Mommy-Well how are you doing this week? I am doing wonderful. Our week was awesome. We did away with one of the ways that we count lessons so we were scared that we were not going to meet our goal of 20 lessons but the Lord provided and we actually got 22 lessons, so that was awesome! I think that it was the dryer that ate my garments because I do not think my companions are the same size as me. I am a weird build. I do like the cotton-polys best. That is so cool that DJ is endowed and getting ready to go through the Temple to be sealed. It is actually a little nuts to think that but good for him. The guy that reminds me of me is Daniel Adams. He is originally from Biggs, just a little further south of Chico, but he lives in Chico now. He is a firefighter for Calfire and he actually just got a call back to his firehouse and he is excited about that. We had a VERY awesome lesson with him this last Friday. He is doing so well. He actually said the closing prayer without us asking him too and he gave us both hugs as we left. It was such a powerful lesson and night. Jesus, or Ernie, is getting baptized May 9 at 2 pm. We are really excited for him because he is excited and his non-member family is coming to the baptism so that is really awesome. The weather here is still warm/hot depending on the day. I am getting use to the warm though so it is not as bad. It is weird though because the weather will flash from hot to cold so much and without any warning. On Mother's Day I got to church from 715 am to about 430 pm so probably sometime in the evening would be best! That is weird to think that is that last call home. Anyways I hope all is going well for you. I LOVE YOU MOMMY!Love your son,Elder Brickey

Curley Family-Well it sounds like things are going well for you all back there in the big UT. It is always interesting to hear what the kids are up to and the mischef that they get into. That is pretty sad though that Dallin took and drilled mm's car. Hopefully it was not that bad or to much damage. Than again you could always take and buff out the damage. Well anyways hopefully they do not cause to much trouble. Than again they are Brickey's so good luck with that one! It is good to hear that you are staying busy with work Ryan. It is to bad to hear that people are getting a lot of divorces but hey at least it is work. I would love to do things with driving but I have no idea of how to get into that field. Your welcome for the card, I am glad you like it. It took me all of 2 minutes to find it. The monkey kind of stood out to me so I figured hey that works for Shan. Well I hope that things go well for DJ's wedding and the cake there. I know it can be fun getting that stuff done. Well anyways things are going well here. The temperature is still warm/hot. The work is going well though and we have a lot of good people that we are working with. We have a baptism coming up on May 9 so that is really sweet. It is so weird to think that Mothers Day is just around the corner. Well thigns are going well and I hope that you are all doing well. LOVE YOU!-Elder Brickey
