Wow, another cambio gone. Tomorrow I am going to Concepcion to pick up my new companion. It is kind of sad that i couldnt have stayed with Elder Palmer he was really really awesome but it is always cool to get another companion and get to learn from someone else, every companion has different lessons and skills that you can learn. So yesterday and today we have been going around to investigators and members so that my companion can say good bye. everyone here in Chile when they greet they usually give you a kiss on the cheek. today we were walking on the street, and this drunk lady stopped us in the street and shook my hand and was leaning forward so i would kiss her. so i just leaned back. then she went over to my companion and like pulled him in and almost kissed him on the cheek but then he pulled back, then she came back to me and tried to pull me so we just waved to her and started walking of as fast as we could. it was pretty crazy. in chile they have these things kind of like a huge garage sale, where everyone comes and brings vegetables, fruit, fish, eggs, pretty much everything and they have it every week. there are always a ton of people there. so anyway me and my companion went and he talked to this guy about buying a leather belt, and they guy was trying to get 8 mil off of him which is like 16 dollars and my companion got him down to 4 and a half but didnt have the money so we came back the next week. then the guy was like i usually sell these belts for 5 ad a half but i like you guys and for that i am selling them to you for 4 and a half. we just left but were thinking whatever you were trying to sell it for 8. it was interesting. everyone hear thinks that all the missionaries are really rich so they always raise the prices alot. but what can you do. everything here is great i ll have to let you know next week how it is with my new companion but i am sure that it will all be good and that we will have a good time together. and work hard. thanks for everything love you all
love,
Elder Brimhall
