Joseph Ross! We're so so excited to hear from you today! How is every single thing in your world? How was your week been? How was your travel and sleepover last week? How is the teaching going? How is the language coming? We are so excited for all of your news. We did the ward wave last night for Abby roller. She's on the plane right now headed to the Mexico MTC. And Spencer gets home in 4 weeks!! This morning I've been getting Seth all dressed up for school pictures :-). He has the yellow Hawaiian shirt, two SpongeBob ties, a hello my name is sticker on both shoulders, a pen protector thing in his pocket, and of course the family glasses. Last night was our first ring run read and ride. In other words we're trying to have Annie get some night hours as we go do a little drop off of a thank you or an encouraging note to someone right before bed while we read our Hardy Boys in the car. It was fun. School is crazy. It's going to be super busy but the world is also a very naughty place. I was praying about that and I got the words, quote you were born for such a time as this quote. Which is what God told Esther. I just felt to be a light and share my witness and my face and my joy and every way that I possibly can in all circumstances. To stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and places. Trash Panda stomping grounds and Groove Machine performed at the Utah State Fair Saturday night and they had so much fun. We also had a awesome word party and went to the temple with The Ayres .We're trying to go to the temple with the airs every Saturday morning. It's super fun. Annie went boating with the hunts for Abby's birthday. Last night I was trying to get Seth to practice the piano and he said after hiding inside the sunflower bench, Give me liberty or give me death! I chose death. We're sending you a little package with some family pictures do you need anything else? we are trying harder to be better. We are so so super excited for your letter today. We love you so much
