Photo's From Naze
HARRO - !
Well I'm still here in Naze. Time is going by and I'm counting down. This Mission has been the hardest thing I have done in my life, but also at the same time the most simple too???? Any how here are some pics from my transfer with Elder Fujiwara and some of Elder McFarland. Nothing much is changing here. I gave the picture that I painted to my friend. I sent a pic of her and my Pic, not so great I think but... I have started drawing Japanese style pics. I think they are great fun... I fancy Japan. But yeah, keep up the 日本語 study it will come..... slowly..... But keep it up. Don't worry about Kanji study, it will do you no good at the level you are at now. Find return Missionaries from Japan, they will help, and don't feel dumb to SPEAK that how you learn!
Love Cole.
I made this for a very special friend.


We found this little guy stranded as the tide went out and sent him back out to sea.This is my Church building in Naze.A very special family.

Elder Fujiwara and Me.I love the ocean!
We sent a photograph to Elder Chandler pointing to him in the sand from Southern California, so he sent one back to us!
We Love you Elder Cole Chandler!

well things are going ok here, i heard about Dustin's dad last week that he wasn't doing well. but i thought he would get better. that is so horrible he died. i read blades email today and it made me sick to my stomach. but i guess there is nothing i can do but still. i don't understand why bad things happen to good people. its ridiculous.


(a good friend to all of our Sons, we will miss you Kevin)


but also yesterday morning i was bitten on the hand by a really weird spider. i thought it would be fine but it started to swell up and turn red. it was really weird, my heart started to hurt and i felt dizzy so i went to the hospital they dumped this weird stuff all over my hand that made my hand burn. but it didn't fix it. i went back this morning but the don't know what it is. I'm drinking medicine and stuff to try and fix it but i have to go back to the hospital on Friday to see if its getting better. right now i am also getting pretty tired of the whole mission life, it is way hard, but whatever i signed up for this so i guess i will just count down the days and do my best. transfer day is on the 25Th of this month and i cannot wait to leave this comp. i have become accustomed to his antics. all of his annoying comments and such. but i have learned a lot of patience that is a good thing.

i took another 40 dollars out of my account today to pay for my medicine but the mission home will reimburse it so we will just have to wait. sorry about my spending. i just wont use my card anymore. i really need to try and spend my money better. i liked Elder Hales`s talk about addiction and money spending. so for this next year i will really try to learn the art of not spending money. it will prob be a good one to learn. well if your on write me back.

sadly i never got a new jacket i had to spend the money on other mission stuff. but my reimbursement will be coming soon and then i will go look. but its just like elder hales wife said.... i would wear it where? or something like that. i watched in Japanese so its prob. a little different.

but yeah, only time will tell with the spider bite. i see 3 options.

1 i will become spider man. move to Tokyo and save peoples lives
2. i will die.
3. the swelling will go down and nothing interesting will come of it.

I'm guessing 3 is most likely but I'm rooting for 1. as for now,... still no change. i thank your for the candies. i only ate about half of them.

well i suppose we do have a new investigator he is good. Mr. ono. he is cool the other day he looked me in the face and said. "I truly feel that God has led me to this Church and to you." haha it was like WOW, it was a good thing. also Mr komoto will most likely be baptized on the 25th we will just see. his baptismal interview is on the 19 so we will see then. it would be good if he was. well i have 10 min left so write me back quickly

I'm not upset about the chocolate bunny. haha i am just letting you know I'm thankful you thought of me but also letting you know of my position. i have had 2 elders become vegetarian, maybe because of me maybe not but if you really search the scriptures you will see that eating meat is not the way. but it is your decision. anyways. yeah i will watch the bite. like i said i already went to the HOSPITAL. so i have been seeking help. its just a time thing now. so we will see.

thank you for you love and support. this hell will pass. hopefully next transfer changes thing up for the best.

i love you all
love Cole
