Alright, in advance, I do not have a lot of time to email. So it's going to be REALLY rushed. I am currently emailing in a laundromat up in the desert of Apple Valley. Nope, I did not get transferred up to Barstow, but I am now in a more open part of the desert called Apple Valley, sadly there are no apples as far as I am concerned. My new companion is Elder Harris, from Detroit Michigan. I had the opportunity to pick him up from the airport his first day and now six months later we are now companions! So that's going to be pretty fun. 

Chase's father was supportive of him talking to us and everything. If anything his father encouraged him to come out the mutual when we invited him to come. The father wasn't interested in learning anything at all, but he would always get Chase for us whenever we came by. Chase has been progressing pretty well too. It'll be up to the next missionaries to help him out and the area we covered. 

Man holy cow I am really rushed for time. I will definitely do MUCH better next week in terms of actually telling you what's going on out here. I will ALSO make sure to take lots of pictures to make it up to you while I am out here. New Area, new beginnings, it'll be a ton of fun out here. Again so sorry that this is so short. I AM STILL ALIVE. So do not panic, I'll let you know everything that happens this upcoming week, it's going to be goooooood! LOVE YOU MOMMA!! Tell Dad and the kiddos I love em!!

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...

I heard about that from another email and all those posts on Facebook about it. Tell her I send her my best wishes and prayers for them. Be safe on the way there! That was fun to hear about Grant though, he'll become a superstar the more he works at it, and that basketball court will help out, tell him when I get back I'll ball with him!  Concerning that jacket, just something more casual, the only one I have is that big one from the beginning so its can get warm. Just something for the preparation days or just lounging around at night. Probably should have but more information on that request, my bad! You can have Bryson pick something out, I'll make sure to email him today and maybe he'll do the same. We had some really cool things happen this week though. We started teaching this older couple, Ralph and Terry, and they are such great people. Ralph is currently in a wheelchair because he lost a foot, and I swear the jokes he cracks are phenomenal. This is my f...
