Hey everyone,

Things are going very well here, again! Christmas time in Philly is different. Everyone here claims to be "Muslim", so there aren't a lot of Christmas lights up either. But, it's pretty cool to see the snow and everything! We got a few inches this past week, the temperature dropped to about 17 degrees, and today it's back up to 55.

We had some pretty interesting things happen here lately. My companion goes home to Utah next Tuesday, so I'll be getting a new comp pretty soon. We'll see how that goes. I tried to cash Grandma and Grandpa's check today, but they don't even do personal checks. I' not quite sure what to do with it.

Everything is going great here in Philly! I love the mission field, and I'm learning so much out here every day! I love you guys! Stay strong! I know it's not easy, but it'll all work out!

Thanks again!
Elder Wallentine
