Weekly Email (10/16/2017)

Hello Mom and Dad! How have you all been? Looks like you all had fun in California and up in Pinetop! I'm glad you all had fun and I hope and pray for you all always!

I mailed the iPod and the cord thing together... I guess someone just stole the iPod when I had tried to send it back home. That's pretty unfortunate and I hope that person realizes the guilt and shame in stealing. But thank goodness for repentance right?

You got me a T-shirt?! I can only imagine what it might be. I should be fine with the jacket you sent me so it'll be great (hopefully). I'll let you know through email if I need another one or something else. 

I have no idea about Jacob's farewell but when I find out I'll make sure to let you know!

I've heard from Rebekah every now and then, she is having a blast up in Provo BYU!

I have had the opportunity to play "chair soccer" which is pretty much hitting chairs as the goals with a soccer ball, it was pretty fun. And so many other games for Zone Activity on P-Day and its just so entertaining!

Elder Olson is from Castle Rock Colorado and has been in his mission for now 16 months, he is finishing my training as a missionary in Victorville. He LOVES Star Wars and a lot of the games I loved playing, and also movies. We may have stayed up past the time we are supposed to go to bed but we are getting along SUPER WELL. And just on top of that, we enjoy some of the same hobbies and just working together in the work we have. In just one week with him we have had SO MANY potential investigators for learning more of the gospel and learning what we have to share with people.

People are looking for happiness in their lives, people are looking for something happy in this world full of negatives and positives, they are looking for a hope. There are a lot of religions that offer some hope but its confusing to people, they may not want to change, they are maybe scared of what we say because it is new. But one thing is always true, Jesus Christ was the perfect example of a loving character, just like our Father in heaven.

Love, 
Elder Brimhall

- Maybe instead of an iPod shuffle maybe the one that actually has a smaller screen or something? Otherwise I'll think of something. And yup I have a couple pictures, but I have been slacking suuuuper hard on that stuff. I also figured out when I cook turkey bacon it tastes like popcorn...

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. ...
