The Mommy-It was AWESOME being able to baptize and yes I did have to get special permission to go back down there. I got the permission pretty easy though because my trainer is now one of the Assistants to the President and they love me anyway! That is to bad about Utah Auto, I have a lot of friends that worked there. Well I hope that you do well with the volleyball stuff. I am actually really sore right now because we went and did a 10 mile hike yesterday and we did it in four hours with stopping and playing too. With the garments I want the normal kind, the cotton poly ones. The fires that are in Cali are down south right now and we are not having any problems with them up here so that is nice. We are getting fed every night and getting fed really well too. Things are going really well right now and the work is going awesome too. We are having really good success and we actually have a baptism that is coming up so that is sweet. My comp is good we have been getting along really well. It is easier to say that he goes home on the 23rd of December than say how long he has been out. Well how are you doing mom? What is new and exciting? I love you and hope you are doing well.Your son,Elder Brickey


Curley Family-Well it sounds like you have had quite a week. It seems like things are going well around the house and it is finishing up. It is weird to think that the house will be different when I get home. Than again it does not surprise me cause mom does like to change things up and improve. I won't lie in saying that I want dad to get the shop done. I am hoping that he does the loft thing cause that way I could sleep there when I get back. I did not know until today that Taylor was getting married. Man it is weird to think about that. There are not going to be many single people when I get home that is for sure. I am sure that mom will like her new stove. I love the gas stoves that we have here in Cali, they seem to work better. It does take a little while to get use to but once you do man they are nice. Well transfers are actually this next week. Though my companion and I are staying together though we might get another companion because my comp now goes home mid transfer, actually on the 23rd of Dec so right before Christmas. Well the work here in Cali is going well. I got all fired up from being able to baptize Maryellen. We have a 9 year old girl that is going to be getting baptized by the end of the month or beginning of next month. We are also going to talk to our other progressing investigator about baptism. The last time we talked to him he side stepped the commitment, so this time we are getting something solid out of him. Well things are going well here and it sounds like things are going good back there too. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the holiday season. I love you all very much. Take care and I will talk to you later.Love your brother,Elder Brickey
