(3rd P-Day) 17 Days In I Think

Hey Mom! Hey Dad!

Yeah I got the phone you sent except if I'll try and use a Payphone or something else but if thats not the case I'll use the phone for the time that I am limited to.

MTC Departure is August 28 and we checkout of the Travel Office at 11:50am. We are flying on Delta Airlines Flight 4765 from Salt Lake City to Ontario California the times are 5:17pm to 6:08pm so I think timezone difference has something to do with that. Also 23 people are in my travel group including me so thats a LOT of fun!

Thats pretty funny with Grant, its alright that he doesn't remember the name but if it happens again just let Bryson try and help him figure out who it was. (There should be a Username or something and I could think of who it is). 

Sounds like Savannah had a FANTASTIC time with her friends, I'm glad everything is going well for her and hopefully she starts school strong and keeps improving in her dance performances! Let her know I'm silently praying for everyone to do well!

That concert sounds like a ton of fun! Hopefully Bryson enjoys it a lot, also have him check his Email, I emailed him and he never responded.

Don't worry about the $500 too much, my Debit card that I have still from Wells Fargo should have enough to pay for that. But I can't wait till I'm actually in Rancho Cucamonga California! I met a couple Sisters that are going to be serving there but I still have yet to find more than half of the people going to serve there. (I've found about 8 people going to serve besides Me).

The Missionary Training Center has been a crazy experience and I've learned a lot more than I thought I ever would. Roleplaying with teachers and actually teaching Investigators that want to learn what we have to teach. But I learned its more than just teaching a lesson, we are teaching by the Spirit and being God's servants. I'm learning to put God first before myself and it helps me focus so much and I know He can work through me. Not only that God knows the people I serve more than I ever will, so if I listen to the Spirit I can truly help them feel God's love for them and invite them to learn more!

Its crazy that I only get to be here for 19 Days then I'm in the field... I'm so freaking excited and just am burning with anticipation. Also I'm praying for my Trainer to be great, wanna be able to start off with at least a good beginning. 

From your Elder,
Jarom Brimhall

PS: I got to greet a whole lot of new missionaries that came in 3 Days ago that are serving in Gilbert Arizona so that'll be fun!

Forgot to ask, I may need some more Short sleeved shirts since I found out that most of my mission is literally just Desert. I'll let you know the first P-Day that I'm there.

We had a mission conference yesterday so our preparation day got switched today for the time being. But we might be having a temple trip sometime this next month in November, but I'll try and warn you and everyone in advance. I honestly dont know if I will, just thinking about it makes me queasy. I know that trials are for the better, but I really really really want it to be done. Truly. I'm going to be sending a letter to the Mulder's sometime today or tomorrow, cause I am thankful for them. I dont even know anymore honestly.  Yeah I heard about Elder Noorlander's little brother coming to the mission a couple weeks back. Everyone here was honestly shocked, because as far as I know that's never happened. He comes into the mission sometime in December I believe. Well my new companion is Elder Singleton, and as far as I am concerned I hope and pray I only stay with him for this one and only transfer. He was trained by actually my trainer (my 2nd one), Elder Chris

Yup transfers happened today and Elder McLaughlin is leaving to go finish training another Elder who just came out 6 weeks ago. He'll do great out there, I'm getting Elder Johnson (he came out into the mission when I was in my 4th transfer in Ontario) and he's from North Carolina! I've served around him quite a bit so this'll be fun! I think PDay will still be the same. We can email from our phones and not everything is closed so it'll be fine, what holiday is coming up? I don't know anything so far as of right now concerning my mission reassignment. It'll probably be talked about later in the future, still up in the air but I believe President Taylor has been talking with the neighboring missions concerning what'll happen.  Mary did pass her baptismal interview though this past Wednesday! She's super excited for her baptism coming up really soon. We started making her baptismal program for her and inviting everyone we know to come and attend.

Alright Question time: 1. How'd the week go? Well we had zone conferences so we had it in the desert and the valley so that took out a good chunk of time during the day. But I was able to learn a lot regarding studies and how can we get more out of them. After all the purpose of studying is rooting ourselves more in the gospel and replenishing our understanding. I feel like if we have a purpose of why we are studying or praying to learn about new things it'll be given unto us. 2. Anything exciting? Well recently our mission and a couple missions ran into a little problem. All the missions with technology using the MaaS360 app had a pretty harsh thing happen. Somehow all the apps or things we use got disabled and removed so we no longer have our Area Book Planner, Facebook Messenger, and a ton of other apps that are to make the work move forward. Lots of missionaries called us this morning. I counted 22 phone calls and 11 text messages from all different missionaries
