Chris will be finishing up his master's program in April. He is very busy with work, school, family, and bishopric. He was also promoted to a Major this year. We love and appreciate all that he does to provide for us!

Rachael is busy keeping up with all the kids activities. She also manages to teach some piano and guitar students, as well as teaching sunday school to the 16 year olds.

We love our savoir Jesus Christ and enjoy this season, being able to reflect on his humble beginnings in a lowly manager, to the magnificent miracles of healing the sick and raising the dead. And finally the greatest miracle of all, his atonement that makes it possible for us to repent and become clean again. What a joyous blessing! God bless you all and Merry Christmas!
