Oriana got baptized!

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!!

She is such a darling little girl.

 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

Allergies and Kenny G

So this week was a good one! We got to teach A LOT of lessons but it's starting to get super hot here! One of the days the wind really picked up too so that was nice but then it was replaced with my super bad allergies.  I went to the farmacia and got some stuff that would help. Apparently the drugs this girl gave me were super strong tho cuz I took one right after and seriously was sooo tired. I was like "ah freak--- vamos!" I can do this. Why am I sooo tired in the middle of a lesson??  Then the family we were teaching asked me if I was super tired and  I told them that I took two of these pills I had bought.  They told me that I should only take those at night and that they are SUPER powerful! I don't know why they needed to be that strong but they just were? LOL  Sometimes I'm really confused with how things go here haha but it's whatever!

We sang to a couple families this week and that was fun! I got to sing a verse in english for families can be together forever and they really likied that haha. They think people that can speak english is the coolest thing ever.

When I speak a little bit to my comp in front of people on the bus everybody just stares at me. They have absolutely no idea what I'm saying. Maybe it's the same in Spanish haha. My spanish is coming along but ya it's another language so I know it's going to take more time.

We also taught German and his family about faith and more on prayer. After, they fed us facturas which are almost like danishes? And we listened to Eminem on their phones haha.  It was a lot of fun. They're progressing but I want to push it a little faster.

So the Leon family! They love music! Sister Leon loves Kenny G and played it while we had lunch with them! I felt like it was christmas and I was with dad while putting on some Kenny G haha. It was weird...The dad is literally one of those crazy guitarists that's basically professional and plays super fast! It's like the latino songs dad would play literally haha.

They're all super good at singing I found out cause after lunch they turned on a bunch of disney songs( in spanish obviously) and they started singing. Then they were telling me to come in so I did with my comp haha. It was actually a lot of fun! They had the lyrics up on their computer and everything!

Anyway I can't send pics on my camera because it's too new. Maybe sometime soon or I'll just buy another camera here.  I love you tons mom and I'm doing super well! That's sooo funny about Hailey with the song ahaha. I can totally imagine that. When does Jordan and Tristan leave on their missions??

I love you tons mom and dad!! Sorry if I don't always respond to everything-- my comp is being dumb and wants to go get food but I tell him family is un poco mas importante que comida chavon....whatever..

Love and miss you all! Hope everybody is doing good!
