Hi Momma!

Yeah I am in a new area, and in a new apartment which is a lot nicer than the older one I stayed in, just has a lot more room (I forgot to take pictures which I promise to do that). It's just me and Elder de La Torre in this apartment. From what I can tell you Elder de La Torre is from Las Vegas, Nevada which is super close to our mission and it turns out he is actually a "trial missionary" and he might be staying in this mission or be called to somewhere else. His mom is a member and his father is currently investigating in the church so it's pretty cool. He loves music and played in a mariachi band for a little while and did orchestra so he is pretty awesome, and he speaks fluent spanish which helps when we run into a lot of spanish speaking people here in Ontario. 
Yeah it is kind of crazy how fast time has flown by honestly, I feel like I've been here for awhile even though I haven't and even though the end is far away it seems to be coming up kind of quickly, really scary to think about honestly. 

That's awesome that you bore your testimony, we actually had Stake Conference this Saturday and Sunday and the Apostle Elder Dallin H. Oaks was there along with Elder Gent of the 70 were there to speak. I honestly loved what he shared with everyone during the meeting, he talked about how the gospel isn't an intellectual thing, its straight from the heart and a direct line to Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven. And a lot of really cool stories were shared but my time is limited and I'm trying to keep it short-ish.

Me and Elder de La Torre have been getting along really well actually, we work well together and we are like a "Spanglish" Missionary Companionship because he speaks Spanish and I speak English so it's a power move. And also being in a bike area we get to bike around a lot and it really does work out the legs so its pretty fantastic. On top of that I haven't been able to really meet the ward yet but with the people I have met its going to be pretty fun here and I hope I can do everything I can for the people here in this area. The investigators we have really have a want and desire and I pray I'll be the one to help them along their path as they make those decisions. 

That is fun that the kids are already picking out movies for me to watch, I'm going to be on a month long movie marathon if they keep it up to the end of my mission. Any who I love you so much and hope everything goes well for everyone back home!

From,
Elder Brimhall

A New Perspective Hence the title, I got new glasses since my old perscriptions were causing a bit of strain, but we are feeling better now and kicking into overdrive! Don't worry there will be a photo at the very end with the new glasses, don't get too excited yet you still have to drag through this email. But lets move on shall we. This past week... I'll be completely honest it has been a struggle here. Not going to lie, my hardest area yet since being in the mission field. My companion and I go straight to the mission office to make sure everything in the mission moves forward and everyone's jobs are easier... Then we go into our teaching area and try and find people. In my entire time here, its been 4 months now we have found only a couple people that would let us teach them. And they all dont want to meet anymore. Its been hard, but thats where faith comes in I guess. It tests you, your work ethic, your testimony, and just the faith to find one person who ...

Hello Mom and Dad!

Yes I got the Christmas package with the little tree, ornaments, goodies, and everything else in there. Thank you so much for those festive gifts it'll make the apartment look much more festive! Me and Elder Olson have been doing the #LightTheWorld initiative in member dinners and also with contacting people wherever we go and its been pretty positive mostly! In our apartment its just me and Elder Olson but there are some missionary apartments or homes where more than one set of elders stay together. Awesome to hear how everyone is doing back home and holy cow that package sounds like a crazy one, this Christmas season I think in general is gonna be a crazy one regardless.  Status Update for the Week: Me and Elder Olson have been using the #LightTheWorld initiative wherever we go while trying to invite people to learn more about Jesus Christ and His church, so its been busy here. We were able to find a new investigator, Chip Mosely, who we helped plant some bushes and trees in ...
