The following is from Tyler:
Grandpa & Grandma
Thanks for sending me that letter! I really appreciate you two thinking of me and sending me that. Grandma, I hope your surgery recovery goes well, I'm praying for you. Uruguay is AWESOME! I'm having a blast down here! I'm in my 3rd change. (1 change is about 6 weeks) and I have my 1st Latino companion. He's Elder Segura from Peru. For the most part we get along with each other very well. Because he knows almost NO English. My Spanish is getting better and better every day! (smiling face) I'm definitely NOT fluent, but I get better and the longer I'm out here I feel more comfortable in the language. Right now down here it is HOT + HUMID! Like I mean at nights the temp. is about at 90 deg. F. in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!! During the summertime there isn't as much rain as in winter but we still get rain about once or twice a week. HaHa I just had a random thought, with 24/7 Spanish for these past couple of weeks it really changes the way I think! For example, every night before I go to sleep I read a couple of pages in "Jesus the Christ" and I just realized that I start translating it from English to Spanish! haha It's pretty random but I thought I'd let you guys know that! But besides Grandma's surgery, how are you guys doing? Have you done anything fun lately? Do you two have any plans coming up? Thanks for sending me pictures in your letters that you send! I always love getting pictures (smiling face). I don't know if it is the same here as it is like in Brazil and Paraguay when you visited there but there are TONS of people on scooters down here! It seems like every family has at least a scooter. haha It's crazy how many stinkin scooters there are here! But hey I don't have too much time left so here is a picture of one of the terantulas we found in our area! haha I hope you enjoy it! Love you Guys tons, Thanks for the letters! Elder Atkinson
