Matt called Saturday. He had been out on a mission for a week and half fixing a vehicle. He is very busy and gets only 1/2 day off at a time. As always, he is tired but it is good that he is busy. He is adjusting to having a room mate - who is a battle buddy. Matt says that a battle buddy is someone that you trust your life with.

He has received his Christmas packages that I sent and he also received a gift that he did not know who it was from. He loves the gift that Aaron and Denise sent. He has played the game as often as he can and thoroughly enjoyed it. He says - THANK YOU, Aaron and your family for the great gift.

Merry Christmas, MATT - We love you and are praying for your safety. We are proud of you and your service to our country.
