gAvE mE tHe ChiLLs...we all have had moments when we hope that the impression or example we have left with someone will be good.  i have the awesome opportunity to work with children every day and not only teach them but to also let them know how much i care about them and the great potential that they have.  the other day i had to reprimand one of the girls i teach in my fifth grade group about her effort in class.  after talking to her i over heard a boy who i have taught since he was in kindergarten lean over and tell the girl...mrs. harding wants us to do and be our best she really loves us.  i hope they always remember this.  tate has three uncles who have served missions in chile. i am sure they all left their missions hoping that they had positive impact on those people. this is an experience that tate had this week in chile...

so this week started off really freaking awesome...we went to the church to have a little party with my district and there were some people there cleaning.  we got talking a little and he asked where i was from...i told him idaho and he said wow they make them big in idaho...i once knew an elder from idaho who loved football and had a pretty big stature...i instantly got chills and asked him what his name was and he said elder KUNZ. I didn't know what to say....i said troy kunz? and he said yep that is the one...but he said he was in the mission more south (which used to be santiago south) and so i told him that is my uncle and he was super excited...

                   i am glad you guys are doing well and having fun with the girls...i miss them...i miss the family a lot right now cuz of christmas and all that stuff... pretty hard but i am doing well...  

     

 i just hope we all see that as members of this church we are to do as Elder Holland said in conference...feed the lords lost sheep...do everything you can to help and serve those around you! i love this work and am sad every single week because it goes by so freaking fast....i have already been here for over 2 months and i cannot believe it...i miss you guys a ton but i know i am doing what is right...i am excited to skype you this christmas and cannot wait haha

another good thing is i am getting pretty freaking good at ping pong...every single chilean is so dope at it and so i get pretty good playing them haha.... also this coming friday our mission rented out a stadium in santiago for a mission activity for christmas... ahah should be pretty fun... anyways..

laters! love you guys and be good! help the missionaries...

love elder harding!
