The Mommy-
Snow again, that is fun. It had been really warm here in California. Things are going really well though with the work. The shirts worked out, I actually exchanged them for the others though. The ones that you sent have a smaller pocket and it is harder for me to fit my planner and rulebook in. Thanks though for sending them I really appreciate it. The creme from Wal-Mart was like $200 I thought, but I do not care I do not think that I need it, and I will be alright without it. For Mothers Day we both have a phone so we should be able to just call with no problems. I do not know when you want to call, but I should get back to the apartment at around 2 here so 3 there. Whatever works really. For the baptism that we had Saturday, a brother in the ward that was very instrumental in helping her along the way baptized her and then on Sunday he also confirmed her. It was at one, so that is cool that Nicole was gradumicating while I was having a baptism. The baptism was amazing. The spirit was definitely there and quite a few people showed up and that was awesome. I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, which should have been easy seeing I am a missionary and talk about the HG all the time, but I felt like I stammered through the talk but people said I did a good job. I do not remember Brigham Young's home, did we ever go there? That is cool though that you were able to talk to that Sister Missionary and that she knew Grandma and Grandpa. That is cool that you were able to make it to Kellie and Roger's baby blessing. I think it is funny what some people bear their testimony about. I think I would have been laughing so hard if I would have been there so that is a good thing that I was not. I am glad to hear that things are going well for the family and that they have not forgotten me yet. I hope that all is going well for you all. Take care and I cannot wait to talk to you on SUNDAY! Love you.

Hello Curley Family!
It sounds like you have had a really busy weekend. Though it is cool that you were able to go to all that stuff. The baptism that we had was AWESOME. It went really well and a lot of people showed up and gave their support for Andrea. I cannot believe that I have already had 3 people get baptized and I am only 6 months into the mission. I never thought that the work would be like this. I can only imagine how fun it is to try and clean when you have little kids who want to make a mess and PLAY! Than again I am still a kid and would want to play too! Mom said that you went to Brigham Young's house there in St George. Did we go there on the way to Disneyland? I do not remember anything like that. I only remember the Excalibur and winning a sword because a guy tried to guess my age and was WAY off. Than I also remember things in California, but there is a lot that I do not remember cause I was 6 and that feels like FOREVER ago. Thanks for thinking of me and the baptism. I do not know if you would want to watch me in "action" I am not that good or anything. I feel like I mess up a ton on everything. Than again I do rely a ton on the Lord and he pulls me through so that is good.I do not envy you at all for all that driving. I think I would die if I had to drive all of that with two little kids, well screaming kids anyways. It is good that the kids slept though. I bet that made things easier.
Well it sounds like life is definitely moving along back at home. Well I hope that all is going well and I am looking forward to talking to all of you on SUNDAY!!!!! Can you tell that I am actually really excited?? Well I will talk to you later. Take care and I love you.-Elder Brickey
