The Mommy-Hello there! How are you doing? Both Elder Knight and I are staying for another transfer together. That is sweet that Nicole and Ben have a place. Well looks like I will have a few places to crash when I get home. Between Scott, Nicole, the cabin, home and wherever else I have a lot of places to go. I did hear that Jess was going to go and do a C-section, or was thinking about it. That is a big baby for sure. I am sure that Ryan is super excited. He is going to be a good dad. So did Chad and Camie get the adoption thing to go through then? I did not hear about that, or if I did I forgot. That is cool that you have a lot of things done or prepped for Nicole's wedding. She must be getting excited. It is crazy to think that in less than a month the second to last Brickey will be married leaving just me! That is right you are going to be going to the St. George Temple this week. That is awesome, I am so excited for Nicole and Ben. They are so doing the right thing. It is going to be cool for Nicole because she is able to have the support of pretty well everyone in the family. That will be sweet though because when I finally get married ALL my family will be able to be there! Well lets get away from that subject cause that feels weird. Well this week we did not have much besides get people settled from transfers. We did have a meeting with President Pendleton on Friday though which was cool. After the meeting we played some softball. We split into North vs South and I am North so we do not have as many ZL's so Pres was on our team. We dominated in the game. I went 6 for 6 at the plate and had three catches and two assists for outs. It was super fun! I have a sweet raspberry on my left leg from a slide to catch a ball. We are doing good in the work though. We have some new investigators that seem really promising so that is always super nice. Other than that not much else has been going on besides normal missionary work. Well I love you and hope you are doing well. Take care and I will talk to you later!Love your son,Elder Brickey

Curley's-Wow you had a eventful week. I am glad to hear that I was remembered for a little while after I called. Though I do have to admit it will be nicer to be able to see you all too. It is all good though the work is awesome and I love my mission. We are working with some awesome people. We are doing the new member lessons with Ernie, he just got baptized on the 9th, and we have other lessons with less actives as well as investigators. We actually just picked up a new investigator named Apple. She seems really interested and seems to have a sincere desire to learn so that is cool. Only time will tell though on what happens there. We were suppose to have a baptism this Friday but he got antied by his parents and friends so he backed out. We are trying to meet with him still though to see if we can resolve his concerns. We also went and had a meeting with all the ZL's and the President. After we went and played some softball which was sweet since I love baseball. I actually went 6 for 6 at the plate and had a couple really good plays in the outfield where I played. I am surprised that I did not hurt my shoulder it did not hurt or anything after so that was nice. Well I am thankful for all that you do. I love you all very much. Take care.-Elder Brickey
