Well this week was pretty awesome. Especially when I got to talk to you guys. I want to say some things first about skype. Well first is when I get rushed to talk to you guys I usually dont talk very great and sometimes I just say oh that is super awesome and oh that is cool. hahahaha so sorry for that I was just really surprised to see you guys and really it was really awesome to talk to you guys. hahah I just said it again. Well another thing is that dad you are looking like a buff man and looking really good. Also Griffin and Nixon are growing up so fast. I was really surprised when shellie walked in with a baby that I didnt know and I finally realized that it was Griffin. haha Wow he is adorable and I just cant wait like always to play with them. Also Hayden is looking good like always hahaaha. Well all of you guys were just amazing. haha Well another thing is that the clock that Ben and Shellie gave you Mom is really crazy and when I saw that I kind of got a little blahhhh. haha but it is alright now. I hope that I showed how excited to see you guys and Bens big news. Also this is for Grandpa Lowe, Grandpa you are truely one of the strongest people I have ever known and I was so happy that you came. When you gave me the advice and just your testimony, that gave me so much motivation and I just really want to say that I love the heck out of you grandpa. Usted es lo maximo. hahaha but wow that whole expirence was great and it just gives me so much motivation to work even harder.

 The best day of the year!!! Joshua was happy, healthy, humble and hilarious!

Josh loved seeing his little nephews! Nixon said, "Hi Dosh!" and he met baby Griffin for the first time :) 

Josh was happy to hear that his release date is a big factor in the Downs' family planning!

Josh loved visiting with his Grandpa.

Well this week was pretty good. This week we got to go to the temple and truly it is the house of the lord and I feel so much peace in the temple. So many answers and just peace about all the things that have been happening. Wow it was really great and I cant wait to go again. Well I have a picture of me with the temple but I look really weird. haha The way I am standing and everything but it is a pretty cool picture so I will send it. Also this week we got to visit our awesome investigators Guadalupe and her children Cristian and ariana. They are so cool and they love to learn about the gospel. Well this week we got to have the chance to teach them about the principles in the gospel and we felt like it was the right time to invite them to baptism. So they have a date for May 23. It was super awesome and I am so excited for them. but like always I need to be patient in these kind of things. But as we teach them I trust in the lord that he will give them the right answers and come to learn that baptism is the right thing to do. It was super awesome and we are just starting to find a lot of people that say I want to be baptized. haha That is pretty awesome but still we need to be patient. I love being patient and teaching these people that are so humble and I lot of them are ready to listen to the message that we have. woooo this church is true. Well that is all that happend for this week and I feel like the next week will be even better. I love you all and I will talk to you guys next week.}
