this week was good. this week is cambios which is always exciting. my companion is leaving and going to Temuco, and i am staying here in lota, which I am really excited about. my new companion i guess is an awesome guy i have talked to several people who knew him and he is awesome. he came in the mission the same time as me, but went to the MTC in Santiago becasue he knew Spanish before. but i am really excited to work with him, i was so happy when i found out my cambio. President Swenson came to our branch this Sunday which was cool. He only has three weeks left. I guess in two weeks we are going to have a big mission conference where the whole mission is going to get together which never happens because the mission is so big and spread out so much. the new presdent is coming in 3 weeks, it is so crazy. Since my companion was leaving the Hermana Juanita who is the old Pastor made so many empanadas and sopaipillas it was crazy i feel so fat right now. Someone stole my camera, i dont know how or where but i definetly dont have it, i was so mad, luckily i made a cd of all my photos up to lota, and my companion is going to make a cd of the photos he has of us together, but i was so mad, but i guess there is nothing you can do about it. tomorrow i am going to concepcion to pick up my new companion tomorrow. my old companion had to go to consejo in Concepcion today so i am in a three some with two other elders still in lota. last night he had to pack so we didnt get to sleep until 12 i am so tired right now. the mission is great i really have learned so much during my time here, and still have so much more to learn and accomplish here. the best part about the mission is that you get to help others change and really become the people that our Heavenly Father wants them to become. The gospel just makes sense, i didnt really appreciate it before, but now i really do. i am so grateful for our Savior who died and suffered for every single one of us, so that we could return and live with our Father in Heaven again. This really is the Lords Church, not the church of a man. I know that Jesus is the Christ and that really he does live. I know that he really does love each one of us so much, more than we can even comprehend. Thanks everyone for your letters and everything love you all.
Love,
Elder Brimhall
