Week 23!

hey hey hey there my PEEPS in Los Estados Unidos!!!

 

how's life going? first off, i got your two packages this last tuesday!!!  thanks soo stinking much for them!!!  i love the shirt, shorts, all the candy and the new pictures!!!  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE all of it!  oh by the way, Elder Segura says "Muchìsimo Grasias" for the stuff you sent for him! hahaha  i also got one letter from you guys with the stamps and stuff,  haha i came in a plastic beg because it got soaking wet!!  it was stikk sogging wet when i opened it, haha dad and mom's pen ink seeped through everything hahaha but luckily i could still read it all! thanks a butt load!  this week has been a lot of FUN!!!  my spanish is getting better and better everyday!  haha it's actually not too tough speaking spanish 24/7haha it's funny being with him, yesterday at church i was talking with some of the youth of the ward and they said that they didn't like him, so they only like talking to me hahaha so i talk with them all the time.  ;) hahahahahaha hey you guys know what those rhino bugs look like right?  well they're everywhere HERE!!!  yeah i know i thought it was the weirdest thing i had ever seen in real life!  i thought they were only in like africa and stuff like that!  i was definitely suprised to see them here.  we found a lady whose name is Katy, she's about 32 years old, single mom with two sons, a 6 year old and a 2 year old.  she listened to us and told us that it seems really interresting.  so we came back the next time and she was super sad and it turns out that she was super confused on what to do, apparently once a week the Jehova's Witness' come over and do a Bible study with her, and she is a Catholic.  so she was just like super confused on stuff like that,  so we told her about Joseph Smith and his story and how it's kind of like her situation trying to find which church is the true church and we showed her the Restoration video and she was said something like "wow his situation was like my situation" it was really cool, she ACCEPTED a baptismal date AND she came to church this last week!!!  her date is for the 26 of february!  i hope everything goes well with her!  so every week we play futbol with our youth and the local kids in the neighborhood and all of them are having a blast and i am too and i'm getting better and better at futbol.  it's pretty cool! MAN this last week we had a lot of rain AGAIN!!!  i mean like this last wednesday the road next to our house had 2 feet of water going down the road!!!  no joke it was like a real river in the street!  haha and we had to deliver something to our Zone Leaders so we had to cross it!!!  definitely got a little wet from that! haha but's it's all good!  the only bummer is that when it rains here it's still like 85 degrees outside so it's super hot, if you wear a jacket you end up being dreanched in sweat!!!  haha so you're either soaked i rain without a jacket, or drenchet inj sweat and wear a jacket!  haha so it's annoying either way hahaha

 

but thanks for everything! packages letters and emails!!

THANKS A CRAP TON, much love,

Elder Tyler Atkinson
