how good of a week its been for all of you. its cool to know that youre all finishing up with school, tests, and all that good stuff. its kinda weird to think about how fast christmas is coming up cause it really doesnt feel anything like christmas right now here in argentina hahah. weather wise, its like the opposite of everything that you guys are having up there. but things are going awesome and my comp and i couldnt be happier. we actually had transfers the other day and were really excited to find out that we were gonna be together another transfer. it wasnt a surprise at all though. next transfer is gonna be a different story, but we´ll deal with that when it gets here haha.
well to start this email off with some good news, micaela got baptized on saturday. it was really sweet. she asked me to baptize her, so that was cool. she was really excited for it too. and it was even cooler cause mary, milagros, agustina, and their older sister diana went to support her. elder gutierrez and i are both really excited about diana now too cause she went to the baptism, then went to church on sunday. we were talking to her alot those days and she told us that she really liked everything and that shes gonna keep listening and doing stuff with us. so it looks like little by little that family is all getting involved in the church. ill keep you all posted for when we take a baptismal date out with diana soon or something.
yesterday we also had a really good experience. we´ve got a recent convert thats been a member for about 10 months now. we´ve been teaching his son, jorge, and jorge´s wife (not actually married), romina off and on since ive been here. the thing with them is that romina doesnt feel ready to get married. how often do you find the girl not wanting to get married, but the guy wanting to?! hahah but yeah, thats the situation. but yesterday we had a really good lesson with them and we talked about their goals in life and stuff. they told us that they do wanna get married, but they have to get some things straightened out first. so we took out baptismal dates with them for like the 3rd week of january. jorge told us that he felt like crying and i know that we could all really feel the Spirit. i hope that they can keep wanting to have those feelings everyday in their lives, and that they start taking the commitments even more seriously. we think that they will now...
mom, i cant really remember what the system was that we had last time with calling home. like i know that it worked well and i think we should do it again, but i cant remember exactly what we did. if you could refresh the old memory for me that would be good...meetings with president stapley were really good last week. i think we were all kinda tired after, but it was all good. and no, i havent played him in basketball since then hahah. ill have to tell him that we´re gonna have a rematch again sometime soon haha. dad, ive now officially posted those kobe pictures on out bulletin board in the study room. but i think im gonna have to take them down for a little bit cause one of the quorum of the 70 is supposedly coming to our mission in a few weeks and they always check out a couple pensions while theyre here. sean, dude bummer with the chargers. ill try to keep a little hope going, but im not gonna get my hopes up on them gettin to the playoffs now. but i am way excited about byu basketball. dude jimmer freddett is so tight! and of course i know that muh lakers are gonna bounce back. it would be nice to have bynum back though. paige, guess who i was with earlier today...your husband!!! hahah and just so ya know, gub-daddy´s lookin lean and mean haha. he says that hes gettin in shape for some relaxation on the sands of so cal with you know who hahah. oh yeah and he also said that he sent you a letter like 2 months ago and that he hadnt heard from ya since, so you should probably get on that haha...and i hope that that driving goes well this week. bridg, going to the vista cif game sounds like alot of fun. hopefully they win! let me know how that goes.
well thats about all the news that ive got for you guys this week. thanks for always thinking of me and remembering me, my comp, and these investigators in your prayers. i love you all. until next week...
con cariƱo,
elder ryan hall
