Yippee!  We were able to talk to Blake on Christmas.  We actually were able to Skype him as well.  It was so much fun.  He is sounding great.  There were some tender moments where we all got teary. That's what happens after you talk a while and get a chance to dwell on the hard stuff.  However, we know that Blake is strong and can endure anything that is thrown at him.  Here are some pictures that we were able to get from that day.  Also, an audio clip of him bearing his testimony.

Shannon caught Blake on the iPhone for a second while we were Skyping.

Here is some audio from Blake's phone call.  The first part is his testimony in Tongan.
