A missionary's Christmas call home


The best part of a missionary's Christmas is being able to call home and talk to family

Elder Roberts' testimony in Spanish.  He has been on his mission just 2 days shy of 1 year. 
(who's counting? This Momma!)






The goodbyes are always so hard. It was so wonderful to talk to him and see him smiling.
He is so happy! So happy, that he doesn't mind not having a hot shower.  He hasn't had hot water for the past nine months! He told us that where he is living now at least has a shower head and that he is grateful that he doesn't have to use a bowl and get water from the pila.  

It was wonderful to hear his stories, some funny, some scary.  We take comfort and know that he is in the Lord's hands. He is serving the Lord, we pray that he will be watched over and protected.

We love him and miss him so much.  We are very proud of him and look forward to next Christmas when he will be back with us all.

Merry Christmas! love all us Roberts'
We can't wait for next Christmas when both Christian and Alyssa will be home and our traditional Christmas morning stair picture won't feel so empty.
