I'm doing real good thanks for asking! The two hour church was really weird, not having Elder's Quorum right afterwards just felt odd. Yeah and the class right after sacrament meeting was FILLED to the brim, and the fact almost everyone was there was even weirder, it'll take some time to adjust I believe. Those kids are funny, you'll find a way for them to like it and be entertained. As missionaries we just get more time to work now sooooo there's that. I was going to tell you about the mission dissolving but word gets out quick I guess. It'll be interesting, my last tranfer is just going to be a little twisted up but it'll be good. I have a good feeling about it and it'll just be another wild transfer. Speaking of transfers we have another one coming up next Monday so I'll fill you in with what happens when the time comes. 

Thats fun to hear that Bryson got to play some games with people. Kind of miss those days just playing games with family and friends back home. I swear I've thought about home more since it's coming in close, not stopping the work though, still going strong. Tell Savannah I said "Good luck!" she'll do great out there. Glad to also hear that Grant is still playing around in sports. Yeah the gym is a pretty good place. I'm trying to do better with exercising in the morning because after a good little workout you do feel better. All the sickies are gone though, so hoorah. Everytime members ask me how long I've been out they keep saying "Oh man you're almost done" so I've come to accept it. That's funny you are going to be there at the airport for Sister Kerby. The fact she came out with me and is going home before me is almost unfair, but no hard feelings. 

Recently we taught Mary almost all of the commandments and she's on the road to her baptism. She has her interview this Wednesday and is scheduled for January 19th. She's fed us a couple times as well and she's an excellent cook so its always a treat when she has us over and we get to teach her. Prayers out for her as she keeps progressing in the gospel! We have been a lot of finding to look for more people to teach and hopefully I can share some more stories with everyone. 

Recently, you can tell Savannah this, I've been learning how to make sushi. Its a poor start but I'm working on it. I need more ingredients and more experiments to be done as I teach myself. Its kind of hard but I bought a little sushi mat and some other stuff so I'll send some pictures. 

I'm going to try and take more pictures for you during this week and fill you in with more details. When you see Bryson tell that kiddo I miss em and I want him to email me back. Tell Grant he's a boss. And tell Savannah she's a nut. LOVE YA MOMMA!!

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...
