Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! SHE DONE GOT MARRIED!!!!  Man, I'm choking back tears of joy when I look at the pictures of Kelsie.  The strange thing is, I don't feel sad or angry or anything really towards not being able to be there.  Elder Shibuta knows how I feel, too.  His older Sister got married a few weeks ago too and he hardly felt any kind of emotion towards it either.  It's so awesome though, I love Weddingzzz!
Here is the lowdown on Christmas calls.  Elder Shibuta is calling his family at 11 am our time for like probably 2 hours-ish to be honest.  Then after that it's my turn at like 1.  I think that is about 9 at night Christmas eve your time.  We can actually call too as well as skype if you would like, but you would be paying for it, haha.  But it isn't too expensive though on your end if you call me, not me call you. I'll be free to talk between 11-1 Christmas my time. Just a heads up, the Internet here is way sketchy so skyping might be annoying cause it will drop a lot, but it's better than nothing. 
I got your package and haven't opened up the presents yet from sheer use of awesome will-power!
We are pretty set on having Fernando's baptism this Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then Seiji's on the next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then Ninoska's on the next Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!! President Budge has gotten way excited about it.  I had an interview with him today and he gave a lot of great advice on how to hasten the work.  Elder Bednar spoke recently at the MTC and shared how the reason the MTC training times are lowering and more missionaries are being allowed to serve is cause the Lord is hastening his work.  Like in Jacob chapter 5, the allegory of the olive tree, it talks about how in the last days, the Lord will work with his servants in the vineyard and he will hasten his work.  I know that to be true.  Today was also Temple day and we went to the Pokemon center in Tokyo and had a great time. 
Everything is going great here and I cant wait to see you on Tuesday (Monday) next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you!
Elder Crandall
