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

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
