Dad stuck some $$$ in your account. Just get a really cheep camera at Walmart so you have a bit left over to last you........ (last you)
Well, our visit w/ Nin had to come to an end on Thurs. She flew out on the worst of the snowy days. We couldn't stand letting her go, that Penny is the sweetest thing!!! This Fri. I fly to UT to stay w/ the Burbidge kids while their parents take a cruise to Mexico. That ought to be fun. Then, we're planning to go and stay w/ Nicole in May (right in the heart of Tornado season!!)
I'll be writing you a letter (by hand) so I'll let you go here for now.
I love you tons and tons

my companions name is elder Kunz and he is from nampa idaho he has only been out one transfer so im finishing up the training on him. he is probably my favorite companion in the mish thus far.

The bike works pretty good im gonna need to buy a new front wheel pretty soon the rim is all warpped and poopy but it will do for now.

the only major problem is the camera situation i dont have a fully functioning camera after the bike accident.

corynn wrote me a couple of weeks ago she is getting ready to graduate and she said that she is just finishing up her mission papers so thats pretty cool. I think im gonna write her back.

i guess hand writing would be cooler sometimes its hard to do the email thing i just hate buying stamps.

this morning at like 5 we went hiking to these really cool waterfalls way up in the mountains it was awesome. for the rest of the day we are probably gonna go shopping and write some letters and play some games and stuff.

well great uncle gordon is trying to get ahold of us i still havent been able to get ahold of your cousins. but ive called them a bunch of times so i dont know.

well ive got to run but i love you guys and tell cati i love her as well.
love Elder Burbidge

thank you so much for the birthday package. The cookies are so good. well here i am 21 YEARS OF age and im just livin the high life the other day i went down to the dmv and registered for a california drivers license and i was thinking that they would just take my picture and just hand over the new license. wrong I had to take the written test again man all of the sudden i got real nervous. then the typiclly unplesant lady behing the desk asked "Have you even read the material" and i was in a blur i said no so she flopped a drivers hand book on the desk and said get your test when your number is called and go over to the corner and fill it out. so im in a haze thinking what do i even know about driving in california. so i get all situated and ready to test and i finish her up and wait in line to get the thing corrected. three ladies ahead of me got turnned away because of crapy scores so i thought i was dead. got up there i could have missed six but i only missed three and they were particular to california driving so basicly my new license is on its way to the mission office.

well one more thing that i hadnt realized had broken from the crash was my camera so iam now at this time camera-les

i will send the camera card home though it is full i have some sweet vidios of the hills arond here at night.

well life is good 2 of the people i taught and set baptismal dates with when i was in north hollywood are getting baptized this coming sunday im pretty excited.

thanks for being number 1 parents im loving life out here.

Love

Hey Jess,
We are thinking of you on your day and hoping you're having a great birthday. We're celebrating all of our old Jesse memories ~ especially driving the old brown buick up to the hosible -in the snow- to get you and take you home to be in our family!! We are so grateful that you are serving a mission. We love who you are and how much you love the gospel and the Lord. You are such an inspiration to us!! :) We feel so blessed to have you in our life.

Hopefully you got your package. We stuck a little money in there so you could get yourself a birthday cake and some ice cream.

We really enjoyed reading your last e-mail, well except we feel bad that you got wounded!! Are you all healed up? Did you replace your helmet? Is the bike fixed?

We know the Lord has great things in store for you and we know you are doing great things.

Did you meet the Lee's yet? Next weekend Uncle Gordon will be there for a visit. Maybe you'll see them somehow. (I know you arn't suppose to hook up with the relations, but you might run into them)

Here's a note from Facebook!!

thank you so much mom they were sorly needed. so let me tell you of the grand adventures of this week its been a crazy one. it all starts with wednesday afternoon we are coming home right before dinner so we could grab the story we were going to use in our dinner lesson. so we are riding along and on the way home there is this spot in the sidewalk that is a perfect accedent waiting to happen we usually avoid it but this day we had some good spiritual expereinces and i was in the clouds. so i found myself heading right towards this spot of death in the side walk and ther was no room for coreection so i follow my natral motorcyclist instict and just stand up and jump it (remember that if i hadnt things would have been alot worse) so im sailing through the are and everything is fine until the ground started approaching and the funny thing was i was headed straight into a flower bed. so i landed and almost recovered but ther was a seperator in the flower bed and it was basicly just a cement curb caught me and through back onto the side walk and i slide riping my pants and a couple of good gashes into my knee leg arm and one good one on the chin. so now just zoom out on this situation location right in front of the mexican restuarant mi ranchitos. for everyone to see. my companion had already rounded the corner and was well on his way when he noticed that i wasnt following and he just thought that maybe my chain came off(which happens frequently) so he just waited until i came pedeling around the corner as fast as i could to try and escape my embarrasment. the damage done was as follows a bent front rim a broken back spoke a pair of pants some scuffs on the shoes and a crack right down the center of the helmet so that was kind of a set back luckly i didnt spend a ton of money on the bike because i wnt to the bike shop to see what they could do and it looks like im gonna have to shell out 40$ on a new rim but i think thats pretty much it because they can take some of the spokes off the bent rim and put them on the back rim. well i probably will have to get a pair of new pants but i found a place thats real cheap.

on the better side we found an awesome family that has alot of questions and concerns but so far they love us and really are just looking for somthing for their family so it is going to be alot of fun helping them. well we bike an average of 30 to 40 miles aday and im feeling more in shape so its alot of fun. this sunday was stake conference and we had an area athority seventy come and he was really cool. there was alot of talkes that were just super awesome and really gave me a spiritual high.

well i love my life i hope everything is good at home i miss you guys and tell cati i love her and miss her.

Love your son
Elder Burbidge
