Wow I can’t believe it has come already. Christmas is next Friday, before I get the chance to write again. Well it was awesome to call the other day just to hear your voices, and you guys don’t know how excited I am to talk with you on Friday!! Sounds like things are just awesome at home. I really wish I could go listen to you guys playing in the Messiah. I love the music from the Messiah. I seriously have listened to it everyday since the first of December. I just love this time of year. After we put the lights on our house I think it made everybody else on the street excited to put up lights. I think just about every house on the street has lights on it now. I’m loving it. Two days ago we had an appointment to go to a reference of one of the teachers in the CCM that assists our ward. Well when we called him he was with 6 new missionaries from the CCM, and he wanted us to take them around to all of our investigators to sing them Christmas Carols, and they had gifts to give them. It was really a good time, and it was hard to believe that that was me over a year ago We took them to a few new investigators that haven’t come to church yet, but pretty much all of them said that they would be there on Sunday, and were really excited to have the visit. I think it was perfect for them. It’s kind of weird being so close to the CCM, and the temple, and the area offices for all of Northern South America. I never thought I would actually be working in this area, but it is really cool. I love the ward Mayorazgo. Practically all of our investigators that are progressing really well assist that ward, and everyone is just so animated and willing to help. It really reminds me of a ward back in the states. It is huge.
In the office everything is good. I’m getting ready for the big missionary payment at the end of this month. I just hope there aren’t any delays like last month for Thanksgiving. I’m planning it really well so there isn’t a problem, hopefully. I have already been in the office for over three changes, and the time really just flies. It gets pretty stressful at times, but I just think its just one of the things that prepares you for the rest of your life. It really is crazy how everything in the mission is really preparation for the rest of your life. Having to be with a companion all day every day, and learning to adjust to their personalities and everything. At times it takes some patience, but that just how it goes. I still remember some advice that uncle Ted gave me when I started the mission my first day in the MTC. He said, 
“My advice for the mission, is just love your companions.” At that time I didn’t realize how extremely important it is to love your companion. If you don’t the work really goes downhill. My companion Elder Rojas is really awesome, we do have our differences, but we are working through them, and things are turning out great. I just love missionary work, and I’m looking forward to doing it the rest of my life. Even though I’m going to be finishing the full time mission in 9 months, the work goes on. Thanks for everything, I love you all!!! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!Love,
Elder Lee
