(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.

Hi Momma!

Yeah I am in a new area, and in a new apartment which is a lot nicer than the older one I stayed in, just has a lot more room (I forgot to take pictures which I promise to do that). It's just me and Elder de La Torre in this apartment. From what I can tell you Elder de La Torre is from Las Vegas, Nevada which is super close to our mission and it turns out he is actually a "trial missionary" and he might be staying in this mission or be called to somewhere else. His mom is a member and his father is currently investigating in the church so it's pretty cool. He loves music and played in a mariachi band for a little while and did orchestra so he is pretty awesome, and he speaks fluent spanish which helps when we run into a lot of spanish speaking people here in Ontario.  Yeah it is kind of crazy how fast time has flown by honestly, I feel like I've been here for awhile even though I haven't and even though the end is far away it seems to be coming up kind of qu...

A New Perspective Hence the title, I got new glasses since my old perscriptions were causing a bit of strain, but we are feeling better now and kicking into overdrive! Don't worry there will be a photo at the very end with the new glasses, don't get too excited yet you still have to drag through this email. But lets move on shall we. This past week... I'll be completely honest it has been a struggle here. Not going to lie, my hardest area yet since being in the mission field. My companion and I go straight to the mission office to make sure everything in the mission moves forward and everyone's jobs are easier... Then we go into our teaching area and try and find people. In my entire time here, its been 4 months now we have found only a couple people that would let us teach them. And they all dont want to meet anymore. Its been hard, but thats where faith comes in I guess. It tests you, your work ethic, your testimony, and just the faith to find one person who ...

Hello Mom and Dad!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing really well! What is actually funny is since I was still a little sick I called the mission nurse and she asked me who she just saw, and mentioned Mom dropping by with Sister Kerby's mom dropping off gifts so that caught me off guard. But that is super awesome that you took the time and love to give gifts to everyone! Time can fly by pretty quickly sometimes and other days it just seems to drag on for awhile but all together I've been out for more than 4 months now... Time really has just flew. And YES we do get to talk on Christmas using Skype, I recently got an email from my Mission President with information on rules and regulations. We get about 30-40 minutes at the maximum and I believe we'll be able to text your number with the member's phone or call ahead as we prepare to Skype (the Hannett Family offered their home for Skyping for us). But for everything pertaining to that on Christmas Day even though its supposed to be our Prepara...
