this week was really fast. like i said last week we went and had a whole mission activity which was really fun. tuesday we had our district zone conference which we have every week. wednesday a companionship came to sleep in our house because thursday we had another conference in concepcion. thursday we went to concepcion for the conference. friday i had to do an intercambio in los angeles. saturday i returned from the intercambio, and today monday i had to go to concepcion again to do some paperwork for my visa. so it was a really crazy week lots of travel. last thursday we had a conference just for the leaders of the mission it was really good. Elder Richards who is from the 2 nd quorom of 70 spoke to us. i learned a lot. he shared with us DC 138 where it talks about many spirits that were chosen before this life to come here in this time. in verse 56 it says that many other spirits were chosen along with people such as Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. he turned to us and told us that we are the many others that this verse refers to. it was really powerful. he talked about the importance of the spirit and obedience. it was really really good. this thursday we have another conference with one of the twelve apostoles who is going to talk to our whole mission i have heard rumors about almost every apostle so really i have no idea who is coming but it will be really cool, i am really excited. it is always awesome to get to hear a general authority speak they really do have a special spirit with them, and they always know so much, especial the scriptures. today on the bus to concepcion i read in the last conference the talk by Elder Oaks about desires. i really liked it. he says that to become a celestial being we have to develop the attributes of celestial beings. that is what i have realized on my mission, it really matters the person we are, our nature. its not just about doing the right thing, its about changing, and doing the right thing for the right reason because we love God and want to please Hiim. everything here in the sector is really good, there are cambios in 2 weeks and i think sadly i am going to leave but we are going to just keep working hard and make sure we finish strong. thanks for everything, love you lots
with love
Elder Brimhall
