well hey there my FAM!!!
i am doing wonderful down here and just letting all of you know i got your thanksgiving packages from the atkinsons and the christmas packages from the Atkinsons, Gygis, and Grandpa and Grandma McBride! thank you soo stinking much and i can't wait to open them on christmas. :) but this week was super good and lots of fun! first off i did divisions again to help a companionship in my district get better numbers. they're super cool guys and i went with Elder Baer from indiana and my comp was with Elder Crawford from Rexburg. i went over to their area and worked lots with Elder Baer who is a total Stud that has about a year out in Uruguay. that was lots of fun being able to help him in his area that has been struggling for a little while. after that we found in our area a super good investigator named Lourdez, she was a reference from a returned missionary in the ward named Gaston. he's been home for almost two years from serving in argentina. she's been to church twice her whole life and has been listening to us and loves the gospel, she has a baptismal date for the 17th of december and she's super excited. she's even preying to find a new job so she doesn't have to work on sundays. she didn't have to work this sunday so she came to church and absolutely loved it!!!! other anouncement, we had a BAPTISM on saturday!!! a kid named Leonardo Prestes has been listening to us for a while, his parents have been members for years and recently got re-activated and the week before i got here his older brother Fernando got baptized. but i finally talked to him and we had a frank conversation and he told us why he didn't get baptized and he felt better so i just testified to him about the importance of baptism and we don't need that perfect knowledge to get baptized and the most important thing is to have this desire to want to follow christ in this life. he accepted getting baptizewd this saturday and was confirmed in church on sunday. i would send you pictures but i have to fix my memory card because it has a virus or something... :( but for some reason i can still take pictures. what else happened this week... oh yeah i threw up again..... haha but this time it was super weird, we ate at the family Atunez and it was super good and tasty, i went home feeling super good, i went home to go to the bathroom normally and then BAM lkuvbhrlsudvh, gross. but afterwards i felt super good and 100% fine before and afterwards... super weird but oh well... but besides that i had quite a great week and i think the relacion between me and Elder Principe is getting better! he's starting to listen a little more and we're working together as a team. so that's great! i can't wait to get your next emails and i gotta go!
Love,
Elder Atkinson
