Hey Mom!

Sounds like you and the family have had quite the adventure this past week. Sorry to hear about Grant's arm, hopefully it heals quickly and he will be able to play the sports he loves to play. Those garbage cans can be really mean and rude sometimes, I've almost ran into a couple of them while riding around on my bike as well, so you can let Grant know he isn't the only one who watches out for those.  I wish I could have spent more time with Bryson before I left, that's one thing I plan on doing when everything here is said and done.

Me and Elder de la Torre have been getting along more and more and actually we've been teaching even better in unity and in spirit so its super awesome actually. Plus his Spanish speaking is super useful in this area because there are a lot of Spanish speaking people. So at the end of the trial mission he will get his call letter from Salt Lake to whether or not he will serve I guess a full time mission so we'll see how that goes but I hope he gets to stay in the mission. But for sure he goes home for a week back home to prepare and find out I believe. Yeah he is teaching me some Spanish so its pretty darn helpful.

 Actually just this week we were teaching Rafael, one of our new investigators who talked with missionaries in the past. And he actually had a question about where did we go after we pass away and so we taught about the Plan of Salvation that God has for each and everyone of us. And he said it all made sense and that is what God would want for his children. He had looked into other religion and it was just you believe in God and if you didn't well that is bad for you pretty much. And with that we invited him to be baptized and he said he would when he found for himself that this is true. And he mentioned that he really wants to know, so it was SUPER COOL. This week has just been full of interesting things and we actually had a Zone Conference this past Wednesday where we talked a lot about how Faith defeats Fear and talked about the 1st Kings 17:8-16. Its a super cool scripture about that widow had to have the faith that she and her son would be alright if they served Elijah the prophet first. The scriptures have so much meaning to today its SO COOL! 

I actually haven't been using like any of my personal debit card funds. I've been pretty smart with the amount of money the church provides to missionaries which off of $150 a month I seem to be doing really solid because as of today I still have around $154 on my MSF card. I don't need anything but thank you though! Gotta make sure I have room for my stuff and I have accumulated a couple things while out here in the mission so I am doing pretty good! And yeah I did get the package of sunshine, I was pretty surprised and actually as a missionary we aren't supposed to chew gum while we go out so the only time I get to chew that stuff is while in my apartment so it'll last for while!

This week has been super interesting and faith building. I just hope and pray that God will place me in someone's path to help them everyday so I need to do my part and FIND THAT PERSON. The mission is really cool, and just wouldn't change it for anything right now hopefully. But altogether I love you so much and pray for you always! Can't wait to hear from you next week!

From,
Elder Brimhall

Hi Momma!

Yeah I am in a new area, and in a new apartment which is a lot nicer than the older one I stayed in, just has a lot more room (I forgot to take pictures which I promise to do that). It's just me and Elder de La Torre in this apartment. From what I can tell you Elder de La Torre is from Las Vegas, Nevada which is super close to our mission and it turns out he is actually a "trial missionary" and he might be staying in this mission or be called to somewhere else. His mom is a member and his father is currently investigating in the church so it's pretty cool. He loves music and played in a mariachi band for a little while and did orchestra so he is pretty awesome, and he speaks fluent spanish which helps when we run into a lot of spanish speaking people here in Ontario.  Yeah it is kind of crazy how fast time has flown by honestly, I feel like I've been here for awhile even though I haven't and even though the end is far away it seems to be coming up kind of qu...

Question Time: 1. My week was definitely interesting, I'll tell you about it in a bit later on in this email. 2. I have no idea yet, I'll be in the office tomorrow so I'll look for it and see if it came in the mail. We don't open those suckers until later and its going to be quite a hassle trying to figure these things out before we roll out ALL the smartphones to all the missionaries but I am looking forward to it and seeing the success that can be found. And yes I will be becoming a Facebook missionary, whoopdy doo for you! 3. Ideas for him? Well I was thinking of trying to get him something but I keep running out of time and forgetting but don't tell him that. I LOVE HIM, just shipping is really expensive... But maybe something that I thought of is giving him a book series called Mystborn or another series by Brandon Sanderson, I heard his books are really awesome and I'll probably read them when I get back. I honestly don't know, you know better th...

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...
