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

Did You Think to Pray? I actually took pictures this week. And for some odd reason this computer is denying me the right to access those photos... Hold back the pitchforks for now, I'll fix the problem sometime soon. But besides from that one. The title comes from a praying mantis I saw while knocking on doors. I went to go ring a doorbell and there is this giant praying mantis guarding the bell. I ended up not wanting to fight the thing and knocked on the door. Something our mission does every transfer (which is a six week period of time kept by missionaries), we have this thing called a zone conference. And all the missionaries here in the desert got together. Which is always a fun experience being out for little over 13 months now seeing people I've grown to meet and love during my time here and catching up with them. But the whole reason we got together was to learn and grow in our service out here. And something that stuck out to me was learning to set goals, but mo...

Dear Elder Brimhall, Hey bud! Hope you're doing a bit better than last week. Last weeks email was hard to read...but I'm also grateful that you're sharing what you're feeling. I hope you can continue to be that open and honest with us. Please don't stop writing. I don't think I could handle that. We got to talk to President Taylor again on Friday night. He said that he had just talked to you and you seemed to be doing a bit better. He said that counseling seemed to be helping some too. Do you feel like your counselor is a good fit with you? Bryson is going to counseling weekly too and I've noticed he seems to be doing quite a bit better. We went to dinner at Karli's house tonight. Garrett turned 12 last week and received the Aaronic priesthood today. Crazy to believe that Grant is next for that. We had 3 different kinds of soups, homemade rolls, and then Karli had made a double chocolate layer cake with crumbled up Heath candy bar on top. Pre...

Weekly Email (9/18/2017)

The first Jacket looks really good, the IZOD Men's Resistant Midweight Jacket with Polar Fleece Lining. Yeah I noticed and heard from other people in the area that it can get pretty cold, even though we are in the desert (who knew?). But I have heard from Grandma Kathy every week but not from any of the cousins, Hunter did email in the first week but I think he is plenty busy. I'm glad to see everyone is having fun and doing well, and nice job with Savannah giving that talk during Sacrament meeting, it can be a little nerve racking getting up and talking to everyone. But we eventually can break down those barriers and build up our confidence in physical and spiritual means. I've learned just from walking up and down streets, knocking on doors, and sharing our message with everyone to "Come unto Christ" that it will take some time for me to just walk up to EVERYONE that I feel like I should talk to and just start talking. Its still new to me and to be honest its ha...
