1st Preparation Day (August 12 2017)


So I've know been in the MTC for about 3-4 days since I arrived on Wed on this week. But everyone here is just super friendly and its going well. But I am having a bit of a hard time learning to teach people about the Gospel in the MTC but I am just barely learning so Im bound to get better as the days go by. My companion Elder Furse, he is from Hurken Utah and he was in college for a couple years so he is a little older than I am, 4 years older so I'll let you do the math. But Im sleeping and eating well (surprisingly) the food is alright, nothing to complain about, and Im getting always enough sleep. Its definitely different reading the scriptures and studying and pondering for a large amount of the day but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Hopefully, Piper starts feeling better but I cant worry too much, gotta focus on my work here in the MTC for when I go on my mission. We get to check our emails and respond back every Saturday (or whenever Preparation Day is). So im hoping everything goes well with everyone, kind of sucks not knowing whats going on with Family or the outside world but I'm here with a purpose.

Wish I could stay and chat but I got some important things to do, like write more emails and study more scripture and other stuuuuff.

Love you lots!

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...

Dear Elder Brimhall, Hey bud! Hope you're doing a bit better than last week. Last weeks email was hard to read...but I'm also grateful that you're sharing what you're feeling. I hope you can continue to be that open and honest with us. Please don't stop writing. I don't think I could handle that. We got to talk to President Taylor again on Friday night. He said that he had just talked to you and you seemed to be doing a bit better. He said that counseling seemed to be helping some too. Do you feel like your counselor is a good fit with you? Bryson is going to counseling weekly too and I've noticed he seems to be doing quite a bit better. We went to dinner at Karli's house tonight. Garrett turned 12 last week and received the Aaronic priesthood today. Crazy to believe that Grant is next for that. We had 3 different kinds of soups, homemade rolls, and then Karli had made a double chocolate layer cake with crumbled up Heath candy bar on top. Pre...

Weekly Email (9/18/2017)

The first Jacket looks really good, the IZOD Men's Resistant Midweight Jacket with Polar Fleece Lining. Yeah I noticed and heard from other people in the area that it can get pretty cold, even though we are in the desert (who knew?). But I have heard from Grandma Kathy every week but not from any of the cousins, Hunter did email in the first week but I think he is plenty busy. I'm glad to see everyone is having fun and doing well, and nice job with Savannah giving that talk during Sacrament meeting, it can be a little nerve racking getting up and talking to everyone. But we eventually can break down those barriers and build up our confidence in physical and spiritual means. I've learned just from walking up and down streets, knocking on doors, and sharing our message with everyone to "Come unto Christ" that it will take some time for me to just walk up to EVERYONE that I feel like I should talk to and just start talking. Its still new to me and to be honest its ha...
