I don`t have a lot to tell this week. As far as the work goes my companion was still in a lot of pain so we took it easy. Super fun kid and we had some good times but I am really excited to get back to work! I am in Caleta right now and my new companion will get here tomorrow. He is from here I think Mar de Plata but I`m not sure. Oh by the way I am staying another transfer. Yep that`s 6 months in my first area. I guess in other missions that is not that big of a deal but here its a lot! The mission is big so there is always a lot of movement! As you already know my little town isn`t very exciting, but I am staying positive and the truth is I am really comfortable there! Julio, a member that I know really well, he`s like my older brother he`s so freaking funny and we chill all the time. And then Milton, Noelia, and Frida are progressing a ton and so hopefully we`ll see some miracles there in the next 6 weeks. Gave a talk on Sunday. Super fun giving a talk in a different language because it eliminates a lot of the fear of like giving a regular talk. I feel like you can say a lot more stuff because you aren`t so stressed out. I talked about the atonement and it was super cool. Just want to say that I know that the mission really is the Lord`s work. That He really knows us and is looking out for me down here every minute of every day. I have learned a lot of things from the mission already, but one of the most important is something I have felt ever since I got to the MTC. That is the love our Father in Heaven really has for us. I cannot explain it and I am a way more positive and caring person now because of it. Super grateful for everything and everyone and want you all to know I am happy, healthy, and safe. ¨And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.¨ 2 Nephi 25:26 ¨I have Charity for my people, and great faith in Christ, that I shall meet many souls spotless at his judgement-seat.¨ 2 Nephi 33:7 ¨Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand, For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works.¨ Jacob 4:10 que tengan una linda semana!
