I am ready to make another chapter in the mission, now that I am serving in Quimey, and have a good district leader and a good companion and a good, strong ward. This week was a good one, while I have been getting to know the new ward. On Sunday we had 135 people attend, compared to 60 in my old ward. It is a young ward too, with many returned missionaries. I have heard a lot of good things about the ward, and it has the nickname of Zion. It is one of the strongest wards in the mission. On sunday we scheduled a lot of members to leave with us durring the week, which is one of the keys to the work, and we should be able to get more lessons durring the week and our people can get to know the members more. The only negative thing I can say about the week is that we wasted a large amount of time waiting for the bus to come, and traveling time, and money to pay for the bus. But thats because the sector is gigantic compared to my old sector, and most of the sectors of the mission. The lessons were really good though, and the members are strong. My companion is Elder Figueroa from Mexico, and so we might be cooking up some mexican food the the house. He in Santa Cruz, close to the beach. He just has a little more time in the mission than me, 2 weeks more. He is a great companion, and we are going to acomplish a lot together. The ward is cool because there is a little country, and people raising cows, horses, chickens, and growing vegetables. My other ward was pure city. P day was awesome today. We fasted as a mission to think of ideas on a vision for the mission, now that the mission turned one year old. Today we climbed Cerro Chena as a mission, and we had a little devotional at the top about the vision for the mission. It was a great experience, and we had a lot of fun. I love the mission, and the mission president is an amazing person and leader. Oh yeah, we are without power in the house too. It went out friday, and we haven´t had power scince, but we have it taken care of and the repare man should be comming to repare it. It is great to to hear from you, everything in summervil. Love, Elder Chandler
