Week 82!

yo wassup everybody!!!!????

 

i´m hoping great because so am i!!!  i´m a little bit sick but it´s all good i just have a caugh and a runny nose so i´m sniffing all day so my head is kind of hurting but it´s all good i THINK i´ll live through this trial haha  haha but we´re doing good down here in Fray Bentos!  we´re in a small branch of like 30 members again but i like it that way because then you know you have a lot of work to do!  because i´m zone leader here in fray bentos we do a lot of traveling. because the full zone is actually 3 cities/towns.  so the towns are Fray Bentos(4 companionships) , Mercedes(4 companioships), and Dolores(2 companionships).  it´ll be ful but tough.  random fact, if you didn´t know the word DOLORES means in english PAINS, so in my zone there are 4 Elders in PAINS hahaha.  but being a zone leader isn´t too much different than being a regular missionary.  the only things that you have to do is try to help the district leaders have success in their districts, go to zone leaders meeting every months and try to figure out how to help every companionship succeed.  it´s kind of like a bit mind exhausting role.  this week we are going to have a meeting with the stake president about a stake missionary plan and how we can help him reach what he wants to do in the stake with everything, trying to make sure that the members, bishops, liders, and missionaries are all on the same page.  we´re recently trying to work with the missionaries on how to keep them animated and how we can keep slowly raising the bar and eventually explode the area!  it´ll be lots of hard work but we´re working super hard.  my comp is hilarious, hisname is Elder Verdugo, and he´s from sanora, Mexico.  he said that it´s like 15 minutes away from Rocky Point.  he´s super good and he know how to talk to the investigators SUPER well!  i think we´re going to have quite a bit of success together! so i´m excited and ready to kiid on rollin!

love you all,

Elder Atkinson
