Christmas Break

   Ah, the student life where you actually get 3 weeks of Christmas Vacation. We have to take advantage of it while it lasts. We spent most of the break going back and forth from Murray to Midway. We loved being with family. There's always just a couple of days where we actually get everyone in the family home at the same time. For my side of the fam, it didn't happen this year because of our 2 missionaries. It was so fun to chat with both of them on Christmas day. My little brother sounds like a South African and has no idea he does, and my little sister had only been in New Zealand for a week-so no accent yet.
    Other BIG NEWS, my dad just got called to be a Mission President!! That was a huge surprise for all of us and we are thrilled. Both of my parents will be amazing with the missionaries. They will be going somewhere English speaking, but won't get their assignment for a month or two. We can't wait to see where they are headed. So we won't have another "normal" Christmas with them for a while. By next Christmas 4 of the 8 Clarks will be missionaries. Pretty cool, but we definitely miss all of them.

   Here are a billion photos from our trip:
