*** Mom Post ***
I would like to apologize for not having Spencer's blog updated for the last three weeks.  I can give the excuses as to why, but you probably don't really care, and I really don't want to tell you!  Just kidding! :)  The truth is, Spencer hasn't really shared much of his "exceptional efforts" because he says he doesn't really do anything "interesting".  Well to him it might not be interesting because he is more comfortable now in his "foreign" surroundings.  But to his family here at home, EVERYTHING he does is interesting and fun.

He simply just wants to know how everything is here in California and only shares a brief comment here and there about his service.  He did say last week, however, that his best Christmas gift is having two baptisms on Christmas day.  He is really looking forward to that.

So with that, I will post the pictures that he sent us and pass along his Christmas wishes:
"I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and remember the reason we have this great holiday is because of our Lord and Savior and his sacrifice for us.  I love and miss you all!"
