11:00 AM couldn't get here fast enough!
I tossed and turned all night hoping that the connection would be good, that seeing us wouldn't be to hard on him, and that we would get answers to our many questions. Then before I knew it...the time had arrived and we could see Elder Richardson (wearing one of his Christmas gifts a shirt we got him from the Mulley Crazy store in Kanab, Utah). What a wonderful invention Skype is - I am forever grateful to the inventor of this marvelous technology.
My boy was right before my eyes and we enjoyed a great conversation with him. His packages had arrived, many Christmas cards from friends, and he was spending a wonderful Christmas with several different families in the wards he serves in and also with the Shaw's (a senior missionary couple serving in Columbia Falls from Canada that lives and owns a home down the street from where Jake lives.)
He looked great, and sounded even better. We could actually hear the growth in his voice and feeling in what he said...but the Jake we all know and love is still there too!
We had Tanner Sharp, Jake's friend, come over during our conversation with him and they got to spend a little while visiting.
All in all - it was the BEST Christmas present I ever received!
