how life going with all you guys in the United States??? my life has been quite well down here in the wonderful place of Tacuarembò, Uruguay!!!! soo... what did i do this week? we didn't do a whole lot but i'll try to tell you all of the things that i did in good detail. so on monday Elder Duke and i went and did a "Choque de fuerza" in the area of the hermanas. that wants to say that we went to their area and we visted old investigators and we knocked doors for a couple hours trying to help them raise up their area and give them the opportunity to get douple the work done in that short amount of time. we found a guy named cesar, he's kind of an old guy that has about 70 years. but he just loves to talk and talk and talk!!!! it was super funny because half way through he went to get us a drink and elder duke turns to me and says, "i have no idea wnat we've been talking about for the last 15 minutes" it turns out that we keep talking and Elder duke had no idea what we were saying for the whole 45 minutes we were with him. luckily i asked elder duke a few questins during the lesson trying to keep him involved and saying a few things so that he could share his testimony and things like that. so it was pretty funny. but on tuesday we had interviews with President Heaton, i love that guys so much and i really do feel how much he is praying for us and how much revelacion he recieves for us that it's really AMAZING all that he does at the age he has. he remindes me a lot of Grandpa with the way he talks to everyone and the way he shows his love to everyone through his actions and what he says. on wednesday i did divisiones with Elder Washburn in my district and we went over to his side. it's just the other side of the ward but it was lots of fun. we went by this one guys who is an investigetor of them and who is super poor. what he does as a living is that he makes jewelry out of old coins that he finds; he makes that into stuff like rings, key chains, necklaces, earings, and other stuf like that. we both decided to buy rings from this guy. they weren't too expensive, only 100 pesos ($5 in USA) and it's actually pretty cool. but we visited quite a few of their investigators and it was lots of fun. we also this week did divisions with the bishopric of the ward. i went with the second councilor "Hermano Cuadro" he's a RM that served in 2004 in Paraguay. he's soo cool and it really is so amazing getting the bishopric to do visits with us to visit our investigators because the investogator really does feel the spirit everytime thay talk aand it helps them realize that the members are normal people that obviously LIVE the standards of the gospel. so i had a wonderful time doing divisions with the bishopric and we're going to try to do it once a week if possible. but honestly besides that we didn't have anything else special happen here in Barrio Lòpez. i'm still having a BLAST and i'm learning something new every single day and that is the most important. i love you all and can't wait to hear more,
LUV,
Elder Atkinson
