I have been so worried about missing Taylor's (Elder Pogue's) Christ-mas phone call. For those of you who don't know him, Taylor is our 20- year- old son who is serving a mission for our church for two years in France. They can only phone home twice a year, on Mother's Day and on Christmas. We'll have just arrived in Saudi Arabia on Christmas and not even sure what our phone situation will be. Anyway, he got special permission to call early! So this morning around 10:30 we got the call. It was wonderful to hear his voice. We got to talk for about an hour and he sounded fantastic. He was calling from an office at the church and it was fun to listen to him speak French to people who passed by. I am so amazed! We can't believe almost a year has passed since he left. He is so excited that we are going to get to experience another part of the world like he is. We are so proud of Taylor and the good work he is doing. The work in Cannes is slow but steady. He is upbeat and happy. That always does a Mom's heart good! So grateful...

You're gonna love it overseas some days and hate it others. But the fact that it's not forever will make it seem like a very long vacation.
How wonderful that you got to have the phone call early!! And even neater that you got to hear him speaking french!! It's so neat how much missionaries grow while on their missions.
And I just did some back reading and can't believe you are moving. The Jorgensons almost moved to Saudi. I hear it's really nice!! How exciting.
Yeah, we are really excited yet very sad at the same time. Brett J.'s parents live their now! So we'll at least know somebody!
Lee is the husband. We were stationed together in CA. My husband is in the Army with Lee. I honestly don't know much about them but I did send them a link to your blog so she will let me know :) thanks for the comment :)
