October 26, 2010-This and That

hey everyone,
sorry that im writing this on tuesday instead of monday like normal. it was weird cause the internet just wasnt working. but i wanted to thank you all for your emails. i was able to read them all and they were all really awesome.
so this week i think that the coolest thing that happened was with a lady named mary that we´ve been teaching since before i got to this area. shes a really awesome person, but hasnt been able to get baptized yet cause she has to get divorced and remarried first. but we´ve been teaching her and trying to teach her family since i got here. when i first got to this area, the kids really wouldnt even say hi when we went to teach mary. but with elder lucas, we worked super hard so that they would talk to us and stuff. but now we´re teaching 3 of her daughters. but yeah this week we were able to take out a baptismal date with one of the girls. we were hoping to take out at least 2 but one of the girls hasnt decided yet. she told us that shed let us know this thursday if she wanted to get baptized with her sister. we´re trying to get them baptized within like 2 weeks. the good thing is that one of them has already gone to church 3 times and really likes it. and i think that us teaching mary´s daughters has really gotten her excited to work on her divorce. cause with mary all she needs is the signature from her old husband. the problem has always been that she didnt know exactly where her husband was living. but we talked to her yesterday and she said she was going to the place where she thinks he lives and is just gonna hang outside his house til he comes home. shes a capa. but it would be awesome if you could all pray for her so that she can get the papers signed and that her kids will decided to get baptized.
as far as luis and silvia go, we talked to them about getting married last week. it turns out that they were already wanting to get married. silvia has already gone to the registro civil to try and set a marriage date, but they told her that she had to wait til the beginning of next year to get married. so they wont get married in november but they could definately get married by january. elder gutierrez and i were both really excited about that.
mom, thats really awesome that you saw patrick aspel the other day. if you see him again youll have to be sure to tell him that i say hi and that i hope hes doing well. dad, bummer about the chargers, but hey the lakers are gonna tear it up like we´ve gone fore the past 2 years. so no worries haha. sean, che lo podes creer que ya estamos en octubre?! che tu mision voló asi tambien? hahah espero que estés preparado para jugar tenis y todo eso por que te voy a dominar hahah. paige, it looks like homecoming was way fun! i thought that they had homecoming alot earlier in the school year, but thats way awesome that you had such a good time. bridg, hahah sounds like dressing up as a ninja turtle for halloween is gonna be way fun. youre gonna have to send me a picture of that fo sho haha. and ill definately be taking you up on stealing some of your candy next year hahah.
k guys, my comp and i are gonna head out now. we´re lookin to have a really good week so be praying for us. just know that youre all in my prayers. thank you all for everything. until next week...
con cariño,
elder ryan hall
