Weekly Email (10/16/2017)

Hello Mom and Dad! How have you all been? Looks like you all had fun in California and up in Pinetop! I'm glad you all had fun and I hope and pray for you all always!

I mailed the iPod and the cord thing together... I guess someone just stole the iPod when I had tried to send it back home. That's pretty unfortunate and I hope that person realizes the guilt and shame in stealing. But thank goodness for repentance right?

You got me a T-shirt?! I can only imagine what it might be. I should be fine with the jacket you sent me so it'll be great (hopefully). I'll let you know through email if I need another one or something else. 

I have no idea about Jacob's farewell but when I find out I'll make sure to let you know!

I've heard from Rebekah every now and then, she is having a blast up in Provo BYU!

I have had the opportunity to play "chair soccer" which is pretty much hitting chairs as the goals with a soccer ball, it was pretty fun. And so many other games for Zone Activity on P-Day and its just so entertaining!

Elder Olson is from Castle Rock Colorado and has been in his mission for now 16 months, he is finishing my training as a missionary in Victorville. He LOVES Star Wars and a lot of the games I loved playing, and also movies. We may have stayed up past the time we are supposed to go to bed but we are getting along SUPER WELL. And just on top of that, we enjoy some of the same hobbies and just working together in the work we have. In just one week with him we have had SO MANY potential investigators for learning more of the gospel and learning what we have to share with people.

People are looking for happiness in their lives, people are looking for something happy in this world full of negatives and positives, they are looking for a hope. There are a lot of religions that offer some hope but its confusing to people, they may not want to change, they are maybe scared of what we say because it is new. But one thing is always true, Jesus Christ was the perfect example of a loving character, just like our Father in heaven.

Love, 
Elder Brimhall

- Maybe instead of an iPod shuffle maybe the one that actually has a smaller screen or something? Otherwise I'll think of something. And yup I have a couple pictures, but I have been slacking suuuuper hard on that stuff. I also figured out when I cook turkey bacon it tastes like popcorn...

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...

Dear Elder Brimhall, Hey bud! Hope you're doing a bit better than last week. Last weeks email was hard to read...but I'm also grateful that you're sharing what you're feeling. I hope you can continue to be that open and honest with us. Please don't stop writing. I don't think I could handle that. We got to talk to President Taylor again on Friday night. He said that he had just talked to you and you seemed to be doing a bit better. He said that counseling seemed to be helping some too. Do you feel like your counselor is a good fit with you? Bryson is going to counseling weekly too and I've noticed he seems to be doing quite a bit better. We went to dinner at Karli's house tonight. Garrett turned 12 last week and received the Aaronic priesthood today. Crazy to believe that Grant is next for that. We had 3 different kinds of soups, homemade rolls, and then Karli had made a double chocolate layer cake with crumbled up Heath candy bar on top. Pre...

I heard about that from another email and all those posts on Facebook about it. Tell her I send her my best wishes and prayers for them. Be safe on the way there! That was fun to hear about Grant though, he'll become a superstar the more he works at it, and that basketball court will help out, tell him when I get back I'll ball with him!  Concerning that jacket, just something more casual, the only one I have is that big one from the beginning so its can get warm. Just something for the preparation days or just lounging around at night. Probably should have but more information on that request, my bad! You can have Bryson pick something out, I'll make sure to email him today and maybe he'll do the same. We had some really cool things happen this week though. We started teaching this older couple, Ralph and Terry, and they are such great people. Ralph is currently in a wheelchair because he lost a foot, and I swear the jokes he cracks are phenomenal. This is my f...
