Week 87!

¡hola hola!

¿como andàn todos?  i'm hoping that you're all going great over in the United States!!!  i'm doing quite well as well!!!  hahaha sorry that i forgot to tell you guys that this week has changes.  but as i was expecting Elder Verdugo and I are staying the exact same and we'll be together for 6 weeks more.  but this week hasn't been TOOOO exciting but there have been a few things.  this teusday pasado we had divisiones with a companionship.  i stayed here and elder Verdugo left, i stayed here with a kid named Elder Webster from St. George, UT.  the sad thing is that we almost lost him before he got to the us.  haha he was on the bus from mercedes headed to Fray Bentos and there are two stops that us as missionaries siempre use, the terminal and a plaza next to our house.  this time we had told his comp that he needed to get off at the bus terminal.  we waited for his bus to show up and when it got there he wasn't on the bus!!!!  we asked the bus driver if a missionary was on the bus and he said that he had already gotten off the bus!!!  so we were like CRAP and we took a taxi to the plaza that he may have have gotten off at.... HE WASN'T THERE!!!!! so we went back to the terminal to try to find him and we tried calling his comp in Mercedes and everything but after 10 minutes he finally shows up in the bus terminal.  hahaha i almost crapped myself thinking that we had lost a missionary.  what apparently happened was that we got car sick on the bus and had to get off the bus because we was going to throw up and just started SPEED WALKING in the direction of the bus!  haha at least he's safe now!  he's got the same amount of time as my kid Elder Duke and barely knows ANY SPANISH.  it was super fun talking with him because he's obsessed with football.  so we got to talk quite a bit about the NFL, BYU, and college football in general.  i remember right before he got on the bus to go back to Mercedes he told me, "thanks for talking about football with me. (he's with a latin comp that is obsessed with soccer) i needed to talk about something other than soccer"  hahah he's a funny kid.  but besides that not too much is going on...  this week we have two baptisms on sunday of two cousind named Santiago and Enzo.  so with lots of prayers it will go as planned.  but besides that not too much has changed!

love ya,

Elder Ty Atkinson
