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...

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
