Its a sunny day and a time to play footie!

We got an e-mail from Brett today. It's weird to get one after just talking to him on Sunday. But we'll take it whenever we can get it. He said that he was glad Michelle had received her Mother's Day card. He said that he had to buy the card in March because they have Mothering Sunday on March 22nd (which is his birthday). He said that he bought it then and saved it till it was closer and he could fill it in and send it to Michelle. He thought what it said on the front was appropriate. It said: "Sorry I won't be home for Mothers Day. I have no washing to be done and I'm alright for cash! With love on Mothers Day!" He said that it made him crack up reading it and that he could only imagine that we would think it was funny as well!

Brett also said that today they were having a practice for Mission Football (soccer) which was going to be in a week in Coventry. He said that he was going to try and recall the skills he had back in Fourth Grade when he played soccer and then he'd see what wouldl happen.

He also mentioned that he got his Hump Day package (Brett's been out a year on Thursday, May 14th and so will be over the hump). He said that he really loved it. He said that all the other missionaries were jealous of what he got, so he shared some of his American Skittles with all of them. He said the thing he was most happy to receive was the American deodorant. He said that he has missed it sooooo much!!! He said that in England they only have spray deodorant which he does not like. We also sent his watch back with a new battery in it and he was happy to get that too.

We had asked Brett if there was anything that he wanted from home and he asked if it would be possible to get a pitch pipe. He said that he's doing a lot of singing while on his mission. He said that there is a professional singer (who's a sister) that he ends up singing with a lot. He also said that he got to sing a solo at a baptism last week.

He ended by saying "Cheers! Elder Brooksby:)"
