Week 18!

hey hey hey there my good family!
 
sorry but i wasn´t aloud to email till today.  just a heads up, the next time i will be able to email will be the 10th of january. so on to the fun stuff!!! thanks for the letters and everything and i REALLY enjoyed the call as well!  it was awesome to hear from all of you guys!  it´s great to know that you are doing so stinking great!  fun story, Elder Ashby and I were on the news in Paysandú yesterday! yeah we were in the center of the city and we had to give our district leaders our keys to do clean checks and while we were walking a camera guy got us walking down the road and i guess they talked about how we wore hats to protect our heads from the sun.  haha so now we´re FAMOUS!!! hahahaha fun story number 2, on thursday we decided to mix it up a little bit in the morning and we took out the big Book of Mormon that we made and used it as a prop and went out to talk to people in the street!  haha it was pretty interresting and it definitely brought some attention to us so it was pretty interresting.  haha just a heads up on my ¨Crochet status¨ i just finished my first hat! it´s awesome!!!!  hahahahaha this week we have been trying to find new people to teach and also trying to reactivate all the young men in the ward.  all they young men really like us so it wasn´t too hard to get them to come to church this last week but the challenge will be getting them to come EVERY WEEK!  haha because it´s just not ¨custom¨ for the people of Uruguay to go to church.  or at least that´s their excuse haha  haha the past week has been averaging around 105 degrees every day not including humidity and averaging around 95 degrees at night oh my goodness where ever you go you can´t excape the hotness!!!!  it´s crazy!!! haha hey that´s about all the time i have for today... but thatnks for all the emails and everything!!!!  thanks for all the prayers and support!
 
LOVE,
Elder Atkinson
