Week #26 Happy Newbert!

Hey champs!

The ol' phone calls this week were awesome! Thanks for calling, family. I was REALLY hoping you would. Anywho, long story short, I don't have too much to update everyone on- Christmas was great and the Bennings even got us some way cool gifts. Though it couldn't even hold a CANDLE to Crimbo with the ol' family, it was still a splendid day.

Can't say a whole lot happened the rest of the week that's worth writing about. It seems California isn't quite as excited about missionaries as you'd expect during Christmas and New Year's. We did carol to some nursing homes though and that was fun. They were very appreciative. Some of them even threw out requests and applauded. Some of them slept.This is probably my last week with good ol' Elder Wheeler. It's been real. Odds are I'm definitely getting transferred this time, so the last day I will receive any mail at this address is a week from today (Monday). Any mail that comes after next Monday to the Mecca Court address will not be received by ol' Elder Balagna. So, if anyone is unsure about when a letter will get here, send it to the Mission Home address.

That would be greatly appreciated.Thanks again for all the Christmas stuff. The pictures utterly pleasant and the T-shirts are crazy awesome as well. The Great Apostasy is way way good and it has also really opened my eyes to the dangers of global warming. Thanks again for errbody who sent me letters/stuff during the season. It made life spectacular. Thanks to Lee for the Calvin and Hobbs comics!

Happy New Year!
Elder Al
