Well, Elder Justin Brimhall called his mom for Mothers Day. It was a good thing; you do not want mom upset. He sounded great. He way glad he was able to chat a little bit with everyone; but majority of call was with mom.
President Jensen; the mission president; came through and had missionary interviews. Justin told us afterwords that president is appreciative of his wiilingness and efforts to serve the Lord, and being a missionary that gets along with his companions. Also found out that Justin will be staying with Elder Warburton for another transfer. Wow ! Thats around 7 months in Quincy with the same companion for 6 months or so. President also made Elder Warburton the new district leader. His first leadership position in the mission besides being senior companion; Elder Warburton only has 3 months left in the mission field. Wonder if president did that to keep him busy and keep his mind on the Lords work. So, no transfers for these Quincy Elders thin month.
Justin let us know that after he recieved the baptismal reports for last week; He was excited to learn that 4 choice spirits in his last area were baptized. One of which he was instramental in obtaining a large print Book of Mormon for her to be able to read. Plus, there was investigator in the very first area; exactly one year ago to the date; now "Sister Walls;" who has accepted the gospel into her life and was baptized Saturday & then confirmed on Mothers Day. Justin told us he recalled when they first met her & knows for sure that the Lord had his hand in guiding & inspring him that day. Super exciting for Elder Brimhall.
I will request some recent pictures from Elder Brimhall; stay tuned.

Lighten' Up The Town.......
Well; check this one out:
Direct from Justin :
"got a new investigar and had a huge bonfire also so it was a pretty killer week!"
"Picture this wekk are of of the big ol bonfire and sadly my camera died right when I wanted it, so these are mostly from Elder Warburtons camera. The man standing next to the fire is about as tall as Elder Warburton and I, so you can get an idea of how big it was. I got a nice tan from 2-30 ft away."
Justin has been quite the busy Elder, especially with the duties of being a district leader. Heres another clip out of a recent email.
"Lots of great things are happening in our mission. Last week we had 98 Baptismal dates for the mission. Many in areas that were considered to be "dead or dying." there are actually 4 within my last area Pensacola. One of them was neat to hear about. Her husband was inactive when I was there. (I never actually got to see him.) I only saw her a few times. But was able to give her a large print Book of Mormon that she could read. Never really able to see her after that, cause contact number was changed about 4 days later; and she has this crazy black labrador that would try to climb the chain-link fence and kill you! But now it turns out she has been reading & praying and now has a baptism date!" {---- Justin is quite excited about that.
"in other news this week. I conducted a baptismal interview this week for a young boy named Conner, who is getting baptized into the Tally 2 Ward. There is also another who I will see Tuesday named Cooper. And there are 2 more BCD's in our district also. So, I have been traveling to Tally quite frequently."
"Prep. Work"
