Missionaries are allowed to call home twice a year, on Mother's Day and on Christmas Day. Final arrangments were made yesterday through an email from Phillip. The time was set for 6:45 PM EDT on Mother's Day. Just like last Christmas day, we gathered around the kitchen table. I neglected to take pictures this time. We had the speaker phone in the middle of the table. The hour seemed to zip by. It was really nice to hear Phillip's voice and to sense his excitement. He has some homesickness, but he is dealing with it. I recorded the entire call using a different phone connected to a computer. That recording is also available here. |
