Hey Ma! Hey Dad!

OK before I start typing I am at the library and forgot to bring my camera with me so I PROMISE WITH ALL MY HEART that there will be pictures next week. I know I am super irresponsible when it comes to giving pictures just bare with me here. Yeah actually I got to goto that mall, its the Ontario Mills Mall and its in our zone so we got to go there for Preparation Day, got to roam around and look at everything, was pretty fun. I'll look at the serial number too and let you know with the model name as well next P-Day. 

How's it going Dadio? How's work treating you and the kids? If they aren't behaving just wait about over a year and a half and I'll come give em a little talk. Just kidding though! I got the little picture from Savi with her ram prize with the "Pew Pew". Really looks like she had a good time with you and everyone else, she is definitely a better shot than me. 

Everything here has been doing pretty well though! Unfortunately me and my companion keep running into every bike mechanic problem known on planet earth. We are going to try and fix everything hopefully today so we can get back on track with our work efficiency. We've had to walk practically everywhere and we can't get to everyone we want to talk to so it kind of stinks but we are trying out best. Just yesterday we were able to teach someone who moved into our apartment complex from the islands of Samoa. Gabriel has a lot of Mormon friends so we started talking with him and hopefully he'll have the desire to learn more! On top of that we have been doing our best to help our investigators progress in the gospel and talk to everyone around us.

My companion Elder de la Torre only has two weeks left and then he goes home from his 2-Transfer mission and that is when the Quorum of the Twelve will I guess decide whether or not he needs to serve a full time mission. He has progressed so much from when I first became his companion but there is still room for improvement because we are all human beings. All together it'll be sad when he has to leave but that's life so we just go on with what our Heavenly Father has planned for us.

On my mission I've grown to LOVE the scriptures so much more than I ever could imagine. I took for granted the power behind from knowing and reading the gospel that I grew up with and I'm sorry for not appreciating it until now while I am out here. Just everytime that I read the Book of Mormon or the Bible just something new sticks out to me, its so weird and spooky but its just super cool. Also the power of prayer is just phenomenal. 

Everything has been going pretty well over here though. I look forward to reading the email you'll send sometime today, just today we decided to email earlier today because why not. But anyways I LOVE YOU!! Be safe and tell everyone I said "Hi!"

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...

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...
