Hola

Hey, How is everyone doing this week? This week was amazing we had our sector conference and the zones of Artigas and Rivera came down to Tacuarembó. A member of the area presidecy was there, his name is Elder Aidukaitis. It was so good. He talked about what we need to do to double our baptisms what President Hinkley said like 10 years ago. It was awesome when he bore is testimony at the end the spirit was so strong it was unreal. Then that night we went out to work at like 4:30 and in 4 and a half hours we found 13 people. He said that we should have a baptism every weekend and we have 1 planed for this coming Saturday or Sunday and then we will have 3 the week after that. We are working really hard and we are having a lot of fun. Yesterday we had the baptism of Irma Diaz it went really well. My spanish is getting a lot better. I can understand all of it if the people speak clearly. It is really cool to speak another language. Yes I got 2 packages last Thursday one from Elyse and the other from Aaron and Jodi. They were great it was like christmas. Montevideo is like 5 and a half hours away. The weather here is really crazy. We have had some rain but not a ton. The weather changes daily yesterday was great sunny and warm and today is cloudy and cold i never know what it is going to be like. The parents of my companion are leaving like the 2nd of October but make sure you get whatever you are sending down to them before the 30th of September. The only thing that i think i need is the cords for my camera so i can send you pictures. The homecoming of my companion is on the 19th of October. I don´t know what time his church starts at but that is the date. Everything is going great down here. We eat really good the members take really good care of us they are amazing. I´m glad everything is going great back home i´ll write you next week. Hey i forgot to tell you that i milked a cow for one of the members in the ward it was really fun. If you had to do that everyday your forearms would be so strong. Chao. Elder Tate
