Sketchbook: Every week is Christmas

There's a lot of wisdom in the recent announcement that missionaries will be able to contact home on Preparation Days. And I'm not just saying that as a parent of a missionary! It will really help some of the missionaries make the transition from being at home to being in the mission field. It will also help families feel more a part of the work that the missionaries are doing.

I'm just glad that our missionary is in a close time zone rather than stationed on the other side of the planet. I love him and all, but do I love him enough for a weekly phone call at three o'clock in the morning?
