The Mommy-For the car getting out of the imound, yes we were lucky enough to get to pay for it. I do not think that my sarcasim went through the computer but it sucked having that happen. We learned a leason for sure though about parking in downtown Chico at night. We are still getting well taken care of by members. There are hardly ever nights that we do not have dinners. We are also now starting to have dinners with the student ward which is REALLY fun, and they are actually really good. Not just mac and cheese or ramen and such. The week went actually really well, or I should say that Sunday was awesome. We went to church and one of the members in the 6th ward brought two non-member friends with her. They had an awesome experience and they set up a time for us to teach them this coming week. I also went and talked to the boyfriend of one of the members and he is not a member so I asked him if he would be interested in taking the lessons and he said yes, so we are going to start teaching him now too. It was a very productive Sunday and they are all such good people. I am also going to be going to the Temple this Saturday with the Newton's from Oroville. They are getting their endowments out and than sealed, so I am super excited since I missed Scott's and I will miss Nicole's more than likely I will at least be able to see what they are like so I am super excited. Not to mention the Newton's feel like they are family anyway. I did not hear about Uncle Ray. That is scary that his heart condition is genetic, one more thing for me to worry about. I already have the irregular heart beat or irradic heart disrythmia whatever. Wow that is scary that there was a shooting by Aunt Jolene's. I am worries about how the world will be when I have kids from the way things are going. Oh well as long as there is the gospel in our lives we will be taken care of, that is what matters. Anywho. Well I am doing well, a little wet from all the rain but that is ok to me. I hope that you are doing well and that all is well for you and the family. I love you mom and am very thankful to have you as my mother. There ain't no other mother like my MOMMY! LOVE YOU.Love your son,Elder Brickey

Howdy Curley Family-Well I am glad to hear that you had a good time for Saedy's birthday party. I cannot believe my Bug is already two. Than again my Des is almost 9, man I am getting old. I still do not believe that I am 21, I do not feel "special" or different. That is funny that the kids are getting their attitudes, it will be fun when I get home to see how different they all are from each other. Good luck with the job hunt. I am not looking forward to that or to school when I get home. Those reasons almost make me want to extend my mission, than again we should not procrastinate as it says in Alma 34 so, yeah. I can cook really well, when I want to which is not often. I usually do like pasta, oysters, cereal, sandwiches, and of course mac and cheese. I do some interesting variations though that make it a new flavor though evertime I cook something though. I will add a new ingredient or something crazy to spice it up a bit. I make a MEAN mac and cheese that a lot of missionaries like. I also drink a lot of apple juice. I found a gallon for only like three dollars so that was cool. The only problem is I can go through them WAY fast if I am not careful. That is cool that Saedy makes comments about me. You will have to see if someone can remember what she said. I will have to take her for a ride on a "motorcycle" when I get home. I will be the "COOL" uncle. Yeah baby! Anyways. This past week was really good. We were slowing down on the work a bit but this Sunday was AWESOME! We went to church and the Bishop of the 2nd ward wants to get the ward mission plan up and really focused on which will be good. Than in the singles ward we picked up two new investigators with another lesson set for the coming week. It was so cool. The Lord has helped us SO much lately. We have had some fun confessions as of late from different members, less actives, and even investigators. Well I hope you are all doing well. I know that you will to a good job on Ty's cake Shan, you are my sister therefore you are good! ;-) I love you all and send you my love and my best wishes. Take care and I will talk to you later.Love,Elder Brickey
