The Mommy-Well I am glad that it was not a problem sending that stuff to me. As for the killing me thing, yes with his driving. I tend to pick everyones driving style apart, don't seem to trust others driving techniques I guess. Well I guess that they just want us to have a heads up on our Mission President, his name is Mark J. Pendleton he is from Draper, Utah. We have not been able to reschedule the baptisms yet. The one lady is waiting until she gets some test results back from her doctor before anything is decided. For the phone book, his relatives are in Salt Lake and in Orem area. We actually did work for one of his relatives, through Nielsen Heating and Cooling. He does not have internet is the thing, and he does not like computers very much. The weather here has been good, we had a storm two Sundays ago though. I am doing well, I was actually sick the other day and I still am recouperating. I am not sure what it was but it snuck up and kicked my butt. We still do have the hammock it is for the apartment from a previous Elder. I had no idea about day light savings, totally forgot about it. Wow a little bunny, that is cool. Maybe the Starker's have gotten rabbits again, who knows. The two people we are mainly working with to get baptized right now are Meg and Alison. They are both in their 50s and are both progressing well in the gospel. They have been being taught since right before I got here. Elder Nash and Elder Jensen, the Elder before me, started teaching them. There is another that we are working with, he is 8. He is a foster kid of some members. He is interested and loves all the pictures of Christ and the Book of Mormon he says is cool. He could just be baptized, but his foster parents want him to understand what he is getting into a little more. Thank you for all you Love and support. It helps me more than you know. There are a lot of times that I feel totally inadequate and that I cannot do this, but in those times I just rely on the Lord even more and things work out for me. Thank you again for all you do and all your love and support. I love you tons and miss you.Love, Elder Brickey

Curley Family-
Well it sounds like you all have been keeping busy. I cannot believe
that Saedy is already one, that is so weird. Than again Des will be 8 in
April. Wow time flies when you are having fun. It sounds like Dallin is
becoming quite the handful and has his own personality. It sounds like
between Saedy wanting to run around and Dallin wanting to 'Cook" all
the time, you have a busy schedule. Well I do not envy the homework
stuff, that is for sure. I am not that excited to start that up again. I
guess it is a good thing though. The Bears, that is exciting. I still
remember when I was a Bear. Wow that feels like it has been forever ago.
It sounds like you have a decent group of boys, probably crazy but
good. Anyways.....Wow Grandpa got a new car, that is cool probably a
Buick. He needs to learn how to say NO to Zack. He would not let any of the
other Grandkids get away with what Zack has, oh well not my problem I
guess. I am happy about the area I am in, but if I do get transfered it
is for a reason and God is sending me there for something. No matter
how I feel about leaving, I will go to wherever excited and hopefully
keep up a good attitude for that area. I do not mind the fact that Saedy
is not growing in some aspects. I want to see her so bad sometimes. She
just did not care what I did, from holding her upside down to tosing
her across the kitchen. She is a funny kid. Dallin Dallin Dallin, that
little toad. I am happy that he is quite the little "helper". It sounds
like he is getting into more and more trouble each day, how exciting for
you both ;-). Things here have been good. I was sick the other day,
but am pulling through now. The ward here became just like 100 mothers to
me. I got enough drugs to kill an elephant and I REALLY enjoyed that
part. We still have a bit of snow. Around some parts still 3 feet. The
weather has been nice though. I feel like Saedy in a lot of aspects.
There are days that I just want to go out and play, but feel stuck in
doing the work. I know that it is just the advisary trying to keep me from
doing the work, so I just do it and keep a good attitude about it.
Things are going well and I thank you for the support and love that you
both give me. Thank you for the emails and all you do. Love you all tons.
Take care of yourselves.
-Elder Brickey
