Our holiday season started a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.  The best present we got this year was the return of our missionary, Jessica. She served honorably in the Florianopolis Brazil mission.  It was so great to see her. I had to pinch her to make sure she was real.  She had a hard time speaking English at first, but it all started to come together for her.  We loved having her for the month of November.  She is now back in school at BYU.  We miss her, but are so happy she is home.
