Yesterday was President's Day so all the libraries were closed but now I have some time to email... Guess like usual lets answer those questions:

1) The week was pretty fun and interesting thanks for asking!
2) Anything new? Well I have a new companion Elder Pedersen from Canada, so that is pretty fun, follow up training him and being a district leader so its gonna be really fun. Yeah its been getting much colder and it is so darn uncomfortable to bike in cold weather at night. I was so cold that I wore gloves and some missionaries at district meeting noticed it and said "You're cold?" and I just starred at them and said "I'm Arizona... Have mercy on me." its fun out here in California weather.
3) Gabriel has been really hard to meet with unfortunately but we are still trying.
4) Elder Pedersen is quite the character. God is really teaching me to love others and take hits that is for sure.
5) I recently just got a postcard with me as a chubby baby with everyone of Dad's family so the Sisters in the zone got to have a nice laugh out of that one. Thanks!
6) Yep time flies, it does indefinitely have wings.

Sounds like you've been having a super fun time back in Arizona by the sound of it. Sadly I don't have a lot of time to email thanks to the nonsense of yesterday but hopefully I'll have pictures for you next time and write better letters. I can say though that I am learning a lot when it comes to the scriptures. Just recently I've been noticing the examples of God's servants and chosen people throughout the scriptures and what they do and what they change about themselves to help others around them. And also how to use the scriptures themselves to teach others so I'm trying to implement that into my life and be a more better servant to others around me.

Altogether though I am sorry for how short this email is but I promise to have pictures (with my camera cord because I always forget that) and do better next week. I love you so much and pray for you always!! Tell everyone I love em!!

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 ...
