When Elder Chamberlain served in his first area, Godoy Cruz, he met a sweet little girl named, Oriana. He and his companions taught her the gospel and really came to love her and her family. Elder Chamberlain wasn't able to baptize her because he was transferred to another area. But just today, Elder Chamberlain sent us some photos that his friend, Elder Ruiz Diaz (the Elder with the glasses) sent him of little Oriana getting baptized. We are grateful that Elder Chamberlain was able to introduce the gospel to her. He is SO happy for her!!
Here is Oriana with her mother and Elder Ruiz Diaz, Kohler's former companion.
(Here is his letter from today, March 2, 2015)
Hey Pops-
Wow Wade-- what a stud to run a full marathon! Haha! That is a really good time for a man that's turning 59 years old! Way to finish!! Please let him know that I think that's super cool and congratz!Happy Birthday Mom! Sorry I'm late telling you (kinda not my fault haha) Mom (and almost you, Dad) are 45 but that's still nothing...You have soo much life ahead...I will see 70-80 year old people smoking and drinking and I'm surprised at their age when they tell me! That sounds like fun though what you all did for dinner and presents. I'm sure mom liked those things.Wow, that's really cool Dad about having the consultant speak to your general dentist friends...Not only the fact that he will be edifying you and your staff/businesses but you are getting them all involved to refer straight to you. Hey how's that one chapter going for that guy Brian Tracy? Was that it? I can't remember. I'm soo excited for the future!Man that's funny Hailey and you have been struggling with allergies. I had the worst allergy attack in like all my life I swear! I was with my comp and it hit me( late at night so good thing) in a less active house and it was bad...just a constant dripping nose and red eyes...If I tilted my head backwards I could feel everything in my nose run back it was pretty bad/gross...But I thought I was going to die that night cuz the 2 close farmacias were closed but my comp had some pills so that made me happy haha!Wow I'm sooo excited for Dayton, Nick and Colton getting their mission calls!! They're going to kill it! Colton should email Keaton about the Mexico MTC!Man Brandt is coming home? That was fast! That's a guy I can't wait to see when I go home haha. Miss that guy. Speaking of fast too I have 2 more transfers and a week or so and I'll be at a year which is really crazy to think! I still feel like the new kid somewhat but I can speak really well!This week nothing super cool happened. A lot of talking on the streets/knocking on doors. Saturday we had a service to clean the church and we got to perform Saturday morning for mutual in front of all the kids all ages( Like 30 kids?) We performed a skit of what missionaries do in their schedule everyday so that was fun! We showed what we do when we we're working out. I was going hard and my comp was slowly stretching while in his bed we said cuz he's actually done that before ahaha!!Ya it has been raining but not too muddy. The ground is really dry and they still have sidewalks kinda. They are more like cemented rocks that are so grounded down now from wear and tear that somehow it's not even really a sidewalk anymore haha so there's a little mud that gets on the shoes but I usually clean and polish them later anyway so it's ok. End of April is when it will start getting pretty cold until about the end of August or so. It will be weird to have winter in your summer!Love ya tons dad-- have an awesome week!!Tu hijo,Elder Kohler Chamberlain
