The Mommy-Last Monday we helped some people in the ward move and we got there at 10 am and did not get back to our apartment till 5pm and the library closes at 4 on Mondays, and opens at 1. The cake was pre-made and it came with dryice, which Elder Nash had fun with, to keep it cold. It was a Vanilla with some kind of berry jelly in the center. It was really good. I will probably wait a little bit before cooking the cake you sent, one because I am caked out right now and two I have to get a pan. Her cake was through some call in thing it was cool. Yeah the baptism was awesome. They had some family friends from Idaho and they baptized them and confirmed them. It was really special because they are like family and the guy who did it gave them beautiful blessings when they were confirmed. Wow Grandma and Grandpa met L. Tom Perry that is awesome. I hear that President Perry and him are a lot a like and President likes to joke around and is such an awesome Mission President. Wow you are sick too. My companion and almost all the Elders in my Zone are sick, but so far I am holding strong so that is nice. I guess I got dad's immunity to sicknesses, thank goodness. Well I hope that you all get feeling better and that things are going well for you. Things are going really well for us out here, other than the sicknesses. Well I will write again soon. Take care Love you.-Elder Brickey

Hello Family Curley-Yeah it was awesome to have the baptism and than to have the other two commit to baptism. I dont know if I answered moms question so let her know that they are waiting till March becaue it is one of their Birthday and it seemed to just be right. So we are just going to let them go with that. The weather has been sunny, a little cold but sunny. It is still no where near the fridged Utah cold though. I am sorry to hear that everyone is getting sick that sucks. Everyone in my Zone seems to be getting sick, but I am still holding strong, knock on wood. That is awesome that things are going well for Ryan with school and being able to still do stuff with the Family. Saedy is turning one, wow that is a weird thought. I am fine with them staying little they cant grow to fast on me. I did not know anything happen to Shadow, maybe dad wrote something in his Email. I am glad that she is doing better though. It is weird to think that they are almost 8-9 years old (?). Yeah I hear that those terrible twos are no fun. I did hear something though that could be interesting for you. It is a night time diaper. You put on a cloth diaper and then a dispossable diaper. I guess it keeps them drier so they sleep through the night or something like that. Yeah Elder Nash and I were going through our geneology the other day and it was fun to read the different stories it was cool. I know Shan is a speed deamon on that PAF stuff it is crazy. Wow a Fugal messing with Shawn that is not smart, Shawn will beat the crap out of you if you piss him off. Sounds like all kinds of fun for Nielsen Heating and I am not sorry to say I am glad that I dont have to deal with it. I would have liked to see it though or here Shawn's comments. California is crazy awesome, it is nothing like what you think, well in the North. I am inland and it is a lot like Salt Lake County and Utah County, oh and St. George. There are a lot of hippies but they dont like cold so they left, and the druggies are pretty thick. I bet that is more of a Southern thing though. I would not live here, it is beautiful and I like it, but it is WAY to expensive for my tastes. A house like mom and dads is going for $530,000 and that is "Cheap", yeah right. But it is awesome here deffiniatly somewhere to visit. I am glad to hear that the missionary work is picking up there it is so awesome to be apart of. Well I hope that you can help the guy before he leaves. Well take care of yourselves and stay out of trouble.Love you.-Elder Brickey
