Hola Everyone,
How are you doing? All is GREAT here in the Guay. I’m glad you all liked the pictures they are pretty fun. I’m going to start sending pictures over email a lot more now that I have the cords. That is pretty funny that we killed chickens last week it was one of those experiences that I will never forget. My comp did ok with it. He killed them and gutted them but he had to talk himself into doing it. It was pretty hard I had to pull as hard as I could to kill it. I think if I were to do it again I would do it like we do with the ducks and just hold the head and spin them that way. It wasn’t the lady that we built a chicken coop for. We helped a man named Miguel Florres he is the secretary in the ward. Last Wednesday he brought over some of the chicken for us to try. It was really good but not all of it was meat some of it was the stomach it was a little different but not bad. I wouldn’t choose to eat it again but if I had to I would do it. I can’t believe how fast this change is going. We are already into the fourth week crazy. Just in case I forget to tell you the last p-day of the change in on Tuesday so if you don’t get an email don’t worry it will come on Tuesday. Olga got baptized yesterday it was awesome. I love having baptisms but usually they are really stressful. Because our ward mission leader doesn’t like to do a whole lot. So it all falls on us. But it was really good. We are going to baptize Felicio (Olga’s husband) this next week it will be great. That is so cool that Donald has seats in it. But not cool at all that you haven’t had a real successful hunt yet. Remember the day after thanksgiving was the best day last year so the ducks should come in pretty soon. Or maybe it is just because I’m not there; I must be the lucky one. That is so cool that Brad can go pro. That is awesome. Is he going to play in the tournaments close to Utah or what? Dad is so lucky he always gets to go do things because of his Job. He got to go back east and do that military thing and he gets to golf at one of the nicest courses in Utah. What a Job he just plays all day. How is the wrestling team going to be this year? You have to have at least one state champ a year Mike and I started the pattern. It is getting pretty hot here. Before it rains it gets really humid and I sweat like none other I’m going to be soaked in sweat all summer long. I don’t have sun screen but they let us wear the straw hats so I’m going to buy one. My arms are as dark as they have ever been and my stomach and back are as white as they have ever been. I have the worst tan line. Some things you could send for Christmas would be maybe a new tie or something because all those ties we bought at that store in South Towne mall are pretty cheap, or a tie buddy one of those things that keep you tie from blowing in the wind. Oh one thing I do need is a new white tie. Because mine turned yellow it wasn’t supposed to get wet. Everything is going great here keep having fun and working hard. Thanks for all you do for me I love you all. Chao su Elder Elder Tate
It is hot here
Howdy everyone,
I have to tell you what Elder McClellan and I did this morning. We killed chickens with a member in the ward and plucked off the feathers and gutted them and everything. It was a different experience but it was so much fun. The worst part about doing it is when we broke the chicken’s neck. All we did was grab the feet and the head and start to pull and the neck would pop and then all the sudden you would feel the head separate from the neck. It felt pretty gross. I guess that it was the closest thing that I will do to hunting since it is that season. I think the charger for robo-duck was in my desk. I don’t know where it would be know. We had a couple of investigators in church this last week. It was kind of hard because we had Stake Conference and it was in the Stake Center so it was a little farther for the people to walk. But after the conference we had a baptism. I baptized Diana Pereira. It went a lot better than the one a week ago. Our area is doing really well it is a lot of fun. The people tell me that I’m becoming a Lamanite. I already am really dark and it isn’t even summer yet. I have the worst tan line it is so funny to look at myself in the mirror. The weather here is getting hot. It is defiantly short sleeve weather. I have to tell you a story. Last Friday we were out clapping houses and we saw this old man sitting in front of his house and we thought lets go talk to him. So we went over there and started up the conversation. He didn’t want anything to do with us and was telling us to leave and so we were just going to ask for a reference to see if he knew anyone that we could stop by and visit. But he tried to just get up and walk away from us. But anyway he started to get up and he just timbered and fell over and his glasses flew off I thought for sure he was hurt. I asked podemos ayudarle and then he started yelling at us and wouldn’t let us help I felt so bad I hope he didn’t break anything. That is so cool that you met Elder Hansen. He was the biggest stud. I think he might have talked me up a little bit. But we had a lot of fun together. I do have some people ask if I am from Chile. I don’t think I talk that good but it is coming along really well.How are the Rams doing in football this year? What is Utah ranked? Or are they ranked? Everything is going really well down here in the Guay. Keep up the good work back home I’m so grateful for everything you do for me. Have fun and work hard it is the trick to life. I love you all. Tengan un buen día chao Elder Tate
P.S. I hope you like the pictures. Also I have heard that it you are going to send a package use the flat rate boxes because they usually never get opens but the others do.

I wish it would snow here!
Hey family,
How is everything? Everything is going great here in T-bo. Maria Rosano was baptized last Saturday. I have to tell you what happened. Hermano Sosa is our ward mission leader and he was going to fill up the font for us at 4 o’clock because the service was at 5 30. Elder McClellan and I were walking back to change into our suits and we see Hermano Sosa and he told us the there wasn’t gas to run the Califon so we weren’t going to have the baptism. But there was gas the whole time he just couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. So we went and turned it on and had the baptism an hour and a half late. It went well it was just a joke trying to get everything done. Yesterday some drunk guy was yelling at us and telling us to go back to our own country it was really funny. The weather here is getting hot. It has rained really hard here yesterday and today but I love preaching in the rain. I liked the package you sent next week I’m going to try to send some pictures. That is awesome that Aaron got a job in Utah, and they are going to be living with Elyse. She will love that. That stinks that Dad and Taylor can’t ever go duck hunting. It is because I’m not there. Is there still a little leak in Donald? Be safe and have a lot of fun on Thursday. What gun is Taylor using? He can use mine if he doesn’t have one. Our investigators are doing ok. We didn’t have a lot in church it was a huge bummer but they will come this next week. My Spanish has gotten a lot better in the last couple of weeks because I talk a lot more and understand almost all of it. I don’t understand every word but I can understand the concepts. I love speaking Spanish. I hope you can go see Elder Hansen’s homecoming. I sent my picture card home with him. Tell him thanks for all he did for me and for his great example. Have a great week and remember I love you all. Elder Tate

Another week from the Guay
Hola mi familia,
How are you all doing this week? Did you like conference? I thought it was so good. I thought the talks were short though. Did you hear the talk by Elder Aidukaitis? That is what our zone conference was like for two and a half hours. I loved President Monson´s talks. So my new compainion is Elder McClellan. He is from southern California. He has been on his mission for one year. His year mark is this Friday. This is his first time being senior comp. We get along really well. We were able to teach some lessons this week with a couple of our investigators. We teach really well with each other. It is fun because now i teach a little bit more with Elder McClellan than i did with Elder Hansen. My spanish is coming along really well. I think by the time i get to call you for Christmas i will be able to speak really good. I talked with Elder Oswald the other week he is doing great. He got transfered to Rivera, so i will see him in a couple of weeks at the zone conference. The zones from Artigas, Rivera, and Tacaurembó all get together for zone conference. We had a baptism last Saturday between the sessions of conference. Daniel was baptized by Elder Hansen it was a great experience. Elder Hansen´s parents were there and i got to meet them. They are great people. I got the package you sent with them thank you. We had a couple of investigators in conference and the said they loved it. Everything is going great here. That stinks that you couldn´t go duck hunting. I think it is funny that Dad brings Taylor and Jess so he can kill 14 more ducks. Do you think Dad will get another dog? I think he should. That is awesome that Aaron is almost graduated from school. I hope he gets the job in Las Vegas or Utah. How is Ali and Taylor doing? The weather is getting hot here. It is crazy to think it is getting cold in Utah. I have heard that it gets up to 50 degrees celcius here. I´m going to sweat to death. I hope Dad´s team does well this week. I love you all thanks for all the support and love. Work hard and have fun. Tengan una buena semana. Les Amo muchisimo.

Hola Familia
Hey family how are you all doing? We had a really good week here. We had two baptisms Fabio and José last Saturday they went really well. We had 9 investigators in church this week it was so cool to see all of them sitting there and paying attention. It is crazy that it is almost conference, time is flying by. It is changes this week and I can’t believe that Elder Hansen is going home. I’m kind of nervous because I don’t know this mission without him but I’m excited also. I’m not leaving I’ll sill be here in T•bo but I will be with Elder McClellan he comes in tonight at midnight. I don’t know anything about him so I’ll answer those questions next week. P•day during change week is on Tuesday so that is why I’m emailing today. Our investigators are doing really well we should have some good baptisms this coming change. Every time we have a baptism it is the coolest feeling to see them take this step in their lives. Elder Hansen came with Elder Stobbe but they weren’t in the same district in the MTC. I don’t think you spanked me that much Ali is exaggerating. The names of our investigators are Olga, Felicio, Daniel, Blanca, Eduardo, Maria, Carla, and Damian. Those are the ones that are progressing. I can’t believe that it is already time to go get wood. And that Donald is in the backyard again. We had so much fun last year with that. I will miss hunting. That is cool that dad’s golf team took second. How is highland doing this year in football? P•days here we get up and do our studies as if it were a normal day and then we clean the house up and then go to the cyber (email). Sometimes we get together with the other missionaries and do an activity or something we have a lot of fun together. So that waterproof coat isn’t exactly 100% waterproof. It rained yesterday and it kept out 90% of the water. It is starting to get hot here and I get pretty sweaty. Elder Hansen tells me that in the summer it is like 110 or more plus humid I’m going to die. My Spanish is getting pretty good. I still stumble but it is really fun, the people are so nice and help me with it. I did divisions with Elder Pierce and Elder Drishinski last week. Elder Pierce is one of the zone leaders we walked so much that day it was a lot of fun though. With Elder Drishinski he only has two changes in the mission and his Spanish isn’t that good. So we walked around and tried to speak to people it was so much fun. We taught some good lessons and the people understood it was so much fun. Well I better end it for this week I love you all and I’m so grateful for all that you have done for me. Tengan una buena semana. Love your Elder. Chao Elder Tate
