Elder West "poddy trianing"

I am loving, LOVING, getting my brothers emails each week. I remember how fun it was to get emails from my other siblings and I am so glad to get to have a missionary sibling again.
I have to be honest, my baby brother Joe is funny, but in his letters he is a hoot! Seriously he has a great writing voice. He told a story this week about how everyone was talking about a party, but instead of saying fiesta they tried to say party...but they pronounced it poddy! All i can do is laugh and be glad that Joe is also teaching some English classes while he is there! Hahaha, sigh, he said to tell our potty training kids that in El Salvador people celebrate going to the "poddy".
Keep up the excellence little brother (who by the way is several inches taller then me! :) ;) )

Uncle Michael

Elder west got home this last Thursday. It was a busy weekend of fun and family, but first lets just focus on
Michael getting home!!!!

Today is the day!

Uncle Michael returns home today! Eli and Grandma and I spent a few hours last night decorating and other fun stuff. we wont be able to meet him at the airport (for a number of reasons) so we wanted to decorate home a bit so that he would know we are excited. I actually forgot to take pictures last night but i will take pictures later. In the meantime here is a picture of him from a pretty close before he left just 2 years ago!

Eli wrote uncle Michael a letter and says he remembers him (time will tell) I will post an update soon!

We missed this guy!!!!
