Mommy-That is good that you got the b-day card. The pictures are a little older. Elder Lowe is/was my companion at the time that the pictures were taken. Yeah I know that my legs are white but it was the first time that they had seen sun in I do not know how long. They look really toned and defined though if I do say so myself. For people bringing me home, I have no idea if people other than parentals can take me. I guess I could ask President Friday at our meeting that we will have with him. I am not sure though if it will necissarily happen but if it does they wanted to come out and visit and go to a couple Temples in Utah. Since we have a couple that are fairly close that is. They do LOVE me though so that is nice, well it seems like it anyway. Transfers are acutally today/tomorrow, but we got the call and Elder Rogers is heading out. He is going to Redding, which is actually where we met for the first time. He is going to be living in the same apartment that he was in a year ago just now he is a ZL instead. I am staying and my new companion is Elder Knight, I am not sure much about him but I will let you know as I get to know him. Wow it sounds like you made quite the haul of things for your bday. That is so weird to think that Brad is coming home and that Grandma and Grandpa are all but finished with their mission as well. Things here are good. It is in the 70s most days which is really nice, but means that it is going to be a WARM summer. The new shoes are good. They are still not quite broken in yet but they seem to be pretty good. My other stuff is holding together pretty well. Things are actually going really well here. The work is picking up really well and it seems like there is a lot going. For conference we will be at the church and then at a members house with less-actives and some non-members. We are going to do a little special thing for the Sunday sessions. We are going to do a little "party" in between sessions. We will watch a really sweet movie that we have about the life of Joseph Smith and eat some grub so it will be great! Things are going well though and the Lord has been blessing us a lot lately. It has been really nice to have things going smoothly lately, it usually happens right before transfers which is weird. Well thanks again for all you do mom. I really appreciate you and the love and support that you have given to me throughout my mission and throughout my life. I LOVE YOU! and will talk to you later.Love your son,Elder Brickey

Curley's-Well the weather here in Cali is warm and sunny! We are mainly in the 70's but we have been getting a lot of wind lately that makes things a little cooler. It is all good though cool is fine with me. I did get the invite for mom's party, I was just scared that if I responded last time that she would see my response and then be all "what a party?" so I waited. That is good that the party went well. You should have known mom, when she goes shopping she does go with the list and sometimes the list can be long. Than again if you go with dad you just have to talk to everyone since he somehow knows them all. Man I love our parents, they are great! Thanks for making fun of my white legs, all I have to say is I wear pants like 24/7. Ok maybe like 16/7 or something like that, whatever. I do however think that my legs look rather toned and defined though! That is sweet that you got a job Ryan. I do agree though about divorces and I never plan on having to deal with them so. That is so funny that Dallin likes to get on his Rameumptom and do is spill. That is not really who he should be looking to but hey at least he is taking interest in the scriptures though. That would be really funny to see I am not going to lie. I got the camera thank you very much. It is in good condition. It is a little slower than I am use to but hey it is a camera and it works so. I have used it a few times. It is definitely different than my other cameras but it works and it takes pictures. So you can give him a good feedback, if you want. I am pretty stoked for conference. Than again it is just something that I have fallen in love with on the mission. It is SO cool to hear the different testimonies and things that the Prophet and Apostles have to tell us for this time. I am also excited to see who the new Apostle will be. Other than that not much is really going on. Transfer calls were today. I am staying but Elder Rogers is leaving me. I am getting Elder Knight, he has been out a little longer than me but I do know really know him so it will be fun to get to know him. We also have a couple really good potencial investigators who might be setting a baptismal date soon so that is pretty exciting. Well things are good and I hope you are all well. I love you and wish you all well.Love,Elder Brickey
