I know 7 months-- it's crazy! Really it's my 5th transfer so it's 7 and a half because there each 6 weeks long yaa!
Everything is super good up here it's just always soo hot. I literally take a shower then shower in my garments and go to bed like that with nothing cuz it's so hot. Which by the way, that temperature you saw is in Mendoza where it's nicer. I'm in the hottest zone in the whole mission during the hottest time of the year called San Juan. It's pretty poor with just a bunch of dirt streets and at nights there's always a million people out just toping on their mate (pronounced mah-tay) tea...They say they are busy when we try to talk to them so it's super annoying but it's whatever.
I'm actually in Mendoza right now and I spent the night with all the elders and the APs in the office pench (apartment). It's super nice and they have AIR CONDITIONING!! Wow that was the first time since the mtc I felt AC. Ya that was super nice to have! (didn't realize that LOL) But my comp is having an interview with President for something he feels like he needs to clear up. Sooo to be honest I'm a little nervous for him and don't know what to expect. He's actually talking with him right now and I'm in the secretarios office writing:)
Hey, in that picture you sent, Spencer standing next to dad is sooooo huge!! Is he taller than Kelsey?? If so he's probably taller than me which is toooo weird! Hailey looks bigger too! I don't understand it! That needs to happen more at the end of my mission cuz now they're going to grow even more!! It's just too weird for me!
That's super cool that dad and the priests got to go up there and ski! That sounds like a lot of fun right now.
Hailey is a boss at the piano ma--- and she always was so I wouldn't doubt it that she could do that! She's always been able to play super good songs and play them for people when she was like 4 or 5 years old!
I hope Grandpa is doing better. I have been praying for him to recover. I hope everything with Grandma is doing good too. Hey how is Grandma Chamberlain doing with her calling too? I always pray for you and her in your callings because you guys are in positions to really help and change a lot of people for the better.
The Chaparro family came again! It's soo far to go to church also from their house! We didn't get back to the pench until after midnight the other night and had to wake up at 6 to go get them again!( Just for the discipline) We were at their house doing a family night this last Saturday and we always play this game I learned from my other comp. We take our ties off and one tie is the dog and the other a raton/rat. Every person has to tie the rat tie twice around their neck and the dog tie all just one time. The point is when the dog tie catches the rat tie that person is out. They had the whole family there with a cousin that also went to church so were going to try and teach that family too! We will get that whole family baptized and the dad too. It's going to happen. The mom, Karina, was talking with the bishop and us. She was crying saying I've never seen my kids this happy and me as well. They have so many good friends here and they're always soo excited when the missionaries come over. This was super cool for me cuz this one kid I always thought he thought he was too cool for us but he's really starting to open up now and be more accepting even tho he's just 13 years old. He's a solid kid.
That's our main family. Other than that we visit and bring other less actives and other investigators and we spend a lot of time just talking in the streets.
Everything is good here and I can't believe in just 3 more transfers I'll be at a year...I'll still feel somewhat new. When you look back it was fast but when you look forward it's harder. Just look back and see how much you've done and feel good about it rather than look ahead and think-- oh wow look at all I have to do. That's really helped me.
Well, love ya ma! I hope all is good with you dad and the fam!!
LOVE,
Elder Kohler Chamberlain
