I miss thanksgiving. I miss being with all the family, cousins, and grandparents, eating mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, green bean casserole, fresh roles, ham, stuffing, fruit salad, cranberry sause, ECT. Can you send me some leftovers too. I would definately say it is one of my favorite holidays. I almost forgot about it here, because they don´t celebrate it, or even mention it. And Christmas is just around the corner :) !!!!!! And my Birthday is comming up!!! Tomorrow I will have 1 year in Chile, I am so old. We are here in Quimey, in a constant battle against the adversary, but we will not be defeated. Investigators not fulfilling commitments, arriving late from work super tired, having some doubts, and insurities. I don´t know why it is so hard to believe in latter day prophets. Kids running around durring the lessons and things happening sunday which prevent them from going to church. This week makes two weeks in a row that they haven´t been to church. We will get them there this week. We are fighting just as hard as the adversary is, and with a little bit of pacience, everything will work out. We also have a lot of families progressing, and I am happy for them. Yesterday we got new bikes!!!!!!! now we don´t have to share and we can coordinate our appointments better. We thought we would get them after Christmas, but to our suprise when we arrived at district meeting yesterday the office to pass us two black bikes that they were using instead of waiting for the new purchase to come in. As I was pedaling yesterday one pedal came loose, and I had to pedal with one leg until one of our investigators could put it back on for us. The mission is pushing a new video on mormon.org called He is the Gift. You should watch it, then share it by facebook, twitter, instagram, wassup, and/or youtube. I love the holiday season. The Christmas Lights, Trees, Presents, and most importantly remembering the birth and life of Jesus Christ as a family. The 13th we will have a mission activity, and the 11-13 there is a Christmas Concert outside of the temple we can go to if we go with a less active member, or investigator. And the 24th or 25 we get to skype. I will tell you the details in the comming weeks. I love you all, and happy birthday Kate. It is wierd to hear you are 13 now. I love you, and it is good to hear that you had a good time. It is good to hear you had a lot of rain, it rained a lot here saturday. It is wierd to see chritmas trees and lights and candy close to swimming pools in the store. It will be a scorching hot Christmas. Tell everybody I say Hi. Justin Chandler.
