Being able to skype with Ethan was a great Christmas gift! We thought we would have about 40 minuets to skype with him but Ethan said that there mission president's direction on the call was " be reasonable". We ere able to have a good groupe chat with him. It was so fun to talk and laugh with him and be reminded of Ethan's wit and fun energy! We each got a few minutes to talk with him individually. The time went fast and it was hard to say goodbye but the amount of time felt "reasonable"! We ended up skypeing for about 2 hours. I was great!!! the first 15 minuets we were trying to get the video feed to connect both ways - so it really was 1 hour and 45 minuets. It was so good to hear and see Elder Erickson. He loves doing the Lord's work and the area he is in.
He was able to go golfing with the Mission President yesterday on his p-day and showed off the blister he got on his thumb from his game. He skyped from the Branch Presidents home President Morales and his family really take care of the missionaries. Ethan said that he feels spoiled by all the blessings he has in this area!
We feel blessed by the pictures that President Morales texts to us. On Christmas Eve he texted this pictures to us...
I am so grateful for the the care the Morales family give Elder Erickson
We were making our traditional Christmas Eve pizza and texted this picture back.
It was a tender mercy from the Lord to feel a little more connected to Ethan on Christmas Eve!
