A Bonus

It was a tradition of Elder Christensen's family to take a picture in the hallway on the way to open presents in the morning.

This one is from Elder Christensen's mother. They were companions in Catford.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your missionary visit. We sure did. We had to wait for Brett to call us because we couldn't get the number he gave us to work. There was a lot of stress for about 30 minutes. I don't know if you received this picture so I'm sending it on. Besides it gives me an excuse to write. We sure appreciate your good son and the opportunity Brett has had to work with him, especially over Christmas. We kept looking at Kade's picture thinking he looked so familiar. Garry's brother and family came to visit and we were showing them some of Brett's pictures when our sister-in-law asked how her son got in the picture. Then we realized why he has always seemed so familiar to us. Andy and Kade could be brothers they look so much alike. It is truly amazing! Both so handsome! Thanks for raising such a fine son. We hope to keep track of him. Brett said he was transferred to Plymouth. We found it on the map, he got to travel a bit. I hope it is not any colder there. I feel a little concerned about his Arizona blood in the biting cold of England. It has been pretty cold here, but we don't have to contend with the humidity. Have a grand 2009. I would love to hear from you. Janet.
