Merry Christmas!

It's finally Christmas week! It honestly doesn't feel much like Christmas here, because this is the first Christmas apart from family, and also snow is nonexistent here, so when I dream with a white Christmas, I wake up and see a rainbow of colors, but the only white is the clouds. We did have a Calamba 2nd ward Christmas party on Saturday, but it started a couple hours later, and we had been assigned to give a talk and spiritual thought, so a large part of Saturday was consumed by that party. But this coming week I'm excited about; tomorrow (Christmas Eve) we are having a district Christmas party which is going to be pretty fun. Also I got a new companion this last week, Elder Gregory from Indiana, and it's been really fun being his companion for the past few days, and I get to stay in Calamba for at least 1 more cycle. Elder Gregory is only a cycle (6 weeks) ahead of me and so we're kind of just stumbling along learning Tagalog and how to be a missionary together. Also Elder Gregory and one of the sisters in my district, Sister Keller, we're great friends in the MTC, so their excited to be able to see each other again. I hope you all "Have a holly, jolly Christmas And in case you didn't hear Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas This year!"
Sincerely, Elder Fugal
