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...

Question Answering Time: 1. The date for smartphones? Well this Monday we rolled them out to all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders and they are meeting tomorrow for a meeting with all the leaders to discuss how we'll learn to use our technology righteously. But it all begins this week and the next... Oh my goodness gracious I am so done with phones when all is said and done I'll be so happy when its all done here in the office. 2. Yes I got some pictures, I DIDN'T FORGET!! I honestly really missed being able to go to the temple a little more often than usually and when I get back I'll definitely try and make a more conscious effort to go to the temple because the feeling there is overwhelming compared to everything else. 3. The Buddhist Naing? He has been getting pretty busy and we have been in contact with him though. We are hopping to set up something soon because someone in the ward I am serving in used to be Buddhist so we are thinking of bringing h...

Questions Being Answered: - This week went pretty swell thanks for asking! - Yeah we got a couple days of rain, I just wore my big jacket and didn't care about everything else. So it was pretty fun, thanks for the rain checkup! - No I do not have a poncho but that's OK! - We have had a couple missionaries leave early due to illnesses and other problems but it happens to everyone. I don't know about the number of missionaries but I know it happens. I'll be knowing more about things soon though (I'll let you know why in a bit). - Nope I did not get pinched thankfully. That was because Elder Pedersen was sick for an entire two days and he absolutely hated not being able to work. So we all got stuck in the apartment unfortunately but that means we get to work extra hard! - Not yet, I'll stop by an Wells Fargo ATM some time, no worries. You don't have to email President Taylor, its gonna be alright. I haven't been using my Wells Fargo account card...
