With only Eric at home, and Grandma Schenk in the hospital, we had a very different celebration this year. So after lots of time in the kitchen making a turkey dinner and finishing up the Christmas baking, we delivered cookies to some neighbors. We also got permission from Devin to open the package he sent us. Notice the plethora of stamps covering the entire right side of the package!
Inside we found a variety of mixes and biscuit type treats that Devin wanted us to try.
I love how everything is written in English.
Eric is stirring up some of the Energen drink packet. Yum, it tastes like tapioca pudding!
There were wrapped gifts as well.
And now for the highlight....
Devin!!!! Elder Schenk!
We not only got to have our "phone call" we actually got to skype with him.
Hurray! We got to see our missionary! He looks great!
At first it was a bummer for him because we could see him, but the connection was bad, and he couldn't see us. But after about 10 minutes or so, the picture came through for him, so he cheered up considerably!
We had 40 minutes to talk with him, so we had our questions listed out, and we got them all answered! He even spoke in Visayan for us. He's doing so well, it was great to see him looking and sounding good.

Those snacks look tastier than what it sounded like on the phone. I want to try one! Also, Devin looks like someone from the call center of a mobility add on TV, the perfect model of a friendly representative. Skype is pretty great.
