Questions Being Answered:
- This week went pretty swell thanks for asking!
- Yeah we got a couple days of rain, I just wore my big jacket and didn't care about everything else. So it was pretty fun, thanks for the rain checkup!
- No I do not have a poncho but that's OK!
- We have had a couple missionaries leave early due to illnesses and other problems but it happens to everyone. I don't know about the number of missionaries but I know it happens. I'll be knowing more about things soon though (I'll let you know why in a bit).
- Nope I did not get pinched thankfully. That was because Elder Pedersen was sick for an entire two days and he absolutely hated not being able to work. So we all got stuck in the apartment unfortunately but that means we get to work extra hard!
- Not yet, I'll stop by an Wells Fargo ATM some time, no worries. You don't have to email President Taylor, its gonna be alright. I haven't been using my Wells Fargo account card but I'll let you know when I get the chance to look at it.

SO TO START OFF. I do not have a lot of time to email thanks to some complications this Preparation Day and other things that happened so I apologize in advance for the shortness. So fun story... Yesterday I got called by President Taylor that I will be serving as an Office Elder starting tomorrow. He wants me to come in early and get trained by the Office Elders now so I will be able to focus my attention to the needs of the mission and I'll have to treasure time that I get to proselyte even more than ever. So I have to get packing even earlier... I also found out that while I am an Office Elder I'll be able to help initiate our mission becoming a smart phone technology mission, which means we might become Facebook Missionaries so I'll be helping out with that. Its pretty crazy but I am looking forward to it. 

Sounds like you guys were able to have a really fun time and I am so glad that our family is so connected. While on the mission I have grown to love everything I was given and with the knowledge that has blessed our lives. The family unit is so powerful and important which means we HAVE to keep it all together and we will see the blessings that comes from being a connected family. I wish I could talk more about these things but time is super short so hopefully I have more time next Monday. Except next Monday is Transfer Days so I'll be helping people out with that since I'll be an Office Elder... Its going to be so much fun and work. I'll look forward to telling you more about it (all this was said with a smile on my face, love you!!!!)

- Elder Brimhall

Yup that technology thing was worldwide. And for some odd reason, as soon as tech problem arise everyone calls the Office Elders. I actually counted how many people called and text me and it totaled up to 23 calls and 12 text message conversations. Needless to say that preparation day was full of stress and confusion. But fun nonetheless. Yeah it mostly got fixed, there are a few little hiccups with the system the church uses but it mostly works fine so that's good. God has a ton of patience and love. And its kind of comforting knowing if He can deal with me and everyone else I can deal with the people I am working with and helping. Kind of a nice little thought even though its kind of antagonizing. Fun to hear about Dad's work going on with LifeVantage, you'll have to send me the picture of that Jeep when you get the opportunity with the logo and everything. Also fun to hear about Savannah with pom and dance, she seems to be running all over the place out there.  G...

I honestly cannot recall who Connor Peterson is right now. My brain has a REALLY hard time remembering people's names with their faces, you already know that though so I'll let you sigh in defeat over there. Every time they sing "God Be With You Til We Meet Again" is such a good one, gets me every time as well, its a good one in general though, personally one of my favorites. I think one of my favorite hymms of all time though would have to be "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". Such a good one. I can imagine its pretty hard to not wanna hug me. I'm a hug-able guy I guess. If I was in your shoes I would probably have floored the gas pedal as well, or probably go around the area in a 30 mile radius so I don't get the temptation, but hey you used your agency wisely so good job Mom! I have noticed that about being the decider, but I do believe we have to have a fine line of deciding but also being willing to submit to what others decide as well. We...

Yup transfers happened today and Elder McLaughlin is leaving to go finish training another Elder who just came out 6 weeks ago. He'll do great out there, I'm getting Elder Johnson (he came out into the mission when I was in my 4th transfer in Ontario) and he's from North Carolina! I've served around him quite a bit so this'll be fun! I think PDay will still be the same. We can email from our phones and not everything is closed so it'll be fine, what holiday is coming up? I don't know anything so far as of right now concerning my mission reassignment. It'll probably be talked about later in the future, still up in the air but I believe President Taylor has been talking with the neighboring missions concerning what'll happen.  Mary did pass her baptismal interview though this past Wednesday! She's super excited for her baptism coming up really soon. We started making her baptismal program for her and inviting everyone we know to come and attend. ...
