How do you say "I love you?"

Hello! It's been...FOREVER since I wrote last. But after receiving an email from my brother today, I couldn't help but share it. I know you may think your brothers/sisters are awesome, but I guarantee mine are WAY cooler. Here's a tidbit from Travis's latest email:
"IM A DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I am a father finally! And my kid is this cool Guatemalan named Elder Diaz. He also would like to write you and marry you eventually. Just so you know. You are very famous here in la mision Nicaragua Managua Norte. Everyone talks about Elder Harris's sister and how good looking she is! So hey! You are a hot ticket item. And remember it too."
So to clear something up really fast..My brother is NOT a dad. At least not in the traditional sense. Those of you who've been on missions know the term well, but for the less informed, to be a dad means to train a new missionary. After reading that message, I just about died of laughter. My face was all shades of red and my stomach hurt from laughing so much. I wish everyone could have a brother as awesome as mine. If you are ever feeling a little down and lacking in self esteem, just let me know and maybe I can have my brother shoot you a message. 
Luckily for me, I have TWO awesome brothers! On a particularly down day, Logan decided to cheer me up by sharing his new-found love of the guitar with me. 
My brothers are continually teaching me what it means to love one another. They are both amazing and I know you're all crazy jealous after reading this. Hey ladies- Travis gets home in just under 8 months, so mark your calendars because he'll be available! He's the one on the left in the picture. So the message of this little post is to remember to share the love and be grateful for your wonderful families!
