This weeks letter is really short because we had a 2 hour phone call over Skype on Christmas. Michael is doing great, and we are so proud of him!!

Hey again.

Yeah it was good. too bad we aren't quiet or anything. haha. That's way cool that you guys were able to have people over and stuff. Last night we ate with a family where 3 of their 4 oldest are married and I was just like yes! this is how legit it is going to be when we are all old and married. it's going to be a Party! yeah buddy haha.

How does that not surprise me? Jerimiah not talk that much in front of people. I think I'm going to do less than ten when I get home haha! Thats cool though that Blake has got his call. it's good to know though that I'm not missing much because everyone is going on their missions and doing the good stuff too. haha is ethan in where ever he is already?

Ammon can get his permit now... are you going to let him? haha man that is weird, he will be driving for almost a year when I get home. hopefully he doesn't wreck too bad. haha I miss in n out. maybe a double double animal style? I think so? haha. Congrats to matthew. not much really more to say. it was a super quiet week. so well see what this one hold for us yeah?

Much love!

Michael
