We got our Christmas present from Weston a couple of weeks ago. I guess he insisted on staying in the loop of Christmas present giving within the family and we were the lucky ones that he had this year! Sorry everyone else. Jodi and Felipe you are next year, but sorry for the rest of you. ;) In the box were a bunch of tapestries that have Japanese symbols on them and different meanings for business and family. They are pretty cool. Also included in the package was some Japanese candy. I wish I would have kept the boxes so I could remember the names dang it. But we all loved them. The kids especially like the "Poki" cookies I think they were called. We got a package of chopstix and Chet got a couple of ties. The boys also got a little action figure each that they got to put together. Very cool package from a missionary. Like Mardie, I can't get my scanner to work so I will just type out what his little letter included in the package said.
Tresa, Chet and The Boys,
Merry Christmas! This stuff is straight out of Japan. The tapestries even hung in the emporers shrines. Just kidding. It was kinda hard to find stuff but thought you might like the chopsticks. The toys are big over here. And I hope you like the candy. But all in all thats not the purpose of Christmas, is it. The purpose of Christmas is Christ. Without Christ there is no Christmas. It would just be called Mas and that sounds lame. The greatest gift of Christmas is that the Lord Gave us His life. Because of that gift we can experience eternal happiness. True hapyness that our Father in Heaven Experiences. There is no greater gift than that. So lets not forget it. The best Christmas was the first one. I love you all and am tankful for all you do. Give the boys a hug for me.
