Email and Letter 11-19-07

This looks like it could be a form letter, that we assume he filled out at an interview with the mission president after his arrival in CA.

The Letter:

We've Arrived

Dear:

We made it to California! The great Roseville Mission. Just a short note to let you know how I am doing.

He writes:

Hey family I made it to the beautiful state of California. The weather is extremely warm, compared to Utah anyway. President Perry and Sister Perry met us at the airport and they are both amazing. Our flight was short, & we sadly lost only one piece of luggage. Elder Carter, one of my MTC companions, lost one of his bags. Other than that it has been amazingly well. It is super flat out here, but I think I will get used to it eventually. It was a beautiful flight, tell Scott that Tahoe is beautiful from the sky! I love you all and I hope that things are going well. Write you soon.

Elder Brickey

Now the email:

The Mommy-I did go and say "bye" to Grandma and Grandpa and it was just as hard as when I said goodbye to all of you in October. But I know that I am going somewhere that the Lord needs me so it's all good I guess. I don't think that I left anything at the MTC, but I will find out eventually if I did. I got my bike and we had Zone meeting and all the other Elders in my Zone put it together they were pretty excited to do it too. It looks pretty! Anyways I hope all is going well for you. My preparation day is monday, but this week I get an all day Pday on Thursday, YEAH! Well I will write you again soon. Love you, love-Elder Brickey

Here are a couple of pictures that were sent. The first one is of Sister Perry, President Perry and Elder Brickey. The second one is of Elder Carter and Elder Brickey.
