Alright lets get these questions answered right off the bat!
1. So Elder de la Torre is actually staying as my companion along with my new companion Elder Pederson (who am I finishing training). Yep I am training again and I am also serving as District Leader so I am on double duty, its gonna be a blast. Elder de la Torre will be picked by his parents on Thursday and will be taken home when then he will go to the Missionary Training Center next Wednesday and after his "3 Weeks" he will COME BACK to the mission to ME and so I'll be in a Trio then back to Duo, then back AGAIN to Trio. He is screwing me over, ha! (he is watching me type this so its ok).
2. We have Zone Conference once every transfer so its pretty nice. One Zone Conference in the valley where we serve and one for the desert of the mission every transfer. 
3. I don't know about General Conference yet but I don't have to worry about all that jazz until March when its coming up on April for when we will hear the words of God's servants in the church.
4. Teaching is going pretty good. Unfortunately some of our investigators we have been unable to meet with since they are staying out of contact with us and its hard to meet with them but besides from that its going pretty good. We are always looking for more people to teach and hopefully they see the change that comes from following God's path and they can make that commitment to be baptized.
5. We get to work with members sometimes when it comes to working with Less-Actives in the ward but besides from that we are trying to have members present for lessons with Investigators. Its just hard to work with EVERYONE's schedules but we are trying to do better so we'll see how that works.

Alright good gravy that took forever and there are so many people to email. Everything this week has been pretty crazy I'll say that much. I'll share a pretty funny and awesome story though because its becoming one of my favorites to share with people. So one of our investigators we've been trying to help him read the Book of Mormon but he always is tired or forgets so we asked how we could help and he asked us to text him at 1:00AM in the morning to read the Book of Mormon. So we have been waking up (with alarms) at 1:00AM in the morning and texting him and when we met with him on Saturday ITS BEEN WORKING. Its pretty awesome.

I'm SUPER SHORT on time and I will have more time next week when all this craziness passes but I love you so much and please give Bryson a loving little punch for not emailing me this week. Thanks! And tell him his brother loves him!

From,
Elder Brimhall

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...

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...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!! 🎂🎉. That's pretty funny that that Dad and the kiddos got you a cake, and that sounds like a ton of fun that you and the family are going out to do whatever you want. I think for New Years we'll just go to sleep, maybe, we still have to be awake at 6:30 in the morning. I didnt know you and the family was going out to Mexico, it sounded like a ton of fun. Its amazing how serving can give us a new perspective of love and thankfulness.  I was super grateful to talk to you and everyone in the family. It was funny seeing how Grant, Savannah, and Bryson have changed over time. It was honestly really weird talking to all of them. By the time I come home they'll be even more grown up. After the Christmas call we had some goodie bags made and gave them with #LightTheWorld cards to all our neighbors in our apartment complex and some other people.  We were walking down a street trying by some people that used to meet with missionaries and looki...
