Letter from Elder Tate!
Hey familia,
How is everyone doing this week? Things are going great here in Bella Union. I am glad to here that everything is going awesome with Cole. Yes i got the pics that you sent of him. He looked like a pretty big boy but i don´t know if the pics made him look like that. How much longer will he be in the hospital? I can´t believe that this Saturday is the 4th of July, i remember being in the MTC and watching the fireworks last year the time has really gone by fast.
About the whole scarf thing don´t worry about sending anything down to me it is fine. By the time i got here it would already be warm. The weather is changing down here the people have told me that 15-20 years ago there were 4 seasons but now there are only two. Really it is true because i got here in august and it was cold and by September it was warm so there is only 2 more months of cold weather and then it will just be hot the whole time.
That is cool that you have all of these oportunidades to serve in the temple. I really miss the temple i hope i can go soon. Mom are you going on the young women's camp out? Did you get another calling? Have fun, that is one thing that i do miss a lot is the outdoors. I can´t wait to go camping again.
We had two investigators in church yesterday and they are progressing really good. We should have had a couple more but one of them her mom died so she was with her family the whole time. But we are teaching this man named Alarico, he is an older man but it is cool because the missionaries taught him along time ago but he didn´t progress and they dropped him but they left the Book of Mormon with him. And the other day we found him and he has read the Book of Mormon twice all of it!!! I asked him what was his favorite part and he told me the part about Captain Moroni. It was really cool and he is progressing great.
I love you all have fun watching the fireworks on the 4th of july. Just think next year i will be there to watch them with you all. I hope that everything is going great and that you are all having fun. I love you have a great week. Chao

Congrats Aaron y Jodi
Hey family,
That is amazing that i am an uncle again. Congratulations Aaron and Jodi that is so cool the Tate name goes on!!! To bad he wasn´t born on the 18th because that was my year mark!!! It is amazing that time has gone by so fast. I really can´t believe it that i will have a little nephew that is a year old when i get home that i haven´t ever seen. That is really cool about the stake presidency they are all great men. So President Metcalf will release me that will be cool.This last week was really cool. We had a conference with Elder Bowen, the president of the area sur America sur. It was unreal it helped me so much as a missionary. He talked about who we are. The work is going really well here in Bella Union. Yesterday we had 7 people in church it was awesome. I hope that all of them will be able to get baptized in a couple of weeks. Elder Arnett and i have a lot in common. We have the same personality, sense of humor, we both love sports, we listen to the same music, he hunts i don´t know we just get along great. We are really close friends.I got the package that you sent me with Elder Pierce´s dad. It was cool because i just happened to be in Salto on divisions and i remembered that Elder Pierce was in Salto visiting with his dad and i called him because he bought a cell phone and they came and delivered the package. It was great i loved everything in it besides one thing……….the scarf. You all know that i am not going to wear that. It looks so gay when the missionaries wear them. I always make fun of them and say somos misioneros de la Iglesia de Jesucristo with a lisp. Other than that it was great. I am going to send some pics of some food i ate and my new comp. I love you all you are the best, i will keep Cole in my prayers. Keep up the great work and have a lot of fun. I love you all chao.

Hello Everyone
Hola familia,
How is everyone doing? Everything is going great here in Bella Union. This last week went by really fast and i can´t believe that it is already my year mark in the mission. This week is going to go by just as fast if not faster because i am doing divisions with the zone leaders until Thursday and on Thursday we are going to paysandú for our sector conference. I hope that i don´t miss the bus this time. Elder Bowen is coming to the conference and it is going to be amazing.So it is so much fun having a new Elder in the mission. His name is Elder Arnett. He is from Walla Walla Washington. He is such a stud i can´t believe that i got so lucky to have him as my comp. It has been so much fun it is amazing because he already speaks Spanish. Well he learned a lot in the MTC in Argentina. We are having so much fun together it really is amazing how much we have in common. Really we are like the same person. I don´t have my camera with me or i would send a couple of pics but i will send some next week. My pants just wore out the fabric is really thin and finally it just wore through. So if you could just put a couple of dollars in the account so that i can buy some new ones. Other than that my clothes are holding out really well. My shirts are pretty off white but they still look good.So i sent a package home with Elder Pierce and i should be getting there in a couple of weeks. I gave him our house number and Elyse´s cell number the package is for everyone so you can both go together and meet Elder Pierce he is such a stud i love that kid.Other than that everything is going normal here in the Guay. I hope that everything works out well with Jodi´s pregnancy i will keep her in my prays. I love you all have fun and work hard. Have you taken the boat out yet? Just have it hitched up in a year from now. I love you all.

I'm such a bad girlfriend!!!!!!
Hi everyone! I have been so neglectful on Taylor's blog! I will not let this happen again. Taylor is doing awesome and is loving the mission. He always has such a great attitude and a love for the work he is doing. In the e-mail we got last week, he really didn't explain the title of his e-mail, but what he means is that he is now a trainer and in the mission a trainer is called the "Dad." There is a lot of missionary lingo that I didn't know existed but I'm learning. :) I'm so excited for this new Elder that is starting his mission because he gets the best companion, Elder Tate! More info to come tomorrow.... gotta love Mondays!
It's a Boy.... I'm going to be a Dad!
Hello everyone,
How has your week been? i can´t believe that it is already change week. the time is really flying by. well i have some news....i don´t know who my next companion is. i have to go down to Montevideo to pick him up on Wednesday. i will be his first comp in the mission field. i´m kind of nervous to train but it is going to be an awesome experience. so i will send you all the information next Monday. but i am staying here in Bella union so that is a good thing. the work is going really well so it should be a great area to train a greeny or oro is what they are called here in the mission.last week i did divisions with the zone leaders down in salto it was really fun. i stayed in the same house as Elder Oswald for 4 days. i had a really cool experience down there. we ended up at a members house and they were watching their 5 month old grandson and all the sudden he started to have a seizure and it went into panic mode in the house. they were getting ready to go to the hospital and i just got the idea to give him a blessing so Elder Tyler and i gave him a blessing and by the end of the blessing he stopped and they took him to the hospital anyway and everything was perfectly fine. i just amazed me how the Lord put us in that house at the right time to help. it was amazing.we went down to salto for p-day last week and it was a lot of fun that is the thing that kind of stinks about being so far away from everyone, we can´t really be part of the zone activities. also i sent home a package with Elder Pierce so you should be getting a call in a couple weeks he is going to bring it by the house or you will meet up with him somewhere. oh another thing one of my pairs of pants got ruined the other day. i blew out the butt and it is unfixable so i am going to buy some in salto so if you could just make sure my account doesn´t get to low because i just took our some money the other day to send home the package. in the package i send home some slipper thing and some alfajors the candy here and some dulce de leche you are going to love it.the weather has cooled off for real this time it is pretty cool but i am in heaven. i love you all and i am so grateful for everything that you do for me. keep up the good work and keep enjoying the sun. i love you all
