hey there my good ol' family!!!! how's life? i'm great and as you can see because today isn't monday it is obviously changes!!! hahaha guess what???? I'M LEAVING!!!!!! yeah i'm going to Zone Artigas and area Barrio 4. AND i'm having my 2nd latino comp. his name is Elder Vega, he's from Columbia and is in his 12 or 13th change and this will be his first change as senior comp. haha so once again i'll have another new senior comp. but this week has been stinking CRAZY!!! first we did divisions with our district leader and his kid. i left my area and went into their area for two days with the district leader's kid Elder Navarro. he's a cool kid but for some reason him and his companion don't get along very well, i tried talking to him about it and why they didn't get along and it turns out that Elder Navarro is kind of just a little TOO MUCH. he's always talking, doesn't stop, but i talked to him for a while about it and i think he's getting a lil bit better. i told him about how we need to learn something from every comp we get on the mission and he had never thought of learning from his comp. he always just focused on the negative in his comp and how much he didn't like his comp. but i kept telling him stuff like "there's a reason that he's YOUR trainer and not someone else's. i think that he's getting better. Elder Navarro is a super nice Chileno and wants to work hard he just doesn't know how. haha so once i got back to the Vich on thursday i talked to Elder Fikus and he told me the President Heaton had called him about the area. i guess that he said that he was worried about how there hasn't been like any baptisms these last two changes. he asked why he thought that was and what they could do. he also talked about the possibility of closing the area and everything. i guess that they're thrying their best to turn around the area and it's on it's last leg. preasident also said that that was why he brought me and elder fikus together for that area. but we'll see what happens for that area. elder fikus is finally getting his first latino comp EVER!!! this is his 11th change and his first with a latino. haha but this week has been crazy. we also found out that one of the recent comverts isn't going to come to church anymore because her 14 year old daughter is CRAZY and won't let her go to church. that was one of the more annoying parts of the week, we tried talking to the convert about what the crap is going on but nothing is going to change for at least the next month or so. but this new area i heard is about as problem filled as the one i'm in right now and was in when i was in Paysandù. they struggle getting people to church but it sounds like they've gotten some recent baptisms in the area to keep it going a little bit! haha so i'm super excited to find out what's going to happen this next change!!! WOOO!!!! back to 100% spanish!!! woo i'ma get way better again!!! super excited! can't wait! hey gotta go!
i love you guys and thanks a ton for all you've sent me and your prayers and everything!!!
Elder Tyler Atkinson
