hey there!!!
this week has been super interresting because we´ve been flying everywhere doing things! first off, on monday we went to Mercedes to do a district leaders meeting with all the district leaders of the zone then we came back to Fray Bentos for the rest of P Day and to work. the next morning i left at 8 in the morning to go back to Mercedes to do divisions, be there for the District meeting in Mercedes, and to fix a few problems with some of the missionaries that they were having in between each other. Divisions were super cool because i went with one of the District Leaders Elder Baer, the same Elder that was in Tacuarembó with me a little while back. i was with him to work on what we`re trying to do as a Zone in Mercedes. what we`ve realized is that Mercedes is like a sleeping Giant, it`s got all the potential to explode and to have lots of success. we`re just trying to give it that little spark. but it was super fun with Elder Baer because he`s a total stud and i know that he`ll help the district go up and have more success. i came back to Fray Bentos on wednesday and we had a normal day of work. then thursday we had divisions AGAIN with a companionship in Mercedes but this time i stayed and Elder Verdugo left. i stayed with a kid from Mesa, Arizona named Elder Burton. he just started the mission one change ago so he`s still pretty new. he actually was going to BYUI before he left on his
mission and he saw my pictures and said that Lindsey looked SUPER FAMILIAR. i got soo confused but then i realized that he was up in Rexburg during Fall Semester of BYUI and he probably saw her at some point up there. we changed back on friday morning and on friday and saturday we`ve been trying to get meetings set up with the satke president so we`ll see what happens in this next week. so we`ve been running al over the place but there was one thing that i thought was really cool that happened during divisiones was when i stayed here we took a member to one of our lessons with us and the lesson fell through, i was thinking ¨whatin the world can we do with this member to help her feel the spirit?¨ so i asked her if she new anyone around here that we could possibly go to to try to share the gospel with and she thought, and thought, and thought.... then she thought of someone named Nadie so we went over and she is an Ex-Jehova`s Witness and we started talking with her and she ended up getting SUPER interrested
when we talked about the importance the families are and how the family can be eternal and she got super emotional and started to cry. it was super cool and SHE CAME TO CHURCH this sunday and LOVED it!!!! we`ll see how far she goes, she`s definitely has the desires to change some things in her life and she`s excited!!! alright but i gotta go, this week we also have interviews with Presidente Heaton,
love you all,
Elder Tyler Atkinson
