so how's life going???? i'm doing super good and we have CHANGES!!!! i'm leaving to a town called "Fray Bentos" with a Mexican called Elder Verdugo. Elder Duke is staying here with a latino named Elder Lòpez. it'll be super good for him to have a latin comp because he'll be able to learn a CRAP TON!!! one thing that's interresting with me is that i'm going to Fray Bentos to be a Zone Leader. Elder Verdugo has one change more than me. we'll see how that goes. i think it will be fun but also a TON of responcibility. but it's been super fun training Elder Duke and i can tell that he's grown a lot being with him. so that was fun. this last week was also the Patria Gaucho which is the biggest gaucho party in all of uruguay. it was super cool because it had a rodeo, random places to buy gaucho stuff, BBQs, and old restored stuff like houses, schools, hospital, church, and ranches there to see how it was way back in the day. it was super cool!!! i bought a few things there, a "Rasta" which is a huge gaucho belt and a "Mate de Pata Vaca" which is a mate but made out of a cow hoove. it's actually pretty freaking awesome i'd have to say myself. but anyways, this week was actually super good because we found some super cool people in the area that are total studs!!! we found this kid named Alvaro who's 15 and looks like a little punk he's got tattoos all over the place but they aren't even good tattoos they're totally crappy tattoos that you would expect from a Pirate to these types of tattoos. but he actually has super good questions and he's asked us a few times when he can be baptized. his mom is a member but she's less active so now we're trying to activate her and her family. so it'll be super cool. the sad thing is that my computer is being soo slow that i don't have anymore time to write... sorry.
love you all,
Elder Atkinson
