The Mommy-My wrist and shoulder are doing well. I have been doing my exercises and strengthening my shoulder up so that is good. I have decided that I am going to keep that up so I can see if maybe I can get my shoulder back and able to throw again, but not like I use to no worries. That is interesting about Russia, I have heard that things were getting weird and harder over there. I bet that it would be a real pain to have to leave at least every three months to renew your visa. I am glad to be in the USA were I do not have to deal with that kind of stuff. Though I am fortunate to deal with a lot of other weird and annoying things. I have emailed Brad a few times but I do not know if he is to busy to email be back or what so I am not to terribly depressed by that. Though it would be nice to hear from the punk.What box did they put in the yard? And why the heck did the put it in the yard? I would be really ticked off and tell them that they cannot put it in my yard. That or if they did they should not have left a pile of garbage in the yard or where ever. Stinking city workers.Transfers were today, but I am staying and so is my companion. I am pretty excited that I am staying because we have a baptism this Saturday! It is a 14 year old boy and he really likes the church and the different things that the church has to offer so that is pretty cool. One of the young men that helped us teach him is going to baptize him so that will be an awesome experience for both of them. That is cool that Grandma and Grandpa are going to extend their mission. I know that it has been an awesome experience for them both. I hope that things keep going well for them. Well I do not know if I will be able to see the space station, but I will give it a try. Thanks for the info. Well things are going well here in Lincoln, it is actually only suppose to get up to like 84 today but back up into the 90s for the rest of the week. Oh well I just get to work on my tan. Well I hope all is going well for you and that you are doing well. I love you and wish you the best mom. Take care and stay out of trouble.Love your son,Elder Brickey


Hello there Curley Family-Well the person that would come and knock on our door was a member. She is or was less active and was a little nuts to put it nicely. She actually lived down the block in another set of apartments, but supposedly there were evil spirits and other stuff there so she was staying with her care taker who lived above us. At first we would just hear them fight and such, then we met her one day and she asked us if we would be able to help her move and help her get back to God and church. She than knew that we lived below her and so sometimes she would just show up at the door at random times and POUND on the door. One time at 11:30 pm she started pounding on the door yelling at her care taker and I just looked through the peep hole and than made sure that the door was locked then went back to bed. She than came to church one Sunday and since she is crazy she showed up at our door at 8:00 am. She said that when she got ready to leave the apartment that she tripped some alarm and that "they", no clue who they are though, were not going to let her leave. The only way that she would be able to leave is if we would escort her to the church, because they would not do anything to us for some reason. I guess that the easiest way to tell who "they" were was to look at the cars and which ever one had a green or yellow sponge, I do not remember which color, on the mid of the dash that was them. There was a TON of other weird things but I do not remember them all and am not so sure that I want to remember them. She now lives in Rocklin and out of my hair so sad to say, sort of but not really, not my problem anymore!It sounds like you get to deal with a bunch of crazies too. We are twiners, well sort of. I am definitely glad that I do not have to deal with that anymore. Though there are a few other interesting people in the area it is okay because I do not have to deal with them. You do seem to work in a very interesting environment though Ryan, glad that I do not work there thought the stories are pretty funny. I do agree that Dallin, Shanna, and Saedy are all the good kind of special. I think that all my family is the good kind of special. I love all my family and hope that they are all doing well. I miss and love you all so freaking much. I think that I may have helped Saedy in being opinionated, well I may take the credit but may not be the full cause. I just loved coming home and being able to play with both of your kids. Mainly Saedy though cause Dallin did not like me that much.Hey Shan I have been going to the Chiro too! Though the one I go and see is FREE which is sweet. He is a member and he adjusted my neck and then some of my back. I am suppose to go in again and see if everything is staying together and get the rest fixed. He was pretty funny when he was doing my back he found one and he told me that he felt it half way up my back and it HURT when he was messing with it, now though it feels really good and I feel like I have more energy and am doing better all together.It is true that no matter what you do you are going to eventually run into relations if you go far enough back. It means that you are going to make it very difficult for me to date when I get home! Oh well we are all eventually related going back to Adam so oh well I guess.I have been doing really well. My wrist is healing and my ankle is still healing too. I have actually been learning some new tricks. I can now lay on the ground a jump up onto my feet. I am learning how to do a back flip on the ground and a few other cool things. Yeah I know smart things to do when I seem to get myself hurt a lot, oh well it is FUN!Transfers were TODAY! But nothing has changed I am staying with my companion here in Lincoln for another 6 weeks. I was a little bit nervous that things would change but nothing did! The work has been going really good here though. We actually have a baptism this Saturday! Things seem to be going well so that is really nice! That is cool that there is missionary work going on back at home! Well I am glad to hear that things are going well. Take care of yourselves and each other and I LOVE YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH!Love,Elder Brickey
