Hey mom, it was good to see you too on Christmas. That was kind of a weird day.. It was probably the most I've felt homesick so far in the mission, but it wasn't too bad. I'm doing fine. I think there was just a lot going on in that day that reminded me of home so it felt a little weird not being with you guys. But I'm glad I had the chance to talk with you a little bit. Anyways I had a really good Christmas week. It was pretty fun singing the Christmas songs, spending time with families, and also giving/receiving gifts. It was a really good Christmas and I'm glad I was able to experience one this early in my mission. Anyways the most crazy this week is probably transfers for sure. Man it's weird that I've already been out for 6 weeks in the field.. It felt like nothing compared to the CCM. But for this transfer three elders are leaving. One elder (Elder Rios) is heading home and two other elders were assigned to a different area. But Elder Galleguillos and I have a little challenge ahead of us because we are taking on the area of that those elders used to be in. In other words everything pretty much doubled. But I'm excited and am looking at it as an opportunity to improve even more. But I think that's mostly it.. I'm not exactly sure what to write since I talked to you earlier... But I'm doing good and the Spanish is coming along so it's all good. I love you mom and I hope you have an awesome New Years!
