hey hey hey!!!!
how's life going in the far land of north America? i'm having a GREAT day because last week was a complete turn around!!! we found a BUNCH of new investigators AND Carlos (the 22 year old guy that lived in Boston for 8 years) CAME to CHURCH!!!!! not only did he come to church he has a baptismal date for the 9 of July!!! WOOOOO!!!! he's really a complete STUD!!! we're having a lot of fun teaching him, last time we taught him we invited his cousin to come with us because his cousin is a bishop in another ward whose been trying to share the gospel with him. it was super cool because Carlos told us this story that the last year or two while he was living in Boston he started getting into bad stuff with some bad people. he started really thinking about it and decided that he was going to read the Bible, almost right as he started reading the bible he kept feeling promptings to move back to Uruguay to make a better life for himself. he told us that the first people he met when he got back here from the states was the missionaries. he's a great guy, he came to our ward activity which was soccar and volleyball and he loved it! he also loves talking in english with me so he doesn't loose it. haha he couldn't remember a word and he told me, "SEE ELDER???? i am loosing it! for this reason i keep talking to you in englih!" hahaoh yeah i got your package this last week!!!!!! thanks a crap ton for the BYU jersey, the church news article and the jimmermania poster thing!!! i LOVE IT!!!! and also Elder Vega (the short guy in the fotos) says thanks a ton for the scarf and candy! you guys are soo sweet of thinking of me! this week we had a conference with the mission president and Elder Foster who is one of the area authorities here and it was super good! i got to see Elder Ashby AGAIN and he told me that he keeps dying at lindsey's letters!!! funny story: so for this conference we had to give a musical number as a zone and i had to do a solo at the beginning of it because we didn't have any good singers in our whole zone. but that morning i hadn't eaten ANYTHING so i was literally sick and couldn't sing so some one very graciously gave me an alfajor that they had in their bag. haha BAD IDEA!!! all an alfajor is is chocolate and dulce de leche which i terrible for your throat for singing. haha i completely slaughtered the somg in front of our mission president and a general authority!!!! haha yup the good ol McBride blood coming out!!! hahaha ;) hey gotta go but i love you crap tons!!!

Elder Atkinson
