No worries about not emailing. I thought you would be busy with work but hey that is why we can always try and try again, just like how our Father in heaven always has his arms outstretched towards us.
Questions:
- No I have not logged into my bank account at all since I am asked to only email and stay on church approved websites I have not been able to check. But I could possibly find a Wells Fargo ATM and see where my balance is at.
- We can go to the church building to watch General Conference but we can also watch it with a member if they invite us over. I remember doing both back in Victorville when I was serving there.
- Things have been going pretty good this week thank you for asking!
It rained quite a couple times over here in Ontario and I have been hearing from people we talk to it might rain again throughout the week but I don't see a lot of clouds yet so we'll see what happens. Me and Elder Pedersen have been trying to help people progress towards the ultimate goal of baptism but we have been struggling to keep people consistently meeting with us so we'll be trying some new methods to keep meeting frequently with people and trying to help them get on a baptism date, because that is the end goal and continuing to stay grounded in the gospel. That's a really interesting thing I realized while being a missionary and growing up under you and Dad's watchful eyes. We have the gospel and were able to grow in that environment but with people we teach they never had that growing up so its completely foreign to them to some degree. And the blessings that come from a family following God's plan for them is the best plan.
Elder Pedersen ran over a large nail which punctured through his tube and tire on both sides which was a miracle of a hit on the nails part. Needless to say after that it was a long walk back to the apartment but we got to talk to a lot of people! We also had Zone Conference where we learned a LOT OF THINGS about missionary work and how we can do much better. But the main focus was around the topic of "a man without eloquence". We don't have to be the best speaker, or best at gaining information, or best at anything. But everyone is called to try and do their best with the weaknesses we are all given. And that is the beauty of God's plan is he asks us to try in every aspect of our lives and we will see the fruits of our labors. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and they are given to EVERYONE. And another fun part of the week is it rained a lot so we got to bike around in the rain and it would get kinda humid which is foreign to an Arizonian as myself so knocking doors and trying to talk to people was a ton of fun!
Everything has been pretty fun over here though Elder de la Torre will be coming back to the mission this Wednesday so I'll let you know if he'll be coming with me and being in a trio! But altogether thank you so much and I LOVE YOU! Have a fun filled week and stay safe!!
From your little missionary,
Elder Brimhall
