Emails 1/19/2009

Mommy Dearest-I put a hole in the suit coat and in the slacks. I am not exactly sure what happened I just noticed them when I was packing them away which was a rotten deal. I am sorry that I do not give details I kinda forget sometimes and I do not have that much time to email with having to email in numbers and such now. Thank you for putting the money into my account I really appreciate it. Yeah we do teach Seminary every now and then. I think that I have taught Seminary like 4 or 5 times now. We usually get calls from the teachers of the Seminary class asking if we could come and teach a class and so we do. I did not know that Sister Laycock was Sister Elhart's mom, but she sent me a Christmas Card. I still need to write people back from Christmas I am doing terrible with letters right now. I do have to admit that it is nice having a comp that has been out longer than you, that way they are in charge and get into trouble when things go wrong! It would be cool to stay in touch with some of them and I am sure that I will in some way or another! I got the package from you like the day after or something but that was ok because I was celebrating my bday on the 10th anyway. The weather here is in the 70's so actually kinda hot. That is so cool and weird at the same time that they send you letters about the position that I am holding. It will be interesting to read when I get home. Wow it sounds like you had quite the day when Dallin decided to run off. It is nice sometimes that dad leaves his window open, especially for situations like that. Well things are going well here. We have a baptism this Saturday and we have quite a few other investigators that are really close as well. I think that I am in the swing of the ZL thing but still am getting use to the area. Well I love you and hope you are well. Take care.-Elder Brickey

Curley's-Hey now it is not my fault that I got into an ACCIDENTAL wreck. I blame it all on my bike pedal! If it had not fallen off I would not have wrecked, but then again I do not remember if I was wearing my suit when I wrecked so I am not sure what caused the hole! You know something funny, I actually cover Paradise, CA. It is in the Zone anyway. Though I think Chico is more of a Paradise than Paradise, even though Paradise is GORGEOUS! We usually are in the North part of Chico though we do wander downtown every now and then. I do not know if I have ever felt cramped in an area because all of my areas have been HUGE! I heard that Dallin is quite quick and that he did not appreciate you leaving him the other day. I also heard that mom had a fun experience trying to get back into the house after because Saedy locked the house. Wow you are planning on doing the cakes for Ty, DJ, Taylor, and maybe Nicole that sounds like quite the cake fun! I think that it is funny that I forget to go into details, it is just hard to sometimes and sometimes I just forget too. What can I say I am an old man now! Than again that does make the rest of you ancient! HAHAHAHAHA Just kidding do not hurt me :-) Well things here are going really well actually. We have a baptism this Saturday and another lined up hopefully for next Saturday. The work here is awesome! Though there are the few things that you do have to deal with as a leader but that is okay. Well I am getting the duties down and I am doing well in getting along with my comp. It is nice to have a good comp and that he is older and takes the stress kinda off of me. We have had a couple incidents with some missionaries like laptops, movies and wanting to go home which have been fun to deal with. Though things have been good for learning and growing. Well I love you and hope you are well. Take care of yourselves and your kids.Little Brother,Elder Brickey
