Hot Weather & Hard Work

Quick Update from Elder Brimhall in the fields of Albany, GA. ---

"Weather here has been hot 80s and 90s, you even sweat in the dark !"During district training; president came down.  I was an awesome message about being a "Celestial Missionary" and living the higher law."

"President is just awesome !"

 "We had interviews; he said some really cool things to me; and he complemented me on  my obedience."

 "Last Saturday, me and Elder Hanson rode our bikes 42 miles;  sustained by nothing but the power of prayer.  That day was intense; we have done lots of biking, tracting, and finding these past few weeks."

 "I finally got to taste some fried okra <much better then boiled> ; had some collard greens, not to bad.  Taste like boiled cabbage.  No grits or gator as of yet.  Boiled peanuts are still my favorite <3"

 "We got the transfer schedule for this transfer;  sounds like me and Edlder Hanson are staying in Albany.  Along with Elder Helgeson; he will be getting another Elder on Wednesday when transfers happen."

There it is; update in his own words.  Until weekly letter arrives this weekend.  Thanks for all the prayers, love & support

Busy Bicycle Week.......

Excerpts from Justin's weekly email.
  "The weeks are getting crazier.  The weather is getting HOTTER."
-Hoping our hard efforts will bring some fresh investigators, we have a few that seem to be stuck in the mud.
-Last Tuesday, Justins companion Elder Hanson, was the fine recipient of an "Epic" flat tire.  Elder Hanson found a 3 1/2 screw that ruined his tire & had to replaced;  So off they went to get new tread.
-Thursday, after a handful of fallen through appointments;  Elder Brimhall was nominated to receive the flat tire.  He said upon further in depth investigation resulted with  a beer bottle glass gem throughout the tread; he condemned it & also purchased some new tread and a new saddle.  After our fun filled week thus far;  they were treated to dinner by a member of the high council.  He took them to the local Steak'n Shake.
-Saturday.  The Elders got crazy energy or something.  They logged nearly 30 miles of pedaling to appointments finally ending the evening at the ward bbq to work on member relations.
-Monday,  prep. day; we also found out that pres. (mission president) was coming to this weeks district meeting.  We are actually excited.
