(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.

Question Time: 1. My week was definitely interesting, I'll tell you about it in a bit later on in this email. 2. I have no idea yet, I'll be in the office tomorrow so I'll look for it and see if it came in the mail. We don't open those suckers until later and its going to be quite a hassle trying to figure these things out before we roll out ALL the smartphones to all the missionaries but I am looking forward to it and seeing the success that can be found. And yes I will be becoming a Facebook missionary, whoopdy doo for you! 3. Ideas for him? Well I was thinking of trying to get him something but I keep running out of time and forgetting but don't tell him that. I LOVE HIM, just shipping is really expensive... But maybe something that I thought of is giving him a book series called Mystborn or another series by Brandon Sanderson, I heard his books are really awesome and I'll probably read them when I get back. I honestly don't know, you know better th...

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...

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...
