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

January 1, 2018 - Hi Mom!

Sorry that I am emailing a little late right now, was busy going through a meeting for "Train the Trainers" because I am now training a missionary who has been for only 1 transfer. So currently I have been transferred to Ontario where I am now in a bike area so that'll be pretty fun and I am training Elder De La Torre who is from Las Vegas Nevada! Its going to be a little weird since now I see trees everyone and there are sooo many houses and just people everywhere in this green environment instead of being stuck in the desert. But altogether its been a pretty fun week, it was my last week with Elder Olson and we had so much fun together while working and just when it was starting to pick up I get moved out, but President Taylor feels it best for me to be here for Elder DeLaTorre so I'll do my best and help him out. I don't have a lot of time to email but hopefully next week I'll be able to actually give you a lot of information about whats going and picture...

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...

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...
