Matt's email 12/24/2011

Mom! I was glad to get a little update from you today knowing that tomorrow we will be talking but I am glad to hear that all is going well.

I have to tell you that today I went out and bought myself a sweet Christmas present. A new pair of running shoes! Ha ha it's great huh! I bought them on my personal card, but I just had to let you get excited for me! They are some nike lunarglider 3's. Let's just say they were a lot cheaper than buying a trip to the moon and back! This week I have had a great case of plantar fasciitis and I have realized that it is because I have been running with the worst pair of shoes that I have ever owned. They are torn and broken and my foot hits the concrete on every step, but I hope these new ones help!

I will save the great stories of the week for tomorrow! I can't wait to talk to you. Last night we were with the Bishop... An amazing man. Tonight we are going carolling and then to President's house and tomorrow in the daytime we will be with President again but then we will be coming back to the offices to do some skypage!! I am super excited. At first I wanted to just call, but President has convinced me to skype so here we go.

I love the Christmas season. It is filled with so much joy. It is sad being in a culture where the idea of the birth of our Lord and Savior has been replaced with bottles of fernet, cheap wine and goat meat, but I'm so greatful for our tradiciones and for all that I carry in my heart. I love you mom. See you tomorrow!!
