Week 6!

:hey there my super awesome family!!!!
yes i was able to recieve a shower and drink now hahaha.  i got a shower on friday.  guess what???  i have a new companion, yeah i know right? in the class below us (the 3 weekers) one of the elders really knows spanish well so they bumped him from his class and now he's my companion.  his name is Elder Bush.  he's a really cool guy, he's from Shelly Idaho,  i'm having a blast down here.  for General Conference we watched priesthood session live (9:00-11:00 in argentina) and we watched the sunday sessions live too (1:00 and 5:00) because we went proscelyting on saturday we only got to watch one session on saturday that was recorded (the morning session) and we watched the saturday afternoon session on sunday morning before the live sessions that afternoon.  my favorite talk of general conference was probabliy patrick kearon of the seventy, he talked during the priesthood session and for some reason i was really drawn into his talk.  i also really likes elder Holland's talk, he always know how to interest me and get my attention.  we've been learning the finishing parts of our grammar and should finish all of our grammar by the middle of next week!!!  it's not fun learning grammar.... but we've been learning a ton about the gospel and i get soo excited to be able to fly to URUGUAY in three weeks and teach them all the gospel!!!!!  how's everything going back home?  on Tuesday the North American elders that we've had here since i've been here left for the Uruguay, Montevideo mission...  it's kinda weird not having them here because we've grown soo close to one another.  we got some new latinos today, i met one of my roommates so far, his name in Elder Alveréz, he's from a small town in central Argentina.  the other elder in our room hasn't showed up yet but he's going to be a Chileno.  that is sooooooo crazy that lindsey gets to register for college next week!!!!!  man... that was QUICK!!!!!  i'm very glad to hear that all of you are doing AMAZINGLY well!!!  just to let you know, i have some pictures for you but we don't have enough time to send them until the day before we get to leave from the CCM.  so in like 2 and a half weeks or so i will be able to send you some pretty INTERESTING photos ;) haha i hope you are all doing amazing and i love you tons.
can't wait to hear more!!! LOVE YA,
Elder Atkinson
