Bonus post: Christmas call!

We couldn't figure out how to make a screen grab from a PC in time, so here's a screen grab from the video Elder Newton's dad made on his phone.

On Christmas Eve, we got to see Elder Newton's face for the first time since July 27, when he entered the Provo Missionary Training Center, and hear his voice for the first time since Sept. 27, when he called us from the airport on his way to Korea. He told us about life in Korea, spoke and sang in Korean for us, and answered our questions. He signed off with an impromptu discover poem.

Discover farewell
Sob and [unintelligible because a sibling blurted something out while Elder Newton was talking … shocking, I know]
Quick click, but lasting silence
Stop the problem.
[Korean words that Mom won't attempt to transcribe]
The proof is [unclear, possibly more Korean]
Farewell
