Mommy-The missionary that invented the game I think is Elder Suzzle so that is why it is called Suzzleball. I am not sure if my companion got sick from me or from this person that we met with. I am hoping more for the later. I do not really remember exactly who I was talking to about killing beef but they were interested until I told them about all the things that Grandpa liked to get me to hold. That grossed them out a bit. We have been getting a lot of rain. It has been really good for here too. Though it made it a nightmare to go out and work. I hate getting soaking wet and trying to get into people houses so that is not fun. I have not heard about the mud slides though I would not doubt it with how much rain we got in under a week. It was crazy! I do not remember a Heather Christensen, or Ms. Christensen so I could not tell you how long she has been there. Then again I did not associate really at all with the band portion of the school. My companion is doing better now though so that is good. Though he is getting trunky with me so that is not good since he will have three transfers left after I leave. It does make it hard to get things done and get out and work when you keep getting sick. I feel like the apartment mom because one of the other missionaries we live with, Elder Monson, got sick and I would hear him tossing and turning so I would get him some meds and he would fall asleep then I would be awake for a while then finally fall asleep after 12 or so. It has been a long couple of weeks that way. I feel like I am taking care of a bunch of sick kids. It is fine though I like being needed and helping so that is cool. I am not sure if I will need money or not for the box. It is kinda large though. I think it is 17x17x12 and is really heavy. The mission office said they could send it home and it would be cheaper, I just do not know how much it will be. I would think that I will have some time to email next week. Than again the Library does not open till 12 and I have no idea when I am suppose to be at the mission office. I will try though. That is funny that Truman thinks his bids are better than yours. Than again there are a lot of funny things about him so. Not to be mean or anything but yeah! Things are going good though. We almost had to move this coming week. We are trying to move in with members to reduce the price of living and a member stepped up and the mission pres wanted us in there before transfers. Though when they went to inspect they found out that their daughter-in-law might me moving in for a while and that is a no no so we are not moving now. Things are good though. It is crazy to think that I come home in 8 days but at the same time I am excited. Well I hope you are well and I really appreciate all that you do for me. I LOVE YOU! Take care and I will talk to you later.Love always your son,Elder Brickey

Curley Family-I think I will try to email next week but will give no promises. I have no idea what is going to happen so I am a little lost and confused for that. Things sound like they are going good though. I find that SO cute that Dallin was praying and gets mom to come and say the prayer. He is a good kid it sounds like you did a good job with him. I cannot promise anything about bringing snow but it would be fun to go trick-or-treating with them. I like getting candy. Though I would feel probably really out of place. Oh wells I do look forward to seeing you all so. Wow Dallin had to get a cavity filled that much of sucked. I do not envy that at all. Then again it seems like my teeth are deteriorating and that sucks because I have been taking really good care of them. I am sorry to hear that the job thing is still causing stress and issues. I still say that I am not excited for that part. I so wish that I could get a job that just has me sit at home and do nothing. Than again doing something in the outdoors would be killer too. Well things are going good here. We are trying our best to stay busy and for me to stay focused. It is kind of hard with everyone reminding me that I am a short timer. Even our Bishop reminds me. He is an awesome man though and like to tease me so that is cool. Well other than that not much has been going on. I actually have been packing up a little here and there since I know that I will be leaving in a week. I have a ginormous box that I am trying to send home but I will probably be home before it will be. Well I hope you are doing well and I am trying my best to stay focused and finsh off with a bang. I LOVE you all and hope things go well for you. Take care and I will talk to you NEXT week!Love,Elder Brickey
