The Mommy-We were able to use a members computer. We were over helping and they offered to let us use their computer for our help. Elder Gardner has been out for 1 year, he actually came out the same time as Elder Nash. At dinners I do say thank you, and I do try to help with the stacking up. Most of the time people tells us no, or tell us to go sit down when we start to clean up. I still try to do what I can though to make you proud and live up to my promise of helping clean up. Wow there are a lot of new babies in the ward. I did hear about Jessica's bridal shower from Brie and she said it was nice to see you and talk to you for a bit. I have not gotten an invitation yet, but I would not be suprised if I do get one. I got the package, thank you for the candy and for sending it back. I felt a little silly after I had just sent it to you. I did get my taxes sent off. As for what to do with that money, if you could put like 200 or so into my checking that would be nice other than that I do not really care what happens with it. Elder Gardner had never been to Mount Shasta before. Not many missionaries get the opportunity to come up and see it or be in the area. I could be driving if I called in, but since Elder Gardner is the senior he is suppose to drive and I do not really care until he almost kills us than I might decide to change it up. The area is still good, and I like it. I have been meeting more people, but definiatly not as many as when I first got here, but that can be expected. The baptism got moved back because they are sick and they have not been to church at least twice which is a requirement. Holidays do not affect my pday at all. In July I think is when President Perry gets released. The new mission President will be announced here shortly. I had no idea that there was an Earthquake. We did not feel anything, well that I can remember anyways. Wow houses in St. George are pricey. I am glad that Ryan was ordained, that is awesome. I am so happy for that kid and getting his life turned around. We only have about 8 inches of snow still on the ground around Mt. Shasta city, on the outskirts there can be up to 4 feet still though. Well thats about it for here in Mount Shasta. How are things going on there? Hopefully good. Well take care. Love you.-Elder Brickey

Hello-It is okay, I like short they are great. Well it sounds like things are going well for you back home, busy but good. It is crazy to think that Saedy is one and that Dallin is two. Man I am to young for this, just kidding. I was wondering when Dallin would start quoting movies, he is quite the movie buff. Yeah sweets are better and you can blame Shan she has a HUGE sweet tooth. Love you Shan, don't hurt me in other words. ;-) My car was posted on Craigslist and on Autotrader, I am not sure but I thought that they would have expired by now. I will see if I can find out. Most logins that I use will be mcclarinman, and if you need a password I can get that for you too. Transfers are like the 17th of March. I keep hearing that I am going to be kicked to the curb, but you never know. I still am enjoying the area and would not mind staying, but the Lord will put me where I need to be. I have not ran into many crazies lately, which has been nice. There are a ton of loonies it is funny. Wow Den leader over the Bears, that is cool. I will definiatly have Saedy in my thoughts on Friday, it is weird that she is one, it feels like just yesterday she was born. It sounds like Dallin is getting quite into the TERRIBLE of terrible twos, how fun for you both. But at least you have mom there to help, since he LOVES her to death. Well it sounds like things are going well for you both. Well take care and love you tons.-Elder Brickey
