Merry Christmas

Mike called home around 9:30 AM Christmas morning. First, he talked to his friend Kyle to find out he was going to the Rome Italy mission. We all had a good amount of time to talk to him. He sounded great. He had an appointment at 2:00 he was going to, but the phone call was not rushed at all. He is staying in Rock Hill, SC for at least another 6 weeks, so he will be there for 6 months anyway. He said he knows the Rock Hill area better than he ever knew SLC. He's still with Elder Herbert. He also sent home a package that had some pictures in it, so expect to see those on here soon.
His new niece Aynslee Alyssa Alexander was born the next day on the 26th. She was 9 lbs. 11 oz. and cute as can be. He'll have a good time meeting her and getting re-acquainted with his other niece and nephew when he gets home. Who knows, there may even be more by then.
