August 19 2017: Survived a Week and Half (HAHA)


So Missionary life is pretty interesting here in the MTC and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Waking up earlier at like 6:20AM and going to bed around 10:30PM, sometimes longer if we are having some deep or entertaining conversations together at night. Also Mom, THANK YOU for everything you have taught me and pushed me to do, and that Letter, I look at it every now and then because its a great pick me up if I ever get doubtful at what I'm trying to do here at the MTC. So I know I'll do my absolute best for the people of Rancho Cucamonga (when I do get there) which is like coming up pretty quickly now that I think about it. Time has reaaaaaally flown by when you are in tune with the spirit and hard at work (while also enjoying some laughs together as a Zone/District).

We got the start doing something called TRC (Training Research Center) which is we teach investigators about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and lessons pertaining what we can share with them. But I noticed that its a LOT harder than it looks (mostly because its a new thing I'm learning) but we get 2 Investigators which we get to teach for 30 mins during 4 Days of the week, its pretty crazy not gonna lie. I'm glad to be able to participate in this though because  feel like I get an understanding of what it'll be like in the field, but I get to really LOVE them. I get to know things about them, their family, their life, and just be able to be there for them in a way. I get to share them the love of Christ and teach them the doctrines and gospel and I get to see it in their eyes and smiles. Not only that but the Spirit I feel when I bear my Testimony or hearing my Companions is just like, sends chills done my arms and spine, its amazing.

I got all the Packages and Letters from you guys and I found it pretty funny, you guys brought me more food but I'm getting so well fed (while also eating healthy, well mostly). And I'll try and write those thank you letters and other things for you guys when I get the chance of course, but today is P-Day so I'm bound to have some time. 

Me and my Companion, Elder Furse (James Steheli Furse) have been developing a great relationship and personally I've come to love him more. He is 22 but not only that, his "Missionary Conversion Story" is crazy amazing and I'll have to tell you sometime but I'm limited time on Emails sooooo yeah. 

I'll try and Email more effectively and efficiently as time passes on, but I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

From your Son (duh),
Jarom Brimhall err- Elder Brimhall 

PS: Yes I am taking pictures so I'll send those sometime soooonish, just gotta make sure I send as many emails as possible in my limited time.

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...

Thanksgiving Week!

Hey Mom and Dad! This last week went by pretty slow for me (I think because it was week six of transfers so it felt weird). That's funny that all the kiddos want to sleep in, no more its time to get up and get work boys and girls! You guys already set up the Christmas tree? Nice! Sounds like you guys will be having a blast with the cousins up in Pinetop, make sure to send me some pictures! That's pretty funny that you got called to be the Sunday School President, I'm sure on of those kids is gonna need your help and love while you are fulfilling your calling. Teaching is going pretty interestingly, its the holidays so not many people are home or are with family outside the area but some more people are home so its odd but fun! I'll be spending Thanksgiving with a lesser active family called the Whites and they invited us for dinner so I'm happy for that! The Ward is absolutely amazing, the people are so nice to the missionaries and we practically have a dinner every...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Thanksgiving was really awesome, we had dinner with a family where they have 5 boys and we got to spend our one dinner with them for that night. Got to eat deviled eggs, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, crackers and cheese with ham, chili, some barbecue hotdogs, and lots of other food which was amazing! Everything else over here is going very well though! Although Elder Olson got sick for a day and we had to drive to an Urgent Care outside our zone so that was fun. Elder Olson is pretty much the same height as me and everything, why do you ask? I don't think its cold enough to get any extra layers of clothes or anything but thanks! That's awesome that everyone of the kids is doing well and doing the things they love! Funny how as soon as I leave you start having missionaries over for dinner, maybe we'll have to invite some more when I get back from my mission or something. Um I don't know anything about plans for Christmas yet but I'll email you when I find out the det...
