6 Weeks in San Juan . . . already!

Mom-- this week was so awesome! We've found several new families that we are going to teach and one that we found on wednesday and taught, and they came to church and we have a baptismal service for 4 of them feburary 14th! The Vera family is avoiding us so we might have to drop them. We were going to have their baptism yesterday but we couldn't cuz they're not progressing. We also had a super serious conversation with a strong man that's in no church but knows the bible very well. His wife and sister were members but they said they left the church cuz they read the bible...? So we taught them and we talked A LOT about polygamy, baptisms for the dead, infant baptism, and other things but mainly those. He's super respectful and we were able to answer all thanks to the holy ghost cuz they were pretty hard to answer. He'll be baptized for sure and be one of those super strong members again and bring back his family too were hoping!

Ya I don't know exactly what I felt that night but I had never in my life felt something like that before. My comp actually had been taunting and saying dumb things about the adversary and we were talking about the sons of perdition and saying how many there could be if they all got up on missionaries and the number was pretty big haha. But it gave me a testimony that because there's an adversary(devil) then there is a God. Because with one thing there's always something contradictory I've learned. Like if we know happiness then we know misery. If we know pain it's because we've felt good health and we know what it's like!

Thanks for sharing that experience you guys had in the temple and in the spanish session haha! That must have been pretty cool! Ya it was kinda hard realizing what could've happened. I can't imagine what dad felt when that happened to him on his mission when Grandpa Chamberlain died--- and I admire him so much for FINISHING too...wow.

We worked hard this week and had good success from the Lord. We were super tired this week and we slept for a little bit a couple days cuz now we stay out till 10:30 at night cuz there are a lot of people out at night more than the day. We were at someone's house till 12 two days this week and I didn't get into bed till about 1:30-2 with traveling/walking back and showering etc. Haha but it was a really good week!

Yes I am reading 2 pages a day of Jesus the Christ and sometimes more! I think I'm on page 26 or something right now! I read a lot of other things like those other books that HELP SO MUCH with those super hard questions thank you soooo much!! I can win any bible battle I have now ahaha!

I love you tons ma! I'm doing good because my family and I are receiving blessings that are too much!( like my family not being killed in a car wreck) That's pretty worth anything that I go through here I'd say!

Our transfer ends this week and I can't believe I've been in this area for 6 weeks already! That was fast! Love you all!!

Love your son and yes you said that right when you said "Te amo mi ijo misionero!" haha

Tu hijo,

Elder Kohler Chamberlain


Dad - 
Wow what a story. That's crazy that all of that happened just soo fast! I worked extra hard this week and we had a family come to church this week! We're going to work with her and her family! She's just scared of being rejected by her hardcore evangelical parents and catholic husband so we're going to work hard and I know God is preparing their hearts to hear the gospel!

Let this event from you almost dying put things more enforced into perspective than they already were dad.:)

Hey tell me about the work? Are you doing the car giveaway? Tell me what you're thoughts and plans are for this quarter? In my free time I just keep getting what I feel and think to be would be very good business ideas. I feel very confident and happy about them. Which by the way I have something to tell to Spencer about his flip books!

I love you sooo much dad I hope all is well!! Thanks for being who you are in my life.:)

Love your son,

Elder Kohler Chamberlain
