10/10/2017 Its Now Been 2 Months?

Yesterday was Columbus Day or something so the library was closed, oh well.

Everything has been going pretty well, still learning in the mission field and I swear everyday I read the scriptures I learn something new, like every dang time. I've read the Book of Mormon more than once but reading it in the mission field, I seem to pick up some pretty key things that are like *BOOM* new concept that gets you hooked and thinking.

I did try on the jacket and it its a bit baggy and big. But when it does get colder I'll try it on and see how it goes when I'm proselyting in it. To be honest, no tears were shed when Elder Ruiz left and it was just a hug and good luck and be safe on the flight back home. It didn't feel too hard but I know he'll do great back home. And yup I'm staying in Victorville still, the work continues! My new companion is Elder Olson, super great guy and funny to talk with, we literally had the best conversations already and I just met him yesterday. Unfortuntately I didn't take a picture of us together sooo I'll get on top of that for next email day.

Everyday consists of work, but I love it to be honest, it keeps yourself busy and while I am talking or teaching everyone about Jesus Christ and everything pertaining to the gospel it fills me with joy. Because some people never grew up knowing they we all are beloved children of our Father in heaven and the joy we can feel when we know for ourselves. Having the knowledge and the opportunity to read the scriptures, pray, attend church, and so many other ways to come closer to following Jesus Christ's example is such a blessing.

I was reading in Alma today actually and while I was reading somewhere in Chapters 50-52 I came across a scripture where the Nephites were happier than they ever have been while keeping the commandments. Some people see the commandments we have as restrictive and "no fun". But it is true happiness, nothing is better than having the mindset of "We are Children of a kind and loving Heavenly Father". 

Thats awesome that everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves! I pray for you guys always and be safe while on Fall Break, it'll be fun!

From,
Elder Brimhall

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. ...
