My companion is on the left Elder Viloia (He is from Columbia and was in the Columbian Military!) then there is Elder Tirado from Sinaloa, Mexico and then Elder Diaz from Buenos Aires. |

(fun snippet from Kohler's letter to Kelsey):
Kelsey prayer is very real. It's literally as if you were standing in front of dad talking to him face to face. We just don't realize it. But that is the actual and literal meaning. It's no different than that and that has changed my perspective on prayer a lot. It's not necessarily some far sent message because He is listening to us the second we speak it. I have a very strong testimony of that and prayer itself.Kels-- I'm soo glad you're having fun and doing good spiritually! Much love little sis! You mean the world to me!
Love ya!Elder Kohler Chamberlain
(Excerpts from Kohler's letter to his Dad and more PICS BELOW):
Hey Dad!!
WOW you and Spencer had fun. I can tell just by the photos. Man I miss Yosemite. We definitely should go when I come back. Make it a couple weeks or so after I come home so I can see everybody and hang out with them first.:) It looks soo pretty there! How long was the drive like 8 hours or soo? I am sooo happy to have all those beautiful sights in my head and all the memories and late night talks with you while hiking. Maybe Yosemite with Spencer when I come back for the sake of the memories or something:)
Hey ya my companion was in the Colombian military! I kinda forgot to tell you that ha! His stories are pretty crazy but he doesn't tell me everything.
We're teaching a lot of less actives and several progressing investigators. My Spanish is coming along except when I don't understand when to play in sacrament meeting ha ha! Ask Mom about it. I will probably make another mistake this next Sunday haha but I don't care:)
Much love dad! Thank you for all you do! The biz sounds good too and that's the attitude! When you have an attitude of care you'll receive real blessings and your "why power" is increased because you genuinely want people to have a better product/service.
Much love Dad! Yo se que este evangelio es verdad y que recibiremos mas bendiciones si nosotros seguimos Al Senor. Tenemos mucha mas vida en vivir si? Estoy animado para el futuro! Les quiero a ustedes!
Su Hijo mayor,

That's sooo awesome about your calling! And Hailey oh my gosh! She has braces?! Ps I'm not really caring about grammar errors right now cuz i basically have no time cuz we're leaving early today to go to the mountains with the hermanas.
I'm soo glad you are doing well in your calling! I pray everyday for you and you doing well in that.
Spencer and dad looked like they had a lot of fun! Can't wait for another fun hike with dad and probs Spencer too!
Thank you sooo much for the pictures too! That is sooo awesome! Good memories!
This week was good! We're celebrating Elder Tirados 19th bday today and we started the day off by pouring cream powder, chocalate syrup and eggs all over him right after he got out of bed ahaha
This week has been soo awesome! Mom I'm learning soo much about faith! Faith is truly power and if it is righteous and expedient we can do and have anything!
My companion and I were studying Mark. Mark 5:36 and Mark 9:23 are super cool and go well with each other! I have the worlds best coolest and hardworking comp. No he's not a diehard missionary but that's god cuz you don't want to kill yourself or go insane he said.
Carrina and Carry came to church with us yesterday and there were a lot of people!
I'm also playing in sacrament officially but I didn't redeem myself from last sunday. It wasn't nearly as bad but I thought the obispo/bishop said that we'll sing the last hymn but we really had one more speaker and I played a couple notes and looked at the congregation of about 70 people and was like.....ohhh no entiendo...they all laughed a little but I was fine. I just laughed too and smiled haha!!
The work is good too. We're teaching a lot of less active people right now but nothing too big this week. I did an exchange with the ZL to see my training and he said I would be a very good missionary. Oh when I was with him we were playing soccer with some investigators and I totally kicked the ball right at this kid's face....oh my freakin gosh...I felt SO bad! He was fine though...and I had bad luck too I guess cuz I ran into a metal clothes wire in the air. (I couldn't see cuz it was pretty dark) Hurt pretty bad LOL.
I miss and love you soo much mom! You are the best and I love you and pray for you soo much! I know you all are receiving blessings and that many more will come!!
Much love ma!
Su hijo mayor,
Elder Kohler Chamberlain
