Hola mi familia,
¿Cómo están? Esta semana pasada fue más o menos porque no tuvimos un bautismo. Pero vamos a tener 2 o 3 bautismos esta semana que viene. GO UTES. Those pictures are AWESOME I loved them. Did Mark kill an Elk this year to if so see if you can send me the pictures? That was so much fun last year I miss hunting but I LOVE THE MISSION. We had 11 investigators in church yesterday we were so blessed. Out of those 11, 7 of them have baptismal dates is change is going to be great. We are still working with Felicio the problem we have with him is that he works on Sundays in Campaña with bees. They are harvesting the honey right now so he can’t really come to church or at least that is his excuse. Was the game crazy last week? That would have been so fun. I’m glad that they won because almost everyone is a BYU fan. How has it been having Aaron, Jodi, and Zoe living down the street? It is weird to have the whole family living so close. I bet it is a lot of fun. Is Zoe getting big? She is so cute. So this last week went by really fast I swear weeks just fly by in the mission. Can you believe that I have been on my mission for over 5 months? Crazy! My Spanish is getting good. I can have a conversion with anyone now. It is weird to be speaking a different language but way fun. The weather here isn’t too bad but it is getting hot I think that I’m getting used to it. It is hot enough that when we are sitting in lessons I can fell sweat running down my back and we have to sleep with a fan blowing on us. It is good I have some sweet tan lines. I’m so white. I'm going to try to send a package to everyone some time soon what would you all want. They have those Brazilian sandals that Aaron sent home does anyone need some? If not I’ll think of something. I love you all and I hope that everything is going great back home. Keep up the good work and always have fun. Thanks for all the support and love. I love you all. Chao Elder Tate
GO UTES
Hola mi familia,¿Cómo andan?
Everything is going great here in Uruguay. Right now I’m in Montevideo. I have to sign a couple of papers for my Carne de Salud, so that I can become legal. It has been really hot here but right now it is a little chilly. But yes I have been a sweaty Elder, but it isn’t just me all the Elders sweat bad. I think it is really funny because I’m becoming Latin a little. I have a thing of Axe spray deodorant and I use it sometimes, not as much as the Latinos use it. We had a good week this last week. We had a sweet family in church yesterday. We found them last Monday mas o menos and they came to church it was awesome. It is a mom and a grandma and two twins that are 11 years old. It was sweet. Also we had a baptism last Saturday. We baptized a girl named Mikaela. It was a good week. We have some good investigators that are progressing right now. Did you like the pics I sent last week? We were eating at the Carlos Gardel Hotel. It is probably the nicest place to eat in t-bo. It is so good. What happened was I was on divisions with Elder Pierce and our lunch appointment fell through so we decided to go there it was worth it. I had some grilled chicken that was so good. Don’t worry I don’t eat there every week, like once every two months or so. We don’t eat a ton of bread here but defiantly more than we eat in the States. There is bread for every meal but it isn’t like American bread it is more like a cracker thing, they are pretty good. We are going to paint a members house this Thursday morning. Pretty fun huh. We usually try to do service like once a week or so but most weeks we don’t ever have anything to do. The other services that I have done are building a chicken coop and cut weeds. I can’t wait to see real grass again. In front of the houses here all it is is weeds and they use a weed whacker to cut them. They mow their lawn with a weed whacker. It is a talent that they have. That is cool that Aaron and Jodi are going to move up this week. Are they excited? That will be really good for Elyse to have someone in the house with her. I hope that Zoe is ready for the winter. I can’t wait to get my letter next week to see who won the Big Football Game. Go Utes. You have to tell me who wins the high school championships also. I love you all and I’m so grateful for all the love and support that you give me thank you. I always pray for you and I LOVE THE GUAY. Thanks for all you do. Chao su Elder Elder Tate

I love pictures!!!
I love how Taylor can now e-mail pictures to us. Monday's are great as it is because of the e-mails but when I see that he sent pictures the day becomes even better! I love seeing him, he always looks so good. The first picture is of the baptism he had this past Saturday of Silvia and her daughter Milagros. The second picture is of Taylor and my cousin (from my mom's side) Skyler Oswald. I was really excited to finally see a picture of them together. I still can't believe that they are in the same mission. That is awesome. Then the last picture is of Taylor and an elder named Elder Peirce that he was doing divisions with that day. They are eating dinner at a really nice restaurant in T-bo called the Carols Gardel Hotel. I'm glad to see that Taylor is still able to drink my favorite drink coke zero. Good on ya! Taylor is doing absolutely awesome. He is such an example to me and I am so thankful to him. I love ya Tay!

Hola, Mi Familia
¿Cómo Están? I hope that everything is going great. This last week went by really fast. We had Sector Conference on Tuesday and it was really good. I saw Elder Oswald it was so fun to see him and talk to him. He has lost a lot of weight. I guess that is what the Guay does to you. I think it is because we don’t eat dinner. We eat breakfast and a huge lunch and then for dinner we have a little snack. I have lost a good amount of weight also. I think I’m almost down to wrestling weight. But don’t worry I eat a ton. I don’t know how I’m loosing weight. Every Thursday we eat with Manuela and she feeds us more food than I have ever eaten EVEY WEEK. I feel like I’m going to vomit after. We had two baptisms this last Saturday, a mom Silvia and her daughter Milagros. It was really awesome to see there conversion. At first they didn’t want anything to do with the church and Silvia was smoking. We were about to drop them but we got them to come to church one time just to see what it was like. They came and it just happened to be the day we had our Stake Conference and we heard a talk by President Erying and Elder Scott. After that we had a baptism and they went to that also and from that day on the wanted to get baptized. It was so awesome.I’m staying here for at least one more change, with Elder McClellan. I am really excited because our area is going really good. Elder McClellan and I get along really good. We have some things in common he played sports in high school. He played Soccer and Volleyball. So I will be here in T-bó at least one more change. It is kind of fun the week before changes I get a little nervous because you don’t know what is going to happen. But we find out Monday night what is going to happen.Everything is going great down here the weather is HOT. I’m going to be one sweaty elder this summer. I miss the snow and mountains. Other than that I LOVE IT HERE. My Spanish is getting really good. I can communicate enough that I can say anything I just have to describe it and then they usually understand. But I understand almost all of it. I hope you all are having fun and enjoying life. I love you all. Elder Tate

Howdy Everyone,
How is everyone doing? Everything is going really well here in T-bo. I can’t believe that it is already November. Time really is flying by. What did you all do for Halloween? Down here they call it día de las Brujas (day of the witches) but they don’t really do anything for it. It was kind of stupid all they do here in T-bo is go to dances which aren’t the most wholesome and they drink mate (ma tay). But everyone drinks mate here it is ridiculous. It looks like grass and all they do is put it in a cup and they have a thermal of hot water and they fill the cup and drink the water through a bombilla (the straw thing that doesn’t let the llerba get through). I’m glad I grew up in the U.S. because we actually have things to do. But the missionary work is going great. We didn’t have a baptism this week because Felicio couldn’t get off of work. But other than that everything is going great. We had 4 investigators in church and we are having a lot of fun. We are working hard and it is paying off. The weather is getting a little hot but not way bad. It is defiantly short sleeve shirt weather but some days it is a little chilly. It cools off at night a lot I have to use the blankets still. Elder Hansen told me that in the summer it is so hot at night that you have a fan on you always and still in the morning your sheets and everything is still soaked. Last summer in Artigas it was 50 degrees Celsius which is like 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You think Las Vegas is hot. Las Vegas is dry heat here it is humid. Hopefully I don’t go there for the summer. I think that I’ll stay here with Elder McClellan for one more change. But who knows. Changes are next week so P-day is on Tuesday so I will be e-mailing then. I hope everything is going great back home. We taught a lesson to a guy yesterday and he was asking where we were from and I said I was from lago salado and he had a picture of salt lake and I saw the mountains and I miss the mountains. There is no such thing as a mountain here in the Guay. Keep up the good work I love you all. I hope you are having a fun time together. Chao. Elder Tate
