Thoughtful Missionary

Scott surprised us and sent a box "for the girls in the family". It was these day skirts that the Laotian/Mien people wear. One of the ladies helped him get the skirts and then she wouldn't let him pay her. You wrap it around yourself and tuck it in. We're going to wear them to the airport in 6 months. Six Months! Jess didn't get a skirt; she got the purse she's holding from the same lady who got it in Thailand.

Also in the box was a package of four pink & white socks "for Mom, because I know how cold she gets and how much she likes socks". It was a highlight of Christmas.

What a thoughtful missionary you have! The skirts are so fun and he will LOVE the fact that you will be wearing them at the airport when he arrives home from his mission.

I hope you had a great phone call on Christmas day from your missionary son!
