Emails 3-23-09

The Mommy-I got the package thank you very very much! I won't lie I have already ate the Pringles and the microwave brownie things, they were pretty good. We do splits a couple times each transfer, like 2-4 times or so. I stayed here in our area and drove our car, the Malibu. The other missionaries have a Malibu as well but it is a 07 so a different body style, ours is nicer in my opinion. I did get the letter from WaMu I now just have to go to a WaMu and get it activated since I am not at home I cannot call them, supposedly. That is cool that you were able to see the Draper Dedication. I heard that they did like 12 sessions so by the end of the last one I heard that President Monson looked really tired and worn out. We still do the clean apartment award things but the people over them now do not send them out via email we now just get a little certificate. We took first place of course. It is easy though because it is just the two of us and our apartment is not that huge so it is easy to keep clean. Other than that things have been really good. Spring break is over at Chico State so our investigators are getting back into town. We actually did really well though this last week even though people were gone. It was nice to see the Lord bless us with more opportunities since people were gone. It was nice also because things have been going smoothly which is always nice. Well I hope that you get my card and that you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY mom! I LOVE YOU! Take care and I will talk to you later.Love your son,Elder Brickey

Curley's-It is good to hear from my beloved family! It sounds like things are going busy for you but hey that is good right? Thanks for telling me what an adjunct is. I hope that things go well and that you find a job that you like. I know how difficult that can be. That is cool that you are doing a cake for an investigator Shan. Brownie points? It was a little sad when planning things and finding that everyone was gone, but the Lord was in the work heavily this past week. We still were able to make our goals and exceed some actually. We now have some good things going for us. I feel so lucky to have the Lord on our side, it makes things a lot nicer and easier. We do get the door slammed in our faces sometimes, but hey that is fine. It is interesting though because the other day a guy let us in and then after talking for a while he found out the we were Mormons and he was all "if I would have known that at the first I probably would not have let you in. Now I like you and am interested" so that was pretty cool. I have only been here for 3 months (2 transfers) and President told us in interviews that the Brethren came out and said that they want us missionaries to be left in an area for 6-8 months or maybe longer. So I could be here for a while but I am totally ok with that. That is funny that Saedy is getting her personality out. I am exicited to get pictures, than again pictures are always fun and good. It will be interesting to see Aleana and meet her for the first time. It sounds like she is already blooming out though and becoming her own person. That is sweet that Dallin loves the villians. I am kinda a fan as well, at least in some movies. Thank you for getting a new camera for me, no I do not have it yet, but thanks for at least getting one for me. I really appreciate it. I love my family you are the best. Thank you again. I hope you are all well and I love you very much. Take care and I will talk to you later.Love,Elder Brickey
