Last week Joseph said he wanted to talk to Ethan this week. Ethan's Google hangouts wasn't working, but eventually they got connected via skype, and it was so funny to listen to them talk. Ethan talking about Ferb-Latin and trying to teach Joseph to speak it, and Joseph trying to take that random teen thing and turn it into a gospel topic about the gift of tongues. Also, Ethan was sharing some gospel parallels between bowling and reading your scriptures, how after you get a strike (or read your scriptures) you think you can relax the next day (next frame...) but NO - it's even more important to get a strike again/read again, and if you do get a strike again, it's even more important to get it AGAIN. It was funny. Ethan also shared how my dad's parents were bowlers, and so it's in our blood, and Ethan said he is like Luke and Mel and Joseph are like Leah and don't realize how the bowling force is strong in our family, so they have not recognized the power of bowling yet, but yeah. It was funny to see Joseph trying to relate/understand but also wanting to shake their shoulders and say that that bowling doesn't matter, just the gospel! It will be fun to see Mel and Ethan experience a mission and then they'll understand Joseph better and why he doesn't care about what movies they watched and how awesome they were. Anyway... short letter from Joseph this week - but he's in good spirits as always.

Subject: La Boda de Claudia y Jairo
Well this week was awesome!
The best part was Claudia and Jairos wedding!
And she had a lot of friends help with the decorations and so it was actually the sweetest wedding I have seen in Guatemala.
And the large majority of the people who came were not members of the church which means we got lots of references!! They are doing well and she is preparing to be baptized on Saturday! Keep her in your prayers!!
At church we had Claudia and Sandi again! Sandi is doing really well too. She is reading a lot in the Book of Mormon and stayed after church to see a ward baptism. And her and Claudia both made comments about the chapters in Sunday School.
Remember that when we keep the commandments we are happy (Mosiah 2:41)
