this was an amazing week we saw so many miracles. i got my cambio and i am going to train again. i really enjoyed it so it will be fun to do it again. i wanted to but i didnt think i would because there were only 3 news coming and i had already trained twice, but president called me again so hopefully it all works out again. new missionaries are always great they come with such great excitement and have no limits to what they can accomplish. in life there is no ceiling only the ceiling we put, we really can accomplish anything with God´s help, but with time sometimes we lose a little of our faith, but it is always important to remember that with the Lord´s help anything is possible. today we went to concepcion to say goodbye to a couple of my friends that are going home Elder Lewis is actually from Thatcher and is going home right now, he is a really good guy, also my favorite companion Elder Pliler. our sector is doing really well, the branch is a little lazy still but the district president came down and gave a couple of palos so hopefully that lights a fire in some of the members. there are a lot of people that try to justify not completing with their callings to spend time with their family. but there is time for both it is just a matter of planing out your time. i have really learned the importance of service in the mission. when we serve everyone wins, us, the Lord, and the people we serve, if we dont we all lose. it really all comes down to how converted we are to the gospel. if we are truly converted we will want to help others and share what we have with others members, inactive, and non members we all need the gospel. Heavenly Father doesn´t just want an elect few of his children to be saved, He wants all His children to be saved, He loves us all and wants us all to get eternal life, but He relys on us as his tools to help Him in this great task. i can personally testify of the great blessings we receive when we help in this great work when we forget about ourselves and serve others is when we really gain the most and are the happiest. I know this truly is a great and marvellous work that has started and that the Lord needs each and every one of us to help it grow. if i can say one thing it would be to MAGNIFY YOUR CALLING it doenst matter where you serve or what you do, give the very best you have and you will never regret it. one day we will have to appear before the Lord in the Judgement Day and have to give an accounting of all the opportunities we had to serve in his kingdom and what we did with them. This is the truth i feel it in every bone and know that it is true with assurety. thanks for everything Elder Brimhall
