Christmas For a Missionary Mom


Christmas was wonderful. David got me too many presents, as usual. We got to go and visit Amy and their family, and see their Christmas gifts. The kids were excited and happy with what they got. But the best thing for us on this Christmas Day was THE PHONE CALL. Every missionary mom waits on pins and needles for that phone to ring. It came about 12:00, just when he said it would. We talked and talked, we didn't have any problem trying to figure out what to say to each other. Each sister was conferenced in, and got to talk for a while. I loved hearing what they had to say to each other. Wendy kept saying things so that the conversation couldn't be cut off, quite yet. DJ sounded great, he has a different lilt in his voice, just like a Brit. I loved hearing that. He sounds happy, engaged in missionary work, and ready to work a little harder. The picture is at his Christmas conference, DJ is on the top, 2nd from the right. I'm so thankful to have a missionary!

I LOVED talking to him. I really was basking in his voice. He sounds so great and so full of the spirit. i can't wait to see him in real life! I know it's a while away, but it will rule!

That is a pretty cute missionary! Aren't those Christmas and Mother's Day phone calls the best?
