A highlight of the year for Mormon families is their twice a year phone call from their missionary--one call on Christmas and one on Mother's Day. It was late afternoon on Christmas Day in Moldova, but 8 a.m. in Salt Lake City, when the Eberts gathered around their computer to Skype with Emilie.
At 9 a.m., the Flindts gathered in three locations to Skype with Grant, who is in Prague, Czech Republic. Kyle was in Seattle, the rest of Grant's family was at our house, and Grant's Flindt relatives were at Herb and JoDee's house down the road. Kyle's technology expertise looped us all together. Unfortunately, I was dashing about fixing Christmas breakfast during Grant's call and so got only this one photo.
One of the nightmares of the missionary call is that there will be a bad connection. Emilie was allotted only 45 minutes to talk with her family, and no one wanted to squander a second of it.
Mia was dressed in her new Christmas pajamas.
Ezra gave me a tour of his Christmas gifts, including some very elaborate Lego sets.
The lucky grandmas and grandpas get to listen in on the missionary calls. Steve's mother, Marilyn Ebert, joined Dave and me at Camille's house to talk with Emilie.
