Alright lets get these questions answered right off the bat!
1. So Elder de la Torre is actually staying as my companion along with my new companion Elder Pederson (who am I finishing training). Yep I am training again and I am also serving as District Leader so I am on double duty, its gonna be a blast. Elder de la Torre will be picked by his parents on Thursday and will be taken home when then he will go to the Missionary Training Center next Wednesday and after his "3 Weeks" he will COME BACK to the mission to ME and so I'll be in a Trio then back to Duo, then back AGAIN to Trio. He is screwing me over, ha! (he is watching me type this so its ok).
2. We have Zone Conference once every transfer so its pretty nice. One Zone Conference in the valley where we serve and one for the desert of the mission every transfer. 
3. I don't know about General Conference yet but I don't have to worry about all that jazz until March when its coming up on April for when we will hear the words of God's servants in the church.
4. Teaching is going pretty good. Unfortunately some of our investigators we have been unable to meet with since they are staying out of contact with us and its hard to meet with them but besides from that its going pretty good. We are always looking for more people to teach and hopefully they see the change that comes from following God's path and they can make that commitment to be baptized.
5. We get to work with members sometimes when it comes to working with Less-Actives in the ward but besides from that we are trying to have members present for lessons with Investigators. Its just hard to work with EVERYONE's schedules but we are trying to do better so we'll see how that works.

Alright good gravy that took forever and there are so many people to email. Everything this week has been pretty crazy I'll say that much. I'll share a pretty funny and awesome story though because its becoming one of my favorites to share with people. So one of our investigators we've been trying to help him read the Book of Mormon but he always is tired or forgets so we asked how we could help and he asked us to text him at 1:00AM in the morning to read the Book of Mormon. So we have been waking up (with alarms) at 1:00AM in the morning and texting him and when we met with him on Saturday ITS BEEN WORKING. Its pretty awesome.

I'm SUPER SHORT on time and I will have more time next week when all this craziness passes but I love you so much and please give Bryson a loving little punch for not emailing me this week. Thanks! And tell him his brother loves him!

From,
Elder Brimhall

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 qu...

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 ...
