Hey Mom!

Sounds like you and the family have had quite the adventure this past week. Sorry to hear about Grant's arm, hopefully it heals quickly and he will be able to play the sports he loves to play. Those garbage cans can be really mean and rude sometimes, I've almost ran into a couple of them while riding around on my bike as well, so you can let Grant know he isn't the only one who watches out for those.  I wish I could have spent more time with Bryson before I left, that's one thing I plan on doing when everything here is said and done.

Me and Elder de la Torre have been getting along more and more and actually we've been teaching even better in unity and in spirit so its super awesome actually. Plus his Spanish speaking is super useful in this area because there are a lot of Spanish speaking people. So at the end of the trial mission he will get his call letter from Salt Lake to whether or not he will serve I guess a full time mission so we'll see how that goes but I hope he gets to stay in the mission. But for sure he goes home for a week back home to prepare and find out I believe. Yeah he is teaching me some Spanish so its pretty darn helpful.

 Actually just this week we were teaching Rafael, one of our new investigators who talked with missionaries in the past. And he actually had a question about where did we go after we pass away and so we taught about the Plan of Salvation that God has for each and everyone of us. And he said it all made sense and that is what God would want for his children. He had looked into other religion and it was just you believe in God and if you didn't well that is bad for you pretty much. And with that we invited him to be baptized and he said he would when he found for himself that this is true. And he mentioned that he really wants to know, so it was SUPER COOL. This week has just been full of interesting things and we actually had a Zone Conference this past Wednesday where we talked a lot about how Faith defeats Fear and talked about the 1st Kings 17:8-16. Its a super cool scripture about that widow had to have the faith that she and her son would be alright if they served Elijah the prophet first. The scriptures have so much meaning to today its SO COOL! 

I actually haven't been using like any of my personal debit card funds. I've been pretty smart with the amount of money the church provides to missionaries which off of $150 a month I seem to be doing really solid because as of today I still have around $154 on my MSF card. I don't need anything but thank you though! Gotta make sure I have room for my stuff and I have accumulated a couple things while out here in the mission so I am doing pretty good! And yeah I did get the package of sunshine, I was pretty surprised and actually as a missionary we aren't supposed to chew gum while we go out so the only time I get to chew that stuff is while in my apartment so it'll last for while!

This week has been super interesting and faith building. I just hope and pray that God will place me in someone's path to help them everyday so I need to do my part and FIND THAT PERSON. The mission is really cool, and just wouldn't change it for anything right now hopefully. But altogether I love you so much and pray for you always! Can't wait to hear from you next week!

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...

Question Time: 1. My week was definitely interesting, I'll tell you about it in a bit later on in this email. 2. I have no idea yet, I'll be in the office tomorrow so I'll look for it and see if it came in the mail. We don't open those suckers until later and its going to be quite a hassle trying to figure these things out before we roll out ALL the smartphones to all the missionaries but I am looking forward to it and seeing the success that can be found. And yes I will be becoming a Facebook missionary, whoopdy doo for you! 3. Ideas for him? Well I was thinking of trying to get him something but I keep running out of time and forgetting but don't tell him that. I LOVE HIM, just shipping is really expensive... But maybe something that I thought of is giving him a book series called Mystborn or another series by Brandon Sanderson, I heard his books are really awesome and I'll probably read them when I get back. I honestly don't know, you know better th...

I heard about that from another email and all those posts on Facebook about it. Tell her I send her my best wishes and prayers for them. Be safe on the way there! That was fun to hear about Grant though, he'll become a superstar the more he works at it, and that basketball court will help out, tell him when I get back I'll ball with him!  Concerning that jacket, just something more casual, the only one I have is that big one from the beginning so its can get warm. Just something for the preparation days or just lounging around at night. Probably should have but more information on that request, my bad! You can have Bryson pick something out, I'll make sure to email him today and maybe he'll do the same. We had some really cool things happen this week though. We started teaching this older couple, Ralph and Terry, and they are such great people. Ralph is currently in a wheelchair because he lost a foot, and I swear the jokes he cracks are phenomenal. This is my f...
