April 6, 2013

Hey guys! So to answer questions...yes I got your box and thank you so much!! It was awesome!!  No i have not gotten the other package from the Thompson family....very interesting I have a new family to come home to haha...the more the merrier! Yes I just haven't had any time on the computer the last couple of weeks, sorry about that. Yes please call Lena and tell her to write me, I was going to write them today, but I don't have their address written down. I miss that family a lot, so please tell Lena, Alicia, Asia, and Lui that I miss them very much!! This week in missionary work wasn't that great haha, bummer, but Conference was so amazing!!!!!!! I decided to make a short list of the talks that really touched my heart and taught me something good, but by the end of conference, I had 19 talks written down on my list haha. So good. Best overall conference I have ever seen! I want to say that Elder Holland's talk was by favorite, but I'm really not sure. David L. Beck of the Seventy gave an amazing talk on ministering in priesthood session, mom you should look that one up online. Elaine S. Dalton Portrayed young women in the most precious way I have ever heard. Neil L. Anderson and Russel M. Nelson tag-teamed missionary work like a boss. And of course our beloved Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson discussed thoroughly the extreme importance of exact Obedience. Jeffery R. Holland taught us how wonderous of opportunities are opened to us if only we will believe (which by the way, the story he used in the beginning is one of my favorite of all the savior's stories in the new testament). And then D. Todd Christofferson helped us to understand the importance of helping and redeeming others from their unrighteous, or sorrowful state....and those are only a few of the many talks which were undoubtedly inspired of God, and inspiring for me. What a wonderful opportunity it was to hear the words of inspired servants of Jesus Christ.  I hope you all have a great week and I hope to hear from you next week! P.S. I think a good Idea for ya'll is to pick a few of the talks from conference that inspired you, and watch them over again, and see what the lord is trying to tell you about your personal life. I love you so much!! have a great week!!
Love, Elder Brimhall :)
