Question Time it is:
1. Anything fun for Labor Day? Not really unfortunately, most of the places I thought of going to are closed unfortunately. But its alright, the people out here in California need a break from all their "busyness" if we can call it that. Just getting the shopping done, washing the car, cleaning the place, and what not.
2. How was the week? This week had a couple twists and turns. I'll explain a bit more detail in a bit, but to simplify it. We had a truck, then we became bike missionaries, thighs feels like rocks, and knocking lots of doors.

Something kind of funny happened just this past week. We were teaching Chase about recognizing the Spirit through Prayer and Scripture Study and during the lesson, an earthquake happened. We were sitting on his porch, talking with him, and the ground just started moving and it was pretty loud... We learned later it was a 4.4 magnitude and it didnt last long, but it was pretty amazing. Little frightening, but amazing.

Our vechile coordinator wanted to get our truck fixed up since it had been roughed up by previous missionaries, so for the time being we have been on bike. Which its been awhile, and oh my goodness I am out of shape. We should be getting our truck back hopefully tomorrow. You really appreciate things when they are gone for a little bit. 

Glad to hear everyone is having fun out there! Looks like the kiddos are enjoying it! Yup, transfers are coming up this next Monday and we'll be getting the new Office Elder tomorrow. Its going to be hectic, but I think I'll be going back yo the desert, its been a little while, time to make some more sand angels. But I believe I should email you and everyone on Monday, we'll see what happens I guess.

There really wasnt much that happened this week. And emailing is kind of being a chore today more than usual. Sorry fpe the lack of material in here... I'm thinking of writing drafts throughout the days tbat way I have more information about what happened. 

Either way, always glad to hear back from you Momma! Make sure to remind Bryson that I still exist out here. LOVE YOU 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...

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...
