Haha first I have to say, bruce, I've wanted that t shirt for years now haha so I'm jealous! So this week was good! We are struggling to meet with this family that we are trying to teach so that's frustrating, but other than that things are good! You know what I love? I love being able to be close friends with converts! Like lena and her girls! Or genel and eliana. haha the ward thinks she's my little sister cause she just hangs around me at church and clings to me every time we're over haha. Man I miss you guys too though :( I can't even believe how fast this goes though! Like literrally my year mark is at the beginning of next transfer! Crazy weird. As you may have seen, i bought a bike this week. It's a nice new one, a little over budget and I'm sorry about that, but there aren't any walmarts in seattle and bikes are hecka expensive! But the one I got was really good for the price. It was one of the cheaper ones in the stores I went to! We had a pretty cool wake up call from God this week. We were tired and kinda out of it so we weren't really talking to a whole lot of people, so Heavenly Father thought it would be funny to put like 5 people in a row in our bike path who wanted to stop us and talk to us haha. Very funny. Woke us up. We are both so freaking drained though. haha it's been in the 90's with high humidity and we are biking the biggest area in the stake haha. I better freaking be getting into good shape from this! Sounds like things at home are going well! Keep working at it! It's not easy, but it sure is worth it! I'm not sure what i'm exactly even referring to, but whatever it is, work hard at it! Love you all so much and hope you have a great week!

Love, Elder Bailey Brimhall :)

Hey fam what's up??! So this week went pretty good. Sorry that sis had to witness all those nasty people haha but I live right on capitol hill so that is my environment every day haha. Not only that, but somehow the mission took the car from the biggest and sketchiest area in the zone of seattle. We've been biking so dang hard everyday, Luckily we are starting to figure out some of the bus routes, so sometimes we get a break on the bus! Being a senior companion is really different. I am pretty much responsible for everything haha. Elder Mitchell is my campanion. He has been out just a couple months, so that means I have to be a great example for him so that we are exactly obedient! Him and I get along great so things are going well haha. He's a big red headed dude. He's from oakley utah, and he played right tackle for snow college for a year before his mission. He's got the build for it haha. He's about 6'5" and 285 lbs. good sized dude ;) So dad you should know that at least you're not alone in that training haha. When you get tired, just remember that in that moment I'm probably riding uphill sweating my nutsack off! It's hot here in the summer. So you'll notice that there's no money missing from my account yet. That's because I found one for free! It's old and the back brakes don't work, but the front ones do, and the gears work great! So I figured I can just ride this one until it dies :) I went to a bike shop. Bikes are freakin expensive man! like 3- 400 bucks! Not worth it! Maybe I'll go to goodwill today and get one for like 20 bucks :) Good idea. I win. I love you lots! did you get a call from elder Lopez? His suitcase was too big to make requirements, so i let hime borrow the black duffel bag you sent me. He should be calling you soon! If he didn't then kick him in the nuts for me! Hope you all have a great week! Keep saying your prayers and reading your scriptures and going to church and stuff! Love you!

Love, Elder Bill Brimhall

Hey!!!!! So I have almost zero time to email right now, sorry this will be super short!! I'm not training, but I got a comp named Elder Mitchell, and he just barely got done with his training so he just recently got into the field! Yes, the baptisms went through!! They were Awesome! I hope dad's fathers day went great! did he get the letter that I sent in the mail?? HeY I think I can email a little tomorrow since we got screwed over today haha. Our car got taken so now we are on bike, but we didn't have a ride home from transfers so we had to wait for forever! I'll email more tomorrow! Love you all!

Love Elder Brimhall:)

Oops nevermind, we don't get tomorrow I lied. So yes I got your box I just haven't been able to open it yet!! Thank you so much!!! haha i'm so glad I'm finally a senior companion haha. I needed a little responsibility to kick me in the butt haha;) But yeah this last week was pretty good! Two great baptisms and we should have a few more within the next month or so! Oh and I'm really sorry to do this, but I might have to use some of my credit card to buy a bike. Sorr! But I really really need one, I can't be on foot, my area is the biggest one in the zone haha so I'm not sure why they took our car, but whatever, there's no point in complaining! Love you so much. TTYL!!!!

Love, Elder Brimhall :) :)

Hey Fam!!!!!!

So this week really did go by super fast! I can't even believe how dang fast my mission is going by. It's insane. So answer to questions time. Bruce, i know you won't like this answer, but I've learned this from experience-you don't need to know why you can't go to yellowstone. Mom and Dad will always know best. There is a story in...I think it's april of 2011 or 2012 ensign called "how does he know?" I think you should read that one, and maybe that will help you understand a little more.Yeah mom, Actually i have heard of the fourth missionary before. I've read the original talk that he gave on it and it is really really good! But I definitely would love a copy of it if you could get me one! Yes! Genel and Eliana are still on track for the 15th!!! So excited! they are so awesome, i just love their family, They're my favorites in this area currently haha! Yeah mom I'm doing just fine on pants and shirts. Things are going pretty well! I will probably get my box in about a week since it's transfers next week. I'm betting they'll probably hold off until then. Elder Lopez is on the count down, 7 days left. Then it's home to Saratoga Springs for him! I know, perfect place for him to live, Eh? That'll keep my mind focused haha. Just kidding, I'm doing good don't worry about it! So this week we found a family of five named the shaehart family, and they are awesome! Just moved here from oklahoma and are southern penticostal, but they came to church yesterday and absolutely fell in love with it!! They said they don't want to abandon they're old faith, so it might take some time to adjust, but things are really looking up for them! This church is exactly what they need! Great things are happening in this area! The Lord is pouring out his blessings! Pretty sad though for most of us around here though. President and Sister Larkin only have 3 weeks left with us, and then they go home, and the mission splits! Things are just kinda going nuts around here! When does the shrey put his papers in?? Still waiting on those blood tests? Again, please record it and email it to me! I want to be there too! haha! Oh and mom and dad I sent your small Monther's and Father's day gift to you in the mail today, so it should be there in a few days! So please just keep praying for genel and Eli to make their baptisms! It's crunch time for satan right now, so that means it has to be crunch time for us too!! "Shall We Not Go On In So Great A Cause? Courage Brethren, And On! On To The Victory!!" Love you so much! Have a fantastic week!!

Love, Elder Bailey Brimhall!!:)

HEY HEY HEY!! What's up Fam?? Happy late memorial day! haha and happy late birthday to the bruce!! Sounds a usual week at home haha! Busy busy! Man i miss fishin a lot. And hunting and camping and basically just having the freedom to do any of those haha. This week was good though for us here in seattle! We got lots of rain, but other than that things went well! Genel and Eliana are getting ready to be baptized on june 15th! That will be awesome! They are such awesome people and they deserve the gospel. I'm so glad I get to be here for this special day with them, so please keep praying for them so that everything will go smoothly and they will get baptized on their scheduled day. To answer your question mom, things are going about the same with elder lopez. Things aren't getting worse, so that's good! Well actually i'd say things are getting a little bit better. Yes actually i do have one request. if you could send me sometime soon, a couple pairs of G's and a beanie that would be awesome, thanks! That's so cool that trey is pretty much ready to turn in his papers! Send me a video of when he opens his mission call so I can watch it k?? Oh and the reason that it's pday today instead of yesterday is because we went to the temple today. Awesome! Love the temple! I'm gonna go to the temple like every day when i get back! Oh, and to answer your other question, transfers are 3 weeks from today, halfway through this transfer already! It's so weird. I can't believe how dang quick time goes by. I think about it and it seems kinda like 2 years is a jip! That it?? Freak, I just got out, and I'm almost halfway through it already! Oh well, I can't do much about it haha. I don miss you guys, so i am excited for when i go home, but still, it just goes by so quickly. Oh hey. Recommended video of the week. Go to mormon.org and watch the video entitled "Dayton's legs". What a stud-muffin 13 year old kid!! So cool. Oh and alsop watch "No cuss club" that one is good too. Well I gotta go! Love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!! Good luck with starting work in a few days dad! You're awesome! But be careful!! That's kind of a freaky job haha..... Bye!
