Hey fam!! How ya'll doin?? Good! First off I just want to say congratulations to you Dad on getting the delicious privelege to shower Nana haha!! Sweet! So I got transferred :( :( man that was so depressing. It was like leaving home all over again. I had to go say goodbye to my families - The Wood's, the Condie's, the Eberdongs... so sad, but I have heard some pretty great things about my new area so that made it exciting for me! My new ward is called Benson Hill and I'm in the city of Renton, which isn't too far from Federal Way so it's all good, I've been through Renton a few times. My new companion is named Elder Buckway. I've heard great things about him, Everyone around me was like " Elder Buckway! That's awesome you're gonna love it!" so that's good too. He seems like a pretty cool guy. Not sure where he's from yet haha. That's so cool that Bella got her call!! She's gonna love being a missionary so much!! The way I see it is, you may regret it or you may not if you don't go, but if you do go, you'll never ever regret it! Tell Nana and papa I love them and miss them and that I'm so sorry I could send them a letter last week like I was suppose to! There's no excuses, but we got caught up at the church way longer than I thought and then P-day was over and we aren't allowed to write on not pday haha. Oh just found out Elder Buckway is from Centerville Utah! "So anyways, I was wondering if you would join me in my quarters this night.. for some toast..." haha love that show so much haha! As for my bad week after Christmas, it was a mix of a whole lot of things, but don't worry, I'm all better now, I'm doing really well:) I love you guys! Hope you have a great week and I'll talk to you next week! Love you!

Love, Elder bill Brimhall :)

Happy New Year 2013!



Hey guys!!

So talking to all of you has definitely been the highlight of my week! haha but after Christmas came probably the worst and most stressful week of my entire life.I don't mean to complain ( the Lord's getting enough of that from me already haha ) but I really have had possibly the roughest week of my life. Just thought I'd let ya'll know, but I'm really trying to keep a happy countenance. The Savior says in D&C 121 "Peace my son, thine afflictions shall be but a small moment. And if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high." I've taken great comfort and strength from that scripture this week as to be able to build up my might and push on through the Lord's work. Anyways, that's how I've been this week! Tell nana that i love her very much and that I'm praying for her. That's super lame that she got hurt! So about the wingers sauce i told you about. The measurements are about this: 1 cup of Frank's red hot sauce, 2 cups of brown sugar, and about a tablespoon of melted butter, maybe a smidge more if you want it creamier. Oh things I need, If you could send me a couple of items that would be awesome! First is my baseball glove, please?? I would super appreciate it. And second, if you could get me a one-piece garment for "one-piece wednesdays" that would be amazing too! This sunday is transfer calls, not looking forward to it! can't believe I'm already done with transfer 3! Ridiculous! Okay well that's all I've got for today guys! Love you all so much!! Have a wonderful week! TTYL!

So would it be like 2 or 2:45 over there?? I think so haha! I'm so sorry about everone being sick! what a bummer!! I'll be praying for you guys to get better for Christmas!!

Dear Fam,

Love, Bailey :)

Just kidding! So this week was okay! Not great haha, but I guess they can't all be great eh? That's sweet that you're in the deacons quorum presidency bruce! And I'm super glad to hear that Kayla's mom is doing okay! I'm also way glad that work is still going well. Haha well about the music thing Dad, haha thanks for doing that. We'll see what the future holds for me with a career, but it's good to know someone likes my music haha! So with our investigators this week things have been rough, like almost all of our investigators have stopped progressing, and yet the Lord has still blessed us. There is a fourteen year old girl in the ward who has been coming for a long time, but was never baptized, but she came and asked us yesterday if we would give her the lessons and baptize her in like a week haha! So hopefully we'll have a convert baptism this saturday! Haha yes I got the box! Thank you so much!! That pillow in divinely lucious against my cheeks haha, and I've used my hot cocoa and mug like a hundred times already, and I'm wearing the belt and tie you sent me right now haha! P.s. Tell grandma and grandpa thank you so much for the gift cards! haha the clue on there wasn't exactly an easy one haha but I still guessed it right! And please also tell them that I should be sending them a letter soon! So we has two christmas parties this week! On thursday we had a half-mission wide party, so that was fun cause I got to see all my friends and missionaries that I love who have been transfered within the last couple transfers! We had a big dinner and then watched a movie! We got to watch 17 Miracles! Sooooooo good! Man I love that movie! And on saturday we had the ward party and that was fun! There were lots of musical numbers! Our ward My companion and I sang a mash up of the first noel and oh come all ye faithful, but i had to make up piano music that would match both songs haha. Sis. Condie was like "Wow, that was beautiful piano music! Who's arrangement was that??" haha I'm all " uh.... mine haha" it was pretty funny! Anyways that's about all that happened this week! Love you all so so much!! have a wonderful week fam!! Love you so much!

Love, Elder Bailey Brimhall :)

WHAT THE FETCH???? When did Bryce and Sis get so dang good at the piano?? Good job guys, keep practicing, trust me you'll be glad you did! Sounds like a chaotic season this year, as always haha! But that's what makes it fun most of the time anyways haha! We have had a pretty good week! Found some potential investigators and hopefully can get them baptized by the end of the year!! Oh man that's rough trey, I'll for sure keep her in my prayers dude. I haven't gotten my box from the mission office yet, but it's not my fault haha it's the zone leaders that have to go get everyone's stuff but it's super far away from our zone so they don't go very often! But I'm sure I'll get it soon! I'm spending Christmas with like my favorite family in the ward so I'm so stoked!! The Condie family!! Sweet! Speaking of the condie's, mom sister condie emailed you like 2 months ago, but she said you didn't email back, so I thought maybe you just didn't get it, but yeah her name is Jeanne condie. Pronounced like Janae haha, but it's spelled jeanne haha. Anyways... things are good. I think I'm gonna go play basketball in just a little bit so that should be fun! I'm so flippin sore haha cause we have been wrestling to keep in shape and Elder Pacheco was a wrestler in high school so I get my butt kicked most of the time, but I'm getting better and better! well that's all for this week! love you all, have a good week!! Talk to ya in a couple weeks on Christmas!!!

Love, Elder Bailey Bryce Brimhall :)

How's It goin fam??

Sounds like you guys had a pretty good week!! So mom i sent out your christmas gift today, but you can't open it until christmas!! But I didn't know about my account balance and I accidentally used my card today I'm so sorry!! So this week was a lot of fun. So there's this little 8 year old girl in my ward named Kathy and she has no dad and her mom just started coming back to church, but anyways Kathy's baptism was on saturday and she asked me to baptize her, so that was nice! Hey trey I'm sorry you're sick bro but I'll be prayin for you so get better k?? Hey please tell Christian that I'm so proud of him for making these tough, but necessary changes in his life. Tell him I love him a lot and that my advice for him if he wants to rekindle that relationship with the Lord, is to go on a mission as soon as he possibly can. If I may, I'd like to bear brief testimony to Christian and you guys too. I know first hand that representing Christ for 2 years is the best and quickest way to boost your testimony and love for our beloved Redeemer. This mission just over the last few months has changed my life in ways I didn't know were even possible. I know that it's hard to leave trust me. Been there. I think about how hard it was, and still is, every single day; but I know that not going on this mission would have been one of the biggest mistakes and regrets I could ever have, and if he doesn't go, it will be one of the biggest regrets he'll ever have. I know it. I know that this Gospel is truly the Lord's Kingdom re-established here on the earth by our loving Heavenly Father through a living prophet. Read from the Book of Mormon as much as you possibly can. Joseph Smith wasn't joking when he said that "a man will come nearer to God by reading the Book of Mormon than by any other book". I love it. It has brought more peace to my soul than anything else save MAYBE prayer alone, in the past few months. Read it, pray fervently about it and it's teachings, and love it with all you've got. I know that Jesus is our Savior. I know that we have Heavenly Parents who love us and are intricately and intimately involved in the smallest details of our lives. I am so honored and blessed to share my name with the Lord, God of Israel. I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. He is indeed a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense. I am so grateful that for 2 short years I can place his name next to mine visibly. And I leave that testimony in His solemn and sacred name, Amen. I love you Fam. I can't wait to here from all of you in a few short weeks on the phone! I cant believe it's been almost four months already! Crazy eh?? Have a great week guys! I love you a lot.

Love, Elder Bailey Bryce Brimhall :)

Hey fam! "Richard. Who's your favorite little rascal? Alfalfa, or spanky?....sinner...." Haha just thought of that and thought I would share! Well this week has been a very inspiring and tough week haha! Okay I'll get real serious for just a sec. Guys, we are going to need your prayers more than ever before over the next six weeks. So far we have been working with several people for a few months now, but no baptisms. God expects and demands more of us here in the Lakota Creek ward. Our heavenly father expects my companion and I to baptize 10 or more people before the end of this year. This is going to be the most exhausting, and difficult missionary effort I might ever put forth, and these sons and daughters of God need our help. In the battle of Jericho, Gideon chose 300 men to battle against 300,000 men, but by the power of God they won that battle. To reach our goal of 1038 baptisms this year, we need another 350 in the next six weeks. President Larkin chose about 20 companionships out of the 97 here in this mission (one of which was my companionship) and called us to fight this metaphorical "battle of Jericho". The Lord needs his sons and daughters to return to him, and he has called myself and several others to bring them into the fold by the end of the year. We need your cries to God no more than ever. Thank you so much for your support and love!! Besides that not much went on this week haha. Yes I got the putnum's cookies haha! So yummy! No I didn't get the box yet, but I'm sure i will at transfers next week. Yes I do have a request for my christmas box! My request is please keep it simple. I truthfully would prefer to not get stuff for christmas haha but if you insist on sending me something, please keep it inexpensive and minimal. Thanks!! I gotta go!! Lots to do today!! I love you all so so much!! Have a wonderful week!! Trey, don't leave the heater on this time when you clean out the hot tub haha it took like 3 years to fix last time haha! just kidding dude love ya! haha!

Love, Elder bill the bryce roll the dice kill the mice brimhall!!

Nov. 12. 2012

Okay so first of all I want to answer sissy's question: no dish rag I have not heard Taylor Swift's new CD yet haha. Sorry dude. That snow looks like so much fun!!!....not. haha sorry guys that sucks. The weather here has been low 40's and rainy with some sun peeking out from the clouds once in a while haha, but I love the rain here so much!! The rain was probably my favorite part of this week haha:) Yes I certainly did hear about the election! Ya know, I would have voted for Romney for sure, but whether we like it or not, Obama is the leader of our country for 4 more years, so we need to pray for him and other leaders of this country and be thankful that we even get to live here. what an enormous opportunity we have to live in a free country. Let's join forces in prayer of thanksgiving, and for direction for the current leaders we have. I know it's a bummer, but there's nothing we can do now except pray. I'm good on warmth everywhere except my hands haha so yeah gloves would be nice por favor! :) Oh yeah that long talk entitled Feed My Sheep by Elder Holland is the bomb isn't it?? I love it so much!! Well as for Dwayne and Diane things are a process, and not a very good one yety haha. Diane has gone back to drinking a lot and Dwayne is frustrated and they're fighting a lot, and She's ready to kick him out. We stayed away for a few days and had no communication. Exactly what was needed. We went back on saturday and Dwayne was nearly in tears. He missed having us over and wanted the gospel back in his life. He has been dodging church for several weeks now, but on saturday he agreed to come to church, and sure enough yesterday he finally showed up. It was a great moment. No contact with Diane yet. Hope she's doing okay. Thanks for your prayers for them. They really need it. Things are okay other than that. We still have a couple baptisms lined up for this month. joseph joe should be baptized in a couple weeks, right before transfers, and hopefully jay curtain will be as well on the same day. So please pray for them too. I love you guys. not gonna lie, being on a mission for a long time doesn't get easier, it gets tougher every day. This week has been really hard to get through haha it's a dang good thing I went to the temple, that really helped! By the way, no it's not right in seattle it's in bellevue:) That was fun! Anyways I love you guys so so much!! have a wonderful week!

Love, Elder Brimhall!

P.S. Whoever wants to take this challenge is welcome. I started the Book of mormon over about a week and a half ago. I'm in mosiah 14. I'm going to finish before Christmas. Anyone think they can start in mosiah 14 and finish before christmas? Who can beat me?? haha P.P.S. if you don't want to that's fine, just read alma 26. Great chapter :)

Nov. 6, 2012

Brimhall Family! Hey!

So how's things?? Good! haha this week was alright. Please keep praying for dwayne and diane, they really really need your prayers, the adversary is working so hard on them because of how close they are. Halloween was okay! It was funny because we were tracting partially during trick or treating time haha. While they were knocking on doors dressed up in costume, I was knocking on doors as Christ's representative. While they were chomping down candy, I was feasting on the words of Christ in the bible and the book of mormon. Great times!! haha. Those pictures look good!! Looks like it was a fun time this year back in good ole' utah! Oh yeah those CD's I sent you guys are legitimately some of the deepest, truest, and most profound doctrine I have ever heard from an apostle before. That ten minute one is so awesome and I love it so much, but if you really want a spiritual high, then take the time to listen to the longer on, Feed My Sheep, by elder Holland. I love that guy so flippin much!! Happy late anniversary Mom and Dad!! 23 years!! Man that's older than I am! haha. Thank you for being such an example as a companionship for me all these years! i love you both so much!! So the reason that today is P-day instead of yesterday is because once quarterly we get to go to the temple on a tuesday, so pday is changed to tuesday this week because I'm going to the temple today!! Yay! I really miss home, but this work is keeping me busy. So the adversary is a d-bag just by the way. He interrupted the baptismal progression of almost all of our investigators this week. I guess I gotta work harder. And also as a result of that, we had to tract sooooooooo much this week! Lame haha. Oh well its an important part of the work. You have missionaries???? Sweet!! Do me a favor and just become best friends with them. Have them over for dinner a lot. Do whatever you can with them, trust me, they like it. :) The members of the ward are hands down, the MOST CRUCIAL part of missionary work. Get involved in the work as much as you can, you won't regret it! Trey, that means if male missionaries come around, take the opportunity to go on splits. Trust me man, I wish I could have had that experience. It will change your prespective of this work. I love my ward here so flippin much it's ridiculous. and it's because they are my friends and they get involved!! Well I love you all so so much! have a wonderful week!!!!

Happy Halloween 2012!

Hello family!! HAAAPPPPPPPPYYYY BBIIRRRTTTHHHDDAAYYYY MMMMOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome you guys got her a certificate to a massage spa thing.... good fam!! I love you guys!! So a little update for you, jessica neilson from my prayer list said that she read the book of mormon and it's not for her she didn't like it :( Frustrating. But the rest of them really need your prayers. Especially Dwayne and Diane. If you could focus on them and giving them confidence in God and in themselves, that would be great, thank you!! So it has been pouring every single day since we have been on bikes haha so that has been really super fun, and I actually mean that!! I love the rain so much!! But I could barely move up until two days ago.....whe we got another car!!!! Yay!!!!!!! haha but yeah we got another one finally haha my legs are still just ready to fall off haha! Congrats on the new calling mom!! You should probably be the President haha but I won't argue with God on this one haha. But that's really cool! Yes I got the decorations!!! Thank you so much!! Oh my gosh did I not thank you for those last week?? Yes I got them and they are hanging happily on the wall right in front of my desk so I can read them every morning!! They look like it took forever to make them!! I love them thatnk you so much!! I'm not gonna lie haha I had a pretty dang rough week. Things have been hard and tough, but that's not gonna get me down. Sacrifice preceeds miracles. Every time I feel as though I am sacrificing to much of myself, I just cast out that thought and tell myself sacrifice preceeds miracles! Never forget that fam. Our savior and brother sacrificed everything, and now we have the opportunity in this life to give a little back. Sacrifice will always bring miracle into our lives and the lives of others. I love you all so much! Oh, guess what?? I forgot to tell you last week, but I finished the book of mormon for the first time on my mission!! And now I i'm almost through first Nephi again. Our mission president has issued us a challenge to finish the Book of Mormon before the end of this year, so I gotta kick in into gear with my studying!! Well guys, I love you all so much!! I hope you have a great week!! Talk to you next week!! Oh and dad, I haven't recieved your letter yet, but hopefully I get it in the mail today Thank you so much!! Love you guys!!!

Much love, Elder Bailey Brimhall :)

Oct. 22, 2012

Hello Brimhall Fam!!

Yes tell grandma and grandpa and nana and papa that I'm so grateful for the things they sent me! I had literally no time last week for anything because of transfers, so that's why I didn't write them back! I should be sending out letters to them next monday! I wish I could send pictures, but our zone got split and the library that I have to go to now has no place in the computers to plug in my memory card! Lame! Unfortunately we aren't allowed to use weights here in the Washington Seattle mission, so congrats bruce, you will be way stronger than me when I get back! haha. So because of lots of new sister missionaries, our car got temporarily taken, so I have been on a bike all week! Just in time for like a hundred rain storms haha so much rain came this last week! On top of that, my area is one of the largest in the mission, plus it's all huge hills, so i'm either dying going 2 mph uphill, or i'm having tons of fun going 30 mph downhill!! haha yeah i'm super exhausted and my legs have never hurt so much! It's okay though, we should be getting another car in a week or two. haha oh well, Sacrifice precedes miracles and that statement has truly proved itself this last week. At the beginning of the week we had one person on date for baptism in november, but currently we have nine! So many wonderful things are happening here in the Lakota Creek ward! I love it so much in this ward, I wanna stay here my whole mission! You heard from the Gleeds huh? Awesome! Such a great family! Bishop Gleed is a seriously inspired man. One of our investigators named Brother Joe, has been looking for a job for several months. He met with Bishop Gleed the other day, and bishop said" hey brother joe, this week you will find a job, i know it, but that doesn't mean you stop coming to church. Keep your faith strong!" Like two days later Brother Joe got hired. So cool! The work here has been truly incredible!! Elder Clark and I get along just fine! Not quite as well as Elder Lindeman and I got along haha, but I like Elder Clark too, he's a great guy.
The basement thing sounds like fun!! But just for food storage? I was hoping you would say it's gonna be like a recording studio or something haha! Just kidding, food storage is a good idea... :) I miss you guys a lot! I wish I could call you lots haha but oh well, I see now why we can't. Dad I have a question from an investigator. Dwayne has a son who is 17 and doesn't believe in God. Dwayne is really trying to be a good dad, but his son Triston is kind of a rebel. Dwayne wants to talk to Triston about our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but isn't sure how. He's afraid that he might get a bad reaction. Dwayne really wants to know what the best way is to talk to a young kid of this generation about something that happened 2000 years ago? I'm not a parent, so a little help on this one would be nice. Thanks! Haha I spent some money from my account today on a basketball because our complex just barely got new courts! Yes I do still live in the Forest Cove Apartments where I was before! Super cool, we got sister missionaries to share our ward with us now! haha yay we aren't alone anymore! haha! Yes I got your box!! Thank you soooooooo much!! I loved it!! I know I said no jeans, but I'm really glad you sent them cause they fit great! Even with the slim fit legs!! Lost some weight!! Yeah I loved the box thanks so much! Hey!!!!!! You 5 that are home!! I have almost nothing that I can do for mom's birthday so I'm counting on ya'll to do something for her k??????? Good. If you guys could pray for this list of names that would be so awesome: Dwayne Lahnella, Diane Hankins, Asia Calep, Joseph Joe, Pamelah Tuuga, Jessica Neilson, and the Osorio kids namely Junior, Lacey, and Jocelyn. Thanks so much!! They really need your prayers!! I love you all so so much! Off we go to build Zion!!! Love you!!!

Love, Elder Brimhall :)
P.S. Kick grant's butt since I only hear from him like once every third week!!

Oct. 16, 2012

Hey fam! What?? No way!! The ward's changed?? That's pretty lame!! Oh well, it sounds like you have a great group to lead the new ward though so it will all be just fine! No I didn't get transfered thank goodness!! I love my ward so much!! Unfortunately my companion, Elder Lindeman, did get transfered. Big bummer cause I love him to death! I don't have like any time because of tranfers so I gotta make this one quick. Mom, you asked me what I did for conference, well we aren't allowed to go to member's houses for conference so I just went to the stake center. I loved elder holland's talk... of course cause he's awesome!! My new companion is Elder Clark, he seems like a great guy but I don't really know him yet haha. The work this week has been going really well. We have worked super hard, gotten a few new investigators, and we're hoping to see some baptisms here in the next few weeks!! I love you guys so much!! Hope you all have a super fantastic week!!

 

 

Oct. 7, 2012

Hello Brimhall Family!!! Wow it really looks like a great year for duck hunting!! That's so rediculous! haha!! The door looks awesome!! Nope it doesn't bug me at all! Ahh yes! If you can send me a couple items in the next box that would be awesome!! I don't need jeans, but I could definitely use a beanie and a scripture case! My scripture case should be in the top left drawer of the black dresser by the bathroom!! Thank you so much!! and you can just send it to the mission office please!! All boxes are suppose to go to the mission office an most letters too! This week is transfer week, so everything sent here should be sent to the mission office just in case I get transfered. I shouldn't get transfered, but you know, just in case. The work here is kind of slow going. We have a lot of our investigators back-sliding. We are working super hard and trying to be diligent in everything we do!! We found a couple more new investigators this week, but we haven't really been able to get ahold of them since, so hopefully we'll be able to this week. I miss you guys a ton! You can tell haha I sent letters to all of you haha! Things are tough of course, but that is where faith and diligence comes in. Just gotta keep working hard and doing my best and let the Lord take care of the rest. You know what they say, hard work is just another name for luck ;) I've come to find that the times that I get to sit down and read from the Book of Mormon are my very favorite times of the day! Keep reading fam! That book truly contains messages from God on how to improve your life!! Heavenly Father speaks to me most often through the scriptues! I love it!! Love you guys so much!! Have a great week!!!

Love, Elder Brimhall!!

Sept. 30, 2012

Hey fam!!

Sissy I am so so proud of you for your baptism!! You are so amazing and I hope that you had such a great time!! I'm glad to hear that things at home are going well for all of you!!! I love and miss you guys all so much!! So two years ago, a member of the quorum of the seventy came to this mission and told the missionaries that if they worked with all they had and were exactly obedient to the mission rules that one day they would baptize 100 people in one month. Since then, they have gotten mid 80's and lower even though they were trying hard. Well in the month of september after much prayer and hard work we had 101 baptisms!!! Our whole mission was so excited!! It feels really great when you know that you have accomplised something hard like that!! It took every single missionary in our mission being their best to make this happen!! What a wonderful event!! This month we are hoping for even more than that! Why the heck didn't grant email me this week?? Go kick his butt, will ya? haha. Being out here is most definitely the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I know that this is where the Lord wants me, so I stay here and just try my best to keep working hard! I think about you all all the time!! I'm gonna write you guys some handwritten letters in the mail this week I think!! I got the box you sent!! Thank you so so much!!! I loved it!! Haha yes I am getting plenty to eat haha!! The funny thing is that right when I ran out of instant breakfasts, I got your box that had more in it haha so thank you so much!! Thank you for the picture sis!!! I loved it!! I love you all so so much and hope you have a fantastic week!!! Love you guys!!

Love, Elder Brimhall!! :)

Sept. 9, 2012

Well first things first, thank you so so much for all of you writing me!! I love hearing about how everybody is doing!! But things are going alright around here haha no I don't feel unsafe at all from where I'm living. I live in a city called Federal Way, so I'm technically not directly in Seattle right now, haha but I have not seen a drop of rain since I got here haha but right now Washington is breaking it's all time record for longest time without rain! So that's pretty cool haha it's been way warm. Yes we literally run from house to house for 2 or more hours every day!! My body is in like a state of over exhaustion haha I am so drained but that's what it's all about!! I've only been here for a week and I can already say that a mission is one of the hardest things somebody can ever endure in this life, but it is extremely rewarding!! It was really super awkward walking up to random people on the street at first haha cause most of them just get mad at you, but some of them are pleasant to talk to! Haha. It gets easier by th day though :) We actually had a really old guy the other day haha, we walked up to him and introduced ourselves and this guy was like 80 years old, but he wasn't very nice haha we asked him if he had a belief in God, and he just turned around and yelled "that's none of your "bleeping" business!!" crazy guy. haha oh well!! So on saturday I performed three child of record baptisms! haha what that means is that they are 8 years old, but their dads aren't worthy to baptize them, so they call th missionaries!! That was fun for me, but really sad for those dads who were wishing that they were the ones in the font with their little boy or little girl :( But yeah things are going good!! We have a few people who we are teaching and want to be baptized, but they are just having a hard time with some things, like most of them are trying to quit smoking first, so that's hard for them! Well I love you guys so so much!! I'm trying to send pictures, but this computer won't let me!! Sorry!! Love you guys and have a great week!!!! If you want something to read in the scriptures, I love 1 Nephi 18!! My favorite verses are 3, 15-16, and 21!! Love you!!
