(3rd P-Day) 17 Days In I Think

Hey Mom! Hey Dad!

Yeah I got the phone you sent except if I'll try and use a Payphone or something else but if thats not the case I'll use the phone for the time that I am limited to.

MTC Departure is August 28 and we checkout of the Travel Office at 11:50am. We are flying on Delta Airlines Flight 4765 from Salt Lake City to Ontario California the times are 5:17pm to 6:08pm so I think timezone difference has something to do with that. Also 23 people are in my travel group including me so thats a LOT of fun!

Thats pretty funny with Grant, its alright that he doesn't remember the name but if it happens again just let Bryson try and help him figure out who it was. (There should be a Username or something and I could think of who it is). 

Sounds like Savannah had a FANTASTIC time with her friends, I'm glad everything is going well for her and hopefully she starts school strong and keeps improving in her dance performances! Let her know I'm silently praying for everyone to do well!

That concert sounds like a ton of fun! Hopefully Bryson enjoys it a lot, also have him check his Email, I emailed him and he never responded.

Don't worry about the $500 too much, my Debit card that I have still from Wells Fargo should have enough to pay for that. But I can't wait till I'm actually in Rancho Cucamonga California! I met a couple Sisters that are going to be serving there but I still have yet to find more than half of the people going to serve there. (I've found about 8 people going to serve besides Me).

The Missionary Training Center has been a crazy experience and I've learned a lot more than I thought I ever would. Roleplaying with teachers and actually teaching Investigators that want to learn what we have to teach. But I learned its more than just teaching a lesson, we are teaching by the Spirit and being God's servants. I'm learning to put God first before myself and it helps me focus so much and I know He can work through me. Not only that God knows the people I serve more than I ever will, so if I listen to the Spirit I can truly help them feel God's love for them and invite them to learn more!

Its crazy that I only get to be here for 19 Days then I'm in the field... I'm so freaking excited and just am burning with anticipation. Also I'm praying for my Trainer to be great, wanna be able to start off with at least a good beginning. 

From your Elder,
Jarom Brimhall

PS: I got to greet a whole lot of new missionaries that came in 3 Days ago that are serving in Gilbert Arizona so that'll be fun!

Forgot to ask, I may need some more Short sleeved shirts since I found out that most of my mission is literally just Desert. I'll let you know the first P-Day that I'm there.

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...

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...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Thanksgiving was really awesome, we had dinner with a family where they have 5 boys and we got to spend our one dinner with them for that night. Got to eat deviled eggs, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, crackers and cheese with ham, chili, some barbecue hotdogs, and lots of other food which was amazing! Everything else over here is going very well though! Although Elder Olson got sick for a day and we had to drive to an Urgent Care outside our zone so that was fun. Elder Olson is pretty much the same height as me and everything, why do you ask? I don't think its cold enough to get any extra layers of clothes or anything but thanks! That's awesome that everyone of the kids is doing well and doing the things they love! Funny how as soon as I leave you start having missionaries over for dinner, maybe we'll have to invite some more when I get back from my mission or something. Um I don't know anything about plans for Christmas yet but I'll email you when I find out the det...
