Week 99!

hey there,

this has been a weird week. first off about the changes.  SUPRISE!!! I'M LEAVING!!!!!  i'm going to montevideo a Oeste 10.  yeah on sunday night president heaton called me and told me that even he wasn't going to change me but that he went to the temple and felt revelation that i needed to go to Montevideo with Elder Lòpez from El Salvador.  he told me that he's been having a lot of trouble being an obedient Elder and that he wanted me to go and help him.  so i'm going down from Zone Leader and being a district leader for my last change and finally going to go to Montevideo.  it will be super cool to be able to see all the crap that's down there and also i'll be in the same district as Elder Hendricksen my MTC comp.  so we'll be together in the same district our last change!!!  but it i've heard that my area is just buildings and appartments!  so it'll be a HUGE difference from the rest of my mission.  hahahaha but i'm super excited.  but this week went by super fast because i was out of my area like the whole time.  hahaha on tuesday we did divisions and i stayed in my area with Elder Strong from Boise Idaho, super stud and really cool cat! he's in his third change on the mission.  then we had a normal day on wednesday and on thursday i went to the area of Elder Olivares because he was a little worried about his baptism on saturday so i went with him to help him with his investigator and we did mini divisiones for like 4 hours on thursday and then on friday we had to go to Dolores to do a baptismal interview so took up almost all of friday and stuff like that. hahah so for lots of this week we weren't even in our area.  but it was a fun week and we worked super hard.  i'm sending you a few fotos that are a little blocky because i had to shrink them down a tad to send them.  but the pics are of me and my comp after a tiring day, all of the zone liders with the mission president and his wife in front of the temple. and two pictures of our district one on P Day and the other after district meeting.  but i'm doing great and it's stil fairly cold down here.  hahahahaha love you all,

thanks for all the love and prayers,

Elder Tyler Atkinson
