Week 15!

hey there my fam!!!

sorry i didn't email you yesterday.  we didn't have P Day yesterday
because today is the last day of CHANGES! i am done with my first
change (6 weeks)  haha it's FLYING by so stinking fast!  haha oh yeah
i am feeling so much better this week!  i feeel like i am at 100% so
we're working as hard as we possibly can.  i am staying in Paysandù
with Elder Ashby for this next change too.  oh i finally got your
first package that was send November 1st.  you guys are way too
stinking sweet!!!  oh and Elder Ashby says thanks soo much for the
little bag of treats!!!  hahaha i guess it takes a little bit longer
than expected to get here hahaha we found a really great family this
last week, it's a single mom with 4 kids.  she was very interrested
and read the pamphlet we gave her.  the second visit we had with her
and her family she said that she wanted her son to be baptized into
our church and that her oldest daughter (24 years old) wants to be a
missionary for OUR church and us talking with her family was the very
first time they had ever heard of us before!  haha yeah i thought that
was a pretty interresting story!  oh hey by the way, EVERYONE down
here does the finger snap thing!!!!!  no joke i mean like it is used
for phrases like "ooohhh YEAH!!!" or "DO WORK" or stuff kind of like
that hahaha so i guess i'm not that special ;) hahathis sunday was
pretty cool because our sacrament attendance was 31 PEOPLE!!!  that's
the most we've had there in over a year so it was pretty exciting but
none of our investigators came... so that was upsetting especially
because we were expecting 8 people in church so it was a bittersweet
feeling.  we didn't get to see the first presidency devotional down
here because they did a live broadcast from the stake center ah 11 at
night so we weren't aloud to watch... but we are watching a recording
of it for our end of the year party so we'll get to see it in like a
week of two.  thanks for all of your prayers andthoughts for me!!!

can't wait to call you guys in 18 days!!

LOVE YOU TONS,
Elder Atkinson
