HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wow, it's been a while since I updated the news here. I hope everyone had great holidays. I was unfortunately sick over Thanksgiving, which made us change our Thanksgiving day plans. We were supposed to go to visit family about an hour north of us, but since I was sick, it was just our little family of 5 (who are currently home.) We were able to get together for Christmas and New Years with our other family members, so that was a good thing. The most exciting thing about Thanksgiving was a phone call I received from my son in Georgia. He called to let me know his wife is expecting - so I'm gonna be a grandpa in July! How cool is that?

On Christmas day, we were able to Skype with my oldest daughter who is currently in Puerto Montt, Chile in the Chile Osorno mission. We send emails back and forth on Mondays, but seeing her and talking to her, even though it was on a computer screen, was quite awesome! She is extremely excited to be serving a mission, and has been having positive experiences. Being in the southern hemisphere, she is now into summer - she said last week it got all the way up to 82! :-) Her mission is the most southern mission in Chile. In fact, in one of the cities where the elders work, they see penguins occasionally.

You may have noticed that there are more shows available now - I'm keeping the 8 most recent shows available instead of just 6. So, if you missed a show that you really wanted to hear (like the four Christmas shows), they will be available to download a little longer. After the last Christmas show, I took a little time off, and just released the first show of 2012 this past Monday. Be sure to give it a listen!

I've got Show 130 in the works and hope to have it out on Monday - there will be a couple of exciting new songs that we'll hear on this show. Be sure to come back and give it a listen. Have a great week!
