(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.

I honestly cannot recall who Connor Peterson is right now. My brain has a REALLY hard time remembering people's names with their faces, you already know that though so I'll let you sigh in defeat over there. Every time they sing "God Be With You Til We Meet Again" is such a good one, gets me every time as well, its a good one in general though, personally one of my favorites. I think one of my favorite hymms of all time though would have to be "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". Such a good one. I can imagine its pretty hard to not wanna hug me. I'm a hug-able guy I guess. If I was in your shoes I would probably have floored the gas pedal as well, or probably go around the area in a 30 mile radius so I don't get the temptation, but hey you used your agency wisely so good job Mom! I have noticed that about being the decider, but I do believe we have to have a fine line of deciding but also being willing to submit to what others decide as well. We...

Yup that technology thing was worldwide. And for some odd reason, as soon as tech problem arise everyone calls the Office Elders. I actually counted how many people called and text me and it totaled up to 23 calls and 12 text message conversations. Needless to say that preparation day was full of stress and confusion. But fun nonetheless. Yeah it mostly got fixed, there are a few little hiccups with the system the church uses but it mostly works fine so that's good. God has a ton of patience and love. And its kind of comforting knowing if He can deal with me and everyone else I can deal with the people I am working with and helping. Kind of a nice little thought even though its kind of antagonizing. Fun to hear about Dad's work going on with LifeVantage, you'll have to send me the picture of that Jeep when you get the opportunity with the logo and everything. Also fun to hear about Savannah with pom and dance, she seems to be running all over the place out there.  G...

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. ...
