This week was great. I cant believe it is the last week of the cambio, it went by so fast, probably my fastest yet. My companion is awesome, we get a long really well, i hope that we stay together another cambio but i dont think that will happen. this week i finally had my first robbery attempt.. i know that usually you dont tell your family these experiences until you get home but i promise it was more funny then scary. so we were walking home at 9 30 at night ready to go to the apartment. we had 28 contacts for the day so we wanted to make it an even 30 so just then these two younger kids like 18 walk by, so we stop them to talk with them. then the one was like do you guys have a camera, or a cellphone. we just looked at him weird, and then he started to put his hands in my companions pockets looking for the cell phone which was in my pocket, so then he turns to me and tried to put his hand in my pocket where the phone was. so i just pushed his hand away and told him not to touch me. then my companion was like look your trying to rob missionaries, you dont do this. then the kid put his hand in his pocket and was saying he had a knife and stuff like that. then right then one of the kids friends came up and said hi to us, and started to make fun of his friend that was trying to rob and, so we just laughed and walked away. its not quite as exciting as larry´s stories but it was pretty entertaining. we had our first conference with the new president. he is really cool. i like him a lot, he was really funny and told a lot of jokes, but was also really spiritual. he talked a lot about how the mission marks the rest of your life and that the decisions you make now, have a big affect on your future. hermana martinez talked about faith and about never giving up no matter how hard it gets, just keep going and have faith that in the end everything will work our for the best. she shared her experience on how she got to meet her husband. she was in her 20 looking for her husband and couldn´t find anyone, she was going to the temple every week, to get some direction. then one time she went and looked over on the other side of the room and saw her husband and said it was love at first site, so the blessings of the temple are real lol. so it is sad to see President Swenson leave, but it will be good, we will get to learn from another person, and get different ideas. his mission president in his mission was Elder Zwiff or something like that who is a 70, whose mission president was Elder Scott, so while President Martinez was in the MTC he talked with Elder Scott and he said that he is coming to our mission, which will be really cool. today we played basketball my play has really regressed, but playing in chile makes me look a lot better. lol. it was a lot of fun to play again, i hadnt played for a while since i was in lebu, like 5 months ago. everything is going really well, i will know my cambios next week, hopefully i stay but if not the Lord knows best and will gladly go wherever i am called.
Love you all
Elder Brimhall
