Questions Being Answered:
- This week went pretty swell thanks for asking!
- Yeah we got a couple days of rain, I just wore my big jacket and didn't care about everything else. So it was pretty fun, thanks for the rain checkup!
- No I do not have a poncho but that's OK!
- We have had a couple missionaries leave early due to illnesses and other problems but it happens to everyone. I don't know about the number of missionaries but I know it happens. I'll be knowing more about things soon though (I'll let you know why in a bit).
- Nope I did not get pinched thankfully. That was because Elder Pedersen was sick for an entire two days and he absolutely hated not being able to work. So we all got stuck in the apartment unfortunately but that means we get to work extra hard!
- Not yet, I'll stop by an Wells Fargo ATM some time, no worries. You don't have to email President Taylor, its gonna be alright. I haven't been using my Wells Fargo account card but I'll let you know when I get the chance to look at it.

SO TO START OFF. I do not have a lot of time to email thanks to some complications this Preparation Day and other things that happened so I apologize in advance for the shortness. So fun story... Yesterday I got called by President Taylor that I will be serving as an Office Elder starting tomorrow. He wants me to come in early and get trained by the Office Elders now so I will be able to focus my attention to the needs of the mission and I'll have to treasure time that I get to proselyte even more than ever. So I have to get packing even earlier... I also found out that while I am an Office Elder I'll be able to help initiate our mission becoming a smart phone technology mission, which means we might become Facebook Missionaries so I'll be helping out with that. Its pretty crazy but I am looking forward to it. 

Sounds like you guys were able to have a really fun time and I am so glad that our family is so connected. While on the mission I have grown to love everything I was given and with the knowledge that has blessed our lives. The family unit is so powerful and important which means we HAVE to keep it all together and we will see the blessings that comes from being a connected family. I wish I could talk more about these things but time is super short so hopefully I have more time next Monday. Except next Monday is Transfer Days so I'll be helping people out with that since I'll be an Office Elder... Its going to be so much fun and work. I'll look forward to telling you more about it (all this was said with a smile on my face, love you!!!!)

- 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
