this week was awesome. my new son is from Chile from Santiago his name is Elder Segovia. He is great really funny and going to be a great missionary. he is really humble as well, so it is going to be a great cambio with him. we worked really good this week and saw a lot of blessings. on saturday i had one of the coolest experiences of my mission. i got to go back to San Martin my old sector and baptize the wife of one of my best converts. in san martin it was a little tough we were working really hard and doing the best we could but we really didnt see that many fruits for a while, but at the end Dario her husband just started to progress like crazy and got baptized and now she got baptized. he gave his testimony at her baptism and it was so great he shared about tithing, and prayer. but it really was one of the most powerful experiences of my mission. i really felt God´s love and really felt like that all the sacrifices i made and all the work we did was worth it for that one moment. i really know that God answers prayers and really blesses us more than we can ever imagine if we just trust him and never give up. every struggle is for our good and in the end if we endure it well it will be for our good. it was just an amazing experience. i know that God really does love us and wants us to be happy and that every trial we have is for our good. the mission is like the movie karate kid sometimes, where you have all these rules and are doing all this things that you dont understand why but as you keep waxing on and off you develop skills and talents that you never thought about and you progress and then you look back and understand why you had to go through all those drills and training. the mission is the best, really if there is one thing that i have learned is that obedience is the key to success and that when we obey we are blessed. i know that sounds really simple but its true. thanks for everything love you lots Elder Brimhall
