Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
This is what I designed this year for my family Christmas card, with a little booklet layout including family photos and a summary of what we've all been doing this year. These cards were a lot of fun to make with the kids helping me. Lindsey stamped and cut all the cranberry and black parts. Christopher cut all the "merry" pieces of cardstock and helped stuff envelopes. Because I started so late, I didn't plan ahead with a mailing list, and I mainly sent cards to those who sent us cards, and simply used their return addresses to know where to send each one.
