Week 65!

why hello there everyone!  how is life going?
well i'm just dandy here in T-Bò.  we had an interesting week this week... so this week i did divisions with an Elder From Mesa Arizona named Elder Washburn.  he's a super cool kid that has served for about a year.  (it's super weird because i'm the oldest Elder in my WHOLE DISTRICT)  but i went over into his area and worked there for the day.  hahaha interresting story: so we were knocking doors trying to find new people to teach, we nock this one door and no one answers... so we knock again.  we hear some noise coming from inside the house so we wait for a little bit to see what's going on.  all of the sudden a big window next to the door swings open super fast and we see a BIG, HAIRY, OLD, WRINKLY, NAKED MAN standing at the door!!!!   i can honestly say that i was NOT expecting that to happen just knocking doors, the both of us were soo shocked that we didn't say anything...  all that he told us was that he was resting and couldn't attend us at this moment.  i'm honestly glad that at that moment he couldn't attend us because i think it would have been a little bit of an interresting conversation. hahaha but besides that the divisions went super well and we learned a lot from it.  ok not so funny story... Gladys...  so we pass by and talk to her on wednesday to see how she is and everything and she says that she's not doing very well...  she later tells us that she smoked and drank......  that was pretty tough so she couldn't get baptized this weekend.  we talked to her about trying again and that mess-ups happen and we just need to repent and put our Faith in the lord and try to keep going on being followers of Christ.  we come beck on thursday to chack on how she's doing with her plan to stop smoking ande there was a note that said that she had gone to her ranch out of town and that she's come back monday...  the only bad part is that she will be with her husband and she told us that she always has the desires to smoke when she's out there...  so we'll pass by today and try to see what happened.  yup...  but another good thing, we're doing a combined youth and missionary choir in the stake and they invited me to sing with a few missionaries a few men's trio and quartet stuff for Christmas.  so that's super cool!  so for this companionship, we're working super hard and we've got lots of work set our for us.  i'm not sure if Elder Principe likes me anymore... haha we'll be working on stuff together in companioship study or planning and i'll ask him if he could do something and he'll say "no" all the time.  but we're trying to work together and i baught him a cake today for his birthday today!  he turns 25 today,  so i hope that that will soften things up a bit.  but yeah i gotta go!
love you all and have a great thanksgiving,
Elder Atkinson
