Hey everyone!

I wanted to write a quick check-in to let you all know I'm alive. Please pray for Donna that she can get baptized on the 9th of April! 

Here are some pictures. 

Love yall!

PS:  He wrote! haha!  We had a fun chat with Ethan when he called today. He had an interesting Sunday School experience where the teacher went off-topic for a while.  We had a good discussion about using entire quotes and not just picking out the words or lines that defend your position.  It's fun to see how mature he is when he talks about gospel things.  He certainly has grown and changed.

They had a dinner appointment yesterday where the family talked about what they learned in Come, Follow Me the week before.  Ethan said they talked about how Joseph shows attributes of Christ.  As missionaries, they don't study the Come, Follow Me curriculum.  He said it was cool to hear about what the family had learned that week.  He wished that was what would have been discussed in Sunday School.

The Windsor area is a pretty affluent area.  Ethan said they don't have the opportunity to do service very often because no one needs help moving things.  They went up to a huge house by a lake the other day.  Ethan said it looked like 2 houses because the garage so a separate building with multiple doors. They have an appointment to go back so he is going to tell us how the inside looks.  But he was impressed.  

For p-day, they are going bowling, thrift store shopping, and probably to lunch.  He is enjoying the work and is healthy and happy. Not that anyone is counting, but Ethan has 99 days left in his mission.  It is crazy how fast/slow it has gone by.  

He didn't say anything about the pictures, so enjoy them for what they are, I guess.

Thanks for all your support of Ethan!

Since Ethan is a Zone Leader, they go on exchanges with missionaries a lot so he takes pictures with random missionaries but doesn't label them.
