hey there!
i'm doing great! :) this week we didn't have any rain which was super weird for a change. haha there's a celebration down here that just started last night called "Carnival" and it is like a 2 week straight party where they just party all night it's pretty crazy!!! haha i could hear it from 8 blocks away in our apartment. oh by the way, in case you didn't know there are 2 big futbol teams down here one is Peñarol, and the other is Naciònal, and they are SUPER rivals it's kind of the equivalent to the BYU, Utah rivalry. if you are wondering i am a fan of Peñarol. but they played like last week and they tied!!! so NO ONE is happy because they can't tell eachother that their team is better... haha that's one of the things i absolutely HATE about futbol is that games can end in ties! haha oh yeah!!! i got's a GOOOOOD story!!!so me and my comp were walking down the very furthest road in our area which doesn't have a lot of traffic and way in the distance we see like 4 or 5 brown blobs in the middle of the road and we both were just saysing stuff like "what in the world is in the road?" we walk up to them and we find 5 HUGE Terantulas (i don't know how to spell it) all were about the size of my HAND!!! it was absolutely INSANE!!! i had heard from other Elders that Paysandù was known for having big spiders but i had never seen an actually HUGE spider until then! haha we found a spider that wasn't as big as the other ones but was dead, and we decided to take it home so we could take pictures of it! but it's still a fairly big spider! hahaha i have the picture and i'll send it to you this week! but besides that honestly not too much has gone on this week. the one really good investigator we have is still doing AWESOME! she's getting excited for her Baptismal date! she came to all 3 hours of church this week and became really good friends with one of the recently activated members that me and Elder Ashby activated so it's good to see that she is doing soo well! oh have any of you guys drank tonic water before???? oh my goodness i had some yesterday at a member's house with Elder Segura and it was terrible!!! the beginning wasn't bad until the AFTER-TASTE came in! oh my goodness i don't think that i am going to drink tonic water ever again! but it's stinking HUGE down here! everyone loves stinking tonic water. something that i thought i would never become a fan of is carbonated water but EVERYONE drinks that down here too!!! and quite frankly i'm starting to become a fan of it! haha as gross as i thought it was before the mission i'm actually becoming quite fond of it ;) hahahahaha
well thanks for the emails and the love,
Elder Atkinson
