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
Elder Burbidge

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!!
