Christmas 2009

The boys on Christmas Eve, sporting their new Christmas PJ's, and New Chile hats. I returned from Chile the night before Christmas Eve this year. Not good timing!

Each of the boys are sporting some of their favorite Christmas gifts on Christmas Morning.












Chile December 2009


Pictures from the Mountains East of Santiago, Chile





This mountain at the end of the lake is the Chile/Argentina Border







60 km of Rough Narrow Roads up to and around the lake made me wish I had my dirt bike instead of my rental truck!










Some fields with the mountains in the background
















The Temple in Santiago. Yes I went through a session. No I don't speak much Spanish....I did OK until they asked me to the prayer circle, then I mumbled quietly through the words (most of which I didn't understand), and made it through the veil in English, Thanks to an English speaking Temple Missionary from Canada!
The temple grounds are right in the middle of the City. On the block they have the temple, the mission home, the MTC for Southern South America, living quarters, and a distribution center. Pretty neat!
