Emails 8-17-09

The Mommy-Before we got the dresser we used our closet and a cupboard/linnen closet to store all the clothes. It was not good, I did not like it at all. It was a real pain especially with my socks. The furniture usually has been donated. It is also from churches that get remodeled or new stuff. Our couch is actually kinda hideous and looks like it came from the 70s or early 80s. It is in great shape and was a custom built couch so whatever, it works. We are kind of able to keep in contact with people from our old area, but not really. We have quite a bit on our plate with trying to get the area moving and finding all the people we are suppose to be teaching. It is somtimes really difficult but hey nothing worthwhile is easy. We do go to the same church but at different times so it is hard to see anyone. We sometimes see people as we come out of sacrament meeting but usually not. It is getting hot here too. I was all happy with the cool weather and it goes and gets hot again, no good. You should see the lawns out here. Between the heat and then SO many forclosed homes there are a lot of sad looking lawns. Wow I did not know that Zack was getting married. I did hear from him that he moved in with a girl and she has a kid. He was thinking that they would get married but not till after I got home. Guess things changed. Our week was really good. We have an investigator named Megan. She is 14 and her mom is a member but was less-active for a while. She has been taking the lessons for quite a while and this last Wednesday we commited her to get baptized and she excepted so that is AWESOME. She is a really smart girl and really awesome, I am SO stoked for her and for her mom too. Her mom was SO happy she was in tears. Other than that things are moving along. We are getting the new area down and meeting more members so that is good. Other than that not much has been happening. Oh yeah there is a member in the ward that is REALLY into cars, so naturally we are the best of friends now. He has an Ariel Atom which is a VERY rare car and suppose to be one of the fastest american made cars. It looks a lot like a formula one car but is street legal. He is going to take us for a ride so I am super excited! That is fun that they are doing more road construction. Hopefully that will all be done by the time I get home. Anyways well things are going good and I am doing well. I love you mom and appreciate all you do. LOVE YOU!Love your son,Elder Brickey

Hey Hey Hey!Whats up FAMILY! How the heck are you doing? It sounds like things went pretty well this last week. That will be fun to go to the Temple dedication. Nicole is awesome, than again our family is AWESOME. I am definiately the most stoked about seeing everyone again. I am glad that your knee is doing better Shan. I am for sure not jealous of that injury. Than again I am just a whimp when it comes to pain and suffering. Though I deal with it quietly. Your kids crack me up. That is funny that Saedy is a bitter. I remember that was an easy way to get the things that I wanted when I was younger, my teeth were SHARP when I was little. Dallin though I do not have any claim on that. I did not really care what shirt I wore at least that is what I remember. Sweet deal though $1, I like that. You will have to tell Danielle HI for me. I have not seen or heard about any Clear Creek peoples in for days. I am doing well, yes still in one piece. A little scatter brained at times but overall good. I will not lie that I have rubbed it in a couple times with the greenie. I told him one that REALLY got to him. I told him that I have half as many pdays than he has months. It was NUTS. I am in the 2nd to last transfer. On Sept 14th, I think, I begin the final one! Wow that is SCARY! I cannot believe that it is that soon already. Well other than that all is well here. I hope you are well. I love you all and wish you the best. Take care until next time.Love,Elder Brickey
