this week was good. we had to change the hour on sunday which i still dont understand, losing an hour of sleep but everyone else seems to think that it is awesome so i will just go along with it, but arizona is so much better. when church started on sunday there were like 10 people it was a little scary we werent sure if they were going to come or not, but 45 people ended up coming. its not amazing but the assistance has improved a lot, and the branch is doing really well. what causes some problems is that the branch president is a convert of 1 and a half years. he is awesome though, and knows a ton. he studied with the missionaries two years before he got baptized. but anyway some of the people dont respect him or think that he isnt qualified because he has so little time in the church. what i have learned though in the mission is that very rarely are you totally prepared for an assignment in the church. we receive them to help us grow and help us become better. we have to have patience with our leaders and realize that they have weaknesses just like everyone else. the only people that you think are perfect are the people that you dont know very well.but anyway the branch is doing a lot better. today we went out to the boonies with our best investigator. he is awesome and took us out to see his family. they live out in the middle of nowhere but they are all really nice. they are all catholics so he was a little worried what they were going to say but they were all really nice. so everything is going really well. this is the last week of cambios and i think that my companion is going to leave i hope not but i am pretty sure. so hopefully my next companion is really cool as well.
Sincerely
Elder Brimhall
