Hey hope everything went good this last week i`m doing great here in Uruguay. We had an awesome week this week it was so much fun. We found 23 new investigators this week it was amazing everyone would listen to us and they wanted us to come back. The food is really good we have eaten milanesa ( chicken fried steak) it was good. Canalones, they were so good probably my favorite thing. They are tortillas with meat and some other stuff in them covered in a sauce they are really good. On Thursday it rained so hard. But that didn`t stop us we went out and worked all day and by the end of the day i was soaked. I could have walked through a river 2 or 3 feet deep and i wouldn`t have gotten any more wet. It was so much fun. I wore my boots and at the end of the day i dumped the water out of them it was really funny i have some pictures. I hope dad had a good birthday 50 years old WOW! That is sad about Grandpa Kirk i hope he isn`t in to much pain i feel really bad. GO UTES! Do they look good this year? The language is coming along really well when we have a lesson planned out i teach like 40 percent of it. We walk so much here it really is amazing i wish i had one of those things that counts your steps it would be an unreal number for one day. My shoes on the other hand are great and i haven`t had any problems with them. The roof on our house is made of the same stuff that we had on the wood shed before we put up the wood, that tin stuff. So when it rains at night we hear it and it poured the other night i couldn`t believe how loud it was. I`m doing really good here and i have adapted great i just wish i was fluent in Spanish. I love the mission it is really fun. Thanks for all the love and support from everyone back home. Tell everyone i love them and i`m doing great. Elder Tate ( TawTay) Chao
