i'm just living the life down here in Artigas! it's been super fun and weird this week. we had divisions this week and i stayed in my area with a kid named Elder Rodriguez from Honduras this is his 3rd change in uruguay and it a little interresting. hahaha first off he's always walking around like a a vampire (hair slicked back, walkes very upstraight, and always has a sweater that has a big collar like a vampires collar), second off at about 6:28 in the morning (2 minutes before my alarm goes off) i wake up to this kid touching my face... AWKWARD!!!! but he's a funny guy. he's a recent convert of about a years and eight months. he's definitely excited to teach the gospel, and to work hard. so on tuesday we had a Zone Conference in Salto and it was super fun! especially because i got to see Elder Shaw and a bunch of old Elders that i've known for a while. it was super fun to talk to Elder shaw and talk about how we were in the MTC a year ago and how much time flies and how NOW we can actually speak spanish. haha becauseat this time last year we were completely terrible trying to learn spanish from scratch. it was super great also because the mission President talked a lot about the missionary work and how we need to go forth in faith to recieve blessings and also to bless the lives of others here. how we're also here to help each ward, to strengthen them and to give them excitement. hahha also yesterday we had a family night at the church again because we're trying to unite the ward more. we watched "The Testaments" and we made tons of brownies and everyone here absolutely LOVED them!!! everyone wants the recipiet and everything because of how rich and flavorful these brownies were. haha vanessa and the family went and they saw that i made brownies and died when they saw them. haha they knew exactly what they were! hahabut the family night went super well, and not very many people had seen that movie so it was a great opportunity to talk about the Book of Mormon and how we know the truthfulness of the book through the holy spirit. there were 3 investigatores at the activity and 5 inactives that decided to come to the activity and they absolutely loved it! but onto a funny thing, last night Elder Siegel (lives in the house now, he's from Idaho Falls) and i played a joke and took off the door of the bathroom and hid it. OH MY GOODNESS Elder Siegel's comp Elder Almeida got super confused and worried about what happened and the my comp was saying that every now and then he sleep walks so maybe he did it in his sleep or something. i was trying soo hard to not laugh and it was even more funny trying to get them to go to the bathroom because they were only holding it all in. i was dying i was laughing so hard. but... all fun things have to come to an end... Elder Neverro found the door........ :( it was fairly sad but i think i'll get over it. but hey you know what??? next time i email you guys i'll know what my new change is so that means that i'll email you on tuesday instead of monday.
but hey! LOVE YOU ALL,
Elder Atkinson
