From Trey to Bailey:
Sooo
my yahoo account is being way dumb and I can't get into it. I think it got
hacked. But this is my other account that I made for a social network thing!
Haha it's hard to explain... BUT!!! The big news.... Wait for it. WAIT FOR
ITTTTT..... Dear Elder Brimhall, you are assigned to labor in the... INDIA
BANGALORE MISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be speaking English!! Which is a surprise
to me:) I leave for the Provo MTC on October 30th!! Dude I'm so stoked I can't
even express to you how incredibly excited I am to serve the people of India!!
My mission is HUGE. it covers like the southern 1/3 of India and Sri Lanka and
all the surrounding islands. It's incredible. I'm sure mom will send you plenty
of pictures of the area. But I'm so excited!! I already have a special love for
the people of India. It's incredible. I feel so blessed and privileged. There's
so many details that I don't k ow if I can tell you all of them just for the
sake of your free time. I will have to tell you more about it next week:) but I
know the work of The Lord must be done there and that one of the main purposes
for my mortal life on earth is to spread the great joy of the restoration of the
true church of Christ to the people of Bangalore and wherever else I may be
serving. I love this work and this church and I cannot wait to get out there
because I know I'll love so much more. I'll let you go though. Hopefully this
was somewhat as exciting to you as it was for me!! Mom told me to tell you that
the video of me opening my call is being sent from a Dropbox account. I love you
brother!! Have a good week!!
Bailey's response:
HOLY FREAKING
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would not have seen that one coming in a
zillion years!!! Wow! What an incredible place to be as a missionary!! Dude I
bet you are so stoked! Not only are you going to india, but you are also not
obligated to learn a new language (although I'm sure you will learn plenty of
the indian language)! This is crazy, i'm like freaking out inside! I can't
believe it! Well dude you have about 3 1/2 months to prepare for this mission.
Prepare well my friend! Read your scriptures, say your prayers, and study the
real gospel-the doctrines taught by Jesus Christ! Wow. I really don't
even know what to say. This is crazy. I am just so happy for you!! I'm really
proud that my little brother is ready and worthy to serve the Lord in one of the
most rare capacities possible. India Bangalore mission. Take some pics of the
taj mahal for me will ya?? haha. That would be in your mission right?? Anyways
dude, I'm really proud of you and I'm super excited for you. If you go with an
attitude of gratitude, work hard in humility, the Lord will work wonders among
you and through you. I love you Trey!!
Love your brother, Elder Bailey Brimhall

Bailey's response to the family...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT??????????????????????? India?????????? Wow. That's all I can even think
right now is wow. Hey trey I sent you a personal email to your trucks4guyz
email. But wow that is absolutely incredible and amazing. I'm almost jumping up
and down right here in the frickin library!!! Holy shiz! That is so cool! And
yet I'm not all that surprised.. It just sounds right for you trey. :) Trey keep
in mind that mom and dad (especially mom) are crying in their hearts right now
to know that you will be so far from them in such a distant and dangerous place,
so be nice, be careful, and be sensitive to the details you share with them
while you are on the mission. Other than that this is so awesome. Thank you for
the pictures too! I'm really stoked to see all those silly people on elephants
and such haha:) well any news I have to share right now seems pretty darn lame
in comparison haha. But things here are going well. We are still working with
the shaeharts to get them baptized at the end of the month. There is
also another guy named gustavo that will possibly be baptized at the end of the
month! So there's lots of excitement around here! I looked at the blog today
haha. On the main page when I clicked on the link, on the right side there's a
picture entitled "capitol hill evening" and you can almost see my apartment
building on the left. If the camera was turned like 20 degrees or just zoomed
out a little ways, you would be able to see my actual building haha crazy eh??
anyways the dish askem me to describe my companion so here it goes sis - His
name is elder Mitchell. He is about 6'5" and weighs about 275. He is fiery red
head and has the humor of garrett richens. That's probably why we get along
haha. But yeah that's it! Hope all is well! Love you all so much!!
Love, Elder Bailey Brimhall
