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

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...
