Christmas is almost here and we get a call from our missionary.
We are all very excited! We enjoy writing to him and telling him about all the missionary work we are doing and we have our missionaries over every chance we get.
I always send them home with homemade bread. The last two times it was baking when they got to our house. They are kids and they get so excited about things that remind them of home.
I hope someone is doing the same for Jacob.
Does anyone have ideas on how the get the most from his call? We got a call on his way out to Az. And it was a little crazy. Well, we were all there. =$ We will all be there again. He couldn’t tell who was talking and then about the time he figured it out someone else was talking….
We don’t get another call till May so we really want to enjoy it.

I guess it all depends on how much time he is given to talk on the phone. I like the speaker-phone thing, then everyone can hear him talk although I agree that it is a bit of a pain when someone in the crowd wants to say something. I would suggest speaker-phone time then give everyone 5 minutes to talk alone....again depends on how much time he is allowed.
ps. we have a home video of when Uncle Scott was leaving on his mission. His boys look alot like him.

I would try doing it youngest to oldest...and give the kids a time limit...then you and scott can listen on another phone to be sure you don't miss anything. ;) Then you get the rest of the time to yourself.

I can't wait to talk to marshall on christmas. Those boys are really wonderful.
