Letter #6 Made it to first area El Campo Blanco/ Vega de la Torre

 I made it to the field! My companion's name is Elder Marquez and he is from Argentina. It's pretty hot here. I haven't been here too long, but I know that I've still got a long way to go with Spanish. 

We just had lunch with a member a while ago and their house was nicer than I expected. Nice family too. We spent all day yesterday and today riding buses so I don't have a lot to say, but I have a couple pictures from this week and last. More should come eventually, but I don't know when.
My testimony of Christ:

Christ has performed countless acts of immeasurable love for us. Creating the Earth, Establishing His gospel here, Suffering for all that we've done wrong, and (clearly) more. Beyond that He is also our Brother. I know because of those examples as well as through the witness of the Holy Ghost that He loves us. He is, has been, and will always be ready to hear our cries and answer our prayers. That being said I also know that we have to trust in the timing of the Lord when we feel that we're struggling to receive his help. He knows exactly how to best help us because he has suffered it all. He suffered our pains, afflictions, temptations (Alma 7:11-12) so that he could know how to succor his people.
He is the perfect example, teacher, friend, healer, worker. This is because he has perfected the attributes that one needs to be such. Let us all take note of the life of the Savior of the world and strive to become more like Him. As a representative of His sacred name I bear testimony of these things and will continue to do so every day. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
