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!

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!

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!!!

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 :)

Thanksgiving 2012!

Hello Fam!!!!!

So thanksgiving for me was so great!! Haha yes I ate soooooo freaking much food it was ridiculous. We had dinner with the Stone family in our ward and we were totally stuffed!! Then we made the mistake of going to visit a Marshalese family right after. They had about 60 people over and they fed us sooooooooo much food I have no idea how I ate it all! In case you didn't know, marshalese are Islanders from the marshal islands in micronesia, so you have to eat or they get offended haha! I love marshalese people so much though!! We are teaching some marshalese and so I'm learning somewhat of how to speak the language so that's super cool!! Transfers were today and yes I got transfered :( :( ... but wait! There was a set of sister missionaries in my ward too and they both got transfered and so I got transfered from Lakota Creek A to Lakota Creek B! haha!! I was so stoked cause I love this ward so flippin much! My new companion is named Elder Pacheco! I have known elder Pacheco for a few months and we get along really well so this is super great!! This will be a great transfer! The work is great!! So I have been teaching Jay Cureton since the day I got into the mission, literally. Jay has been refusing to quit smoking, but somehow a few weeks ago we got him to do it and he was baptized just a few days ago on saturday!!! Wooooooooo!!! And on sunday I had the priviledge of confirming him a member of the church! First baptism! 1 down and 9 to go before the end of the year!!! We starting the ball rolling baby!! Oh yeah I finally got your november box today but i haven't been able to open it yet because of how hectic transfer days are! But yeah I got it thank you so much for sending me a box! I have a car for now but I'm pretty sure I will have to get a bike soon:/ But yeah i am so stoked for this transfer!!!! Sweet! I get to participate in Christmas! Ha! Well mom expect greatness!! Well i love you guys so much!! have a wonderful Week!!! Can't believe it's almost christmas already!! Remember that the biggest part of "christmas" is Christ.
