Back to Saigon I go!

Hi everyone!  Justin is back in Saigon now and very excited to be there.  His emails have been VERY short to his mother, which I guess means that he is busy serving the people, so I will let it slide! He told me that last week, he and his companion were out on the streets and one of his relatives came up and said "Hi!  What's up?"  It really took him by surprise to just run into a family member, and he also thought it was really cool!

We were able to Skype with Justin on Christmas Eve (which was Christmas Day for him...he is 14 hours ahead of us).  He looks and sounds FANTASTIC and his Vietnamese is fluent! His buddy Elder Craghead poked his head into the Skype call to say hi as well.  The cool thing about Craghead is he lives here in Salt Lake City, too, in my sister's neighborhood!  The two of them went out on their missions at the same time and will be coming home at the same time, too. It will be nice for them to have each other when they come home.

Well...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!  Hopefully Justin will find just a smidgen of time to send an email that is more than just "Hi Mom, everything is good!"
