this week was really good, we ended the cambio really good and worked really well. we got cambios this week and i am leaving to San Martin which is a ward in Los Angeles which is a pretty big city. i am really excited. when i first got my cambio President Martinez called me and told me i was going to Pitrufquen which is the very bottom of the mission, and told me i was going to zone leader there. i was a little nervous because i still havent been in the south of the mission yet and apparentlly it is a lot harder there, at least that is what i have heard, and they baptize a lot less. so i was getting myself all excited about goign to the south and working hard, and then the zone leaders called me to tell me i am going to san martin to still be a zone leader but of Los Angeles south. i am really excited i think it will be a great chance to grew and progress more. in all my cambios so far it has been exactly what i have needed to progress and get better. my last companion was a little harder but i really did learn so much from him and am really grateful that i was able to be his companion. the Lord really does know the beginning from the end and knows exactly where He needs you and with who. i am going to be with Elder Plier who is awesome i have always wanted to be his companion, we are good friends, so i am really excited to work with him. i feel really blessed. the mission is the best. you go through hard times and struggles but afterward you really do receive more blessings than you have room for. something that i have been doing this week that has helped me this week is talking more about joseph smith, a lot of times people here in chile think that we worship him and that he is our god, so sometimes we avoid talking of him and talk more of christ, but this week i made a point to bear my testimony in every contact about joseph smith and it really does make so much of a difference. you really do feel the spirit as you bear your testimony no matter how simple your testimony is, but even more so when you bear it of the Restoration of the Gospel. i am really excited and feel really blessed. everything is going awesome. I love the mission so much and couldnt imagine being anywhere else.
love you all
Elder Brimhall
