The Mommy-Why Hello! How are you doing? Well to answer your question about how I got hurt. We were playing this missionary made up game called suzleball. It is like ultimate frisbee and soccer combined so it is pretty sweet. We usually have a couple people from the singles ward come in and play but there is mainly missionaries. I am doing better though. My leg is still a little sore but I am healing well. I was nervous about giving my departing testimony for a couple reasons. I still get the gitters in front of people and also it is the last time that I would be in Zone Conference. It is a standing tradition that the missionaries leaving at the end of the transfer give a final testimony in their last zone conference. Oh yeah I remember Cherolyn Jones now. Yeah she LOVED my blue eyes. They were a really cool family. Wow so you had all 7 of your grandkids in the house for the weekend. I bet that was exciting. Than again they are all getting big so hopefully they were able to take care of themselves pretty well. Wow that is sad about the teacher from AF. There seems to be a tramatic thing happen to them almost every couple years. That is really depressing. I will probably be taking my bike to the mission office on the Sunday before I leave and they will ship it. I am still not sure how much though I will give them a call and find out so we have an idea of what is going on. Yeah it is the Chase/WaMu account. I was just talking about Grandpa and how he slaughtered his own beef. A lot of people are surprised and a little shocked sometimes. It is really funny. I LOVE it when Grandpa does his own because you are getting some good meat to eat. Well our week has been really slow. My companion has been sick so we have been taking it slow and letting him get the rest that he needs to heal up and get better. Things are good though, other than things slowed down a bit lately. The weather is cooling down and we are supposedly getting rain today and tomorrow. We will see I do not really trust what a weather man says anymore. Well other than that not much is new. I hope that things are going well for you and that you are well. I LOVE YOU mom and send you my graditude for all you have done. Take care and I will talk to you later.Love always your son,Elder Brickey

Hello There!That is to bad that Dallin is allergic to nuts. That would suck, then again I am not really a nut person but nuts are in everything or at least the oil and that would be hard. Yeah I would not be happy if I had to get 4 shots so I can understand Aleana and not being happy. That is so weird though to hear that she is walking. I still feel like she was just born, than again Saedy and Dallin and Desiree were born yesterday it feels like. The weather here has been nice and cool. It is suppose to rain today and tomorrow but then again when was the last time a weatherman was right? The work has been a little slower lately. Than again my companion was sick this past week so I made sure he got the rest that he needed so he could get better quicker. This past week school was also out for some random reason. California schools are so weird and strange. I am striving my best to continue to do my best. But yes Ryan you are right I am drawing to an end and am fessing up to it. It is weird and I know I cannot deny or lie about it so I am just accepting it now. I bet I do drive my companion and the Elders I live with a little nuts due to the fact that it seems to come up a lot about how soon I do come home. It is so weird how often people talk about it and once they find out when I am going home, they bring it up a lot. I am not sure what I will do for work when I get home. I would love to work at like Whitknuckle Motorsports in Springville/Spanish but than again that would be to help me get into motorcylces again and A LOT of people have been telling me that I should NOT get another one. We will see. Well thanks for all you do and I hope you are well. I love you and wish you well. Until next time.Love,Elder Brickey
