Last Week at the MTC

Hey Friends and Family!

First off,  thank you so much President and Sister Carmichael for the Jerky! Lo fue muy bueno! 

This is soo crazy! I'm having a lot of emotions go through me right now. I feel like I'm leaving home...again. All those same feelings all over again( but not as worse).  I've made several really good friends going to Mendoza and Cordoba as well! Our flight will have about 100 missionaries going from Georgia to Buenos Aries so I'm sure people in the airport will be like-- whoa what's going on?? haha!!  I've had a great week! OH I forgot to tell you earlier, I got asked to be our District Leader! It's nothing big but my good friends are the zone leaders and they're in my district:) 

Thanks for the awesome quotes too Pops! I've learned more in depth here that God only wants our best, He doesn't expect perfection.(not yet at least)

This week has been super busy and it's really weird how fast time is going. Teachers are telling me it will be even more fast and fun once I'm out there so I cant wait! We had our in-field training yesterday and one of the biggest things they teach(directly from the 1st presidency actually) is how to work with the MEMBERS. Working with members is sooo critical they say. They even made a 2 hour play about situations you should use with members! This shouldn't be used as pressure to anyone but everyone should know that the work hastens when members work with the missionary efforts! Many blessings come as well! 

Me and Brother Avila. World's most kindest, best MTC teacher... 

and knows just about everything on Joseph Smith

My Awesome District 

After a temple session today I got to see so many families together in the Celestial room and me and the elders in my district all started tearing up cuz we looked at each other and knew that this was what it was about. They all spoke Spanish too cuz there was a Spanish session right before us so all the more cool of the experience.:) 

Kelsey, I know that the temple is where we all need to strive to be. Try and go at least once a week or something like you and I used to do with each other!:) I promise.... that if you do you'll receive the blessings in your life that you are currently looking for if it be expedient unto your Heavenly Father.

(which I'm sure it is sooo you should definetly go:) 

Do you remember Bryson Kearl? I forgot to tell you... he's on all of the MTC training books for this particular training book ha!!

I don't really know what to fully expect in Argentina but I'm just going to dive in. Apparently the 2nd day we'll be driven to street corners and hand out Books of Mormon to people so that should be fun/interesting. I'm honestly really excited to see how the food is though cuz everyone says that you won't come home because of it!! haha. I'll find out for all of you guys!

I hope you're all doing well and I'm sooo proud of all the things that you are doing back at home! Keep the faith and work hard in whatever you're doing!

Much love to you all!

July 12, 2014

Hey Mom (and family) Wow that looks like you guys are having soooo much fun in Cali!!( well you were!) I have had soo much fun on this P day and I can't believe how fast time is going here. I'm learning soo much and studying A LOT! 

This last Tuesday Neil L. Anderson of the quorum of the twelve came and talked to us and it was broadcasted to all of the world's MTC's! He talked a lot about having the spirit in everyday teaching and how missionary work has never been more important than today because of the powerful influence and attacks of our common enemy Satan. I'm soo glad to be a part of this global army and help these people who are soo humble receive something worth so much!

Also this AMAZING piano player who got off his mission from North Dakota about 7 years ago played some of the hardest songs. They were even harder than "Rondo Capricioso"( at least I thought) He trains in Russia with what he thinks is the best piano player in the world. He was soo good and has such a strong testimony of missionary work. I haven't been able to play the piano much or at all because everything is regulated and you're always studying or learning from a teacher. I'll probably be able to play a lot more it sounds like when I'm out in the field. 

Anyway not a whole lot else has happened. Please tell everybody that I will be writing letters to them throughout the week and for now tell dad that his advice was perfect and I'm gaining a lot more faith in my heavenly Father:) I'm just trying to find time to do what he said but I just have to reorganize my schedule a little:) 

I love you all so much! Oh and tell Hailey that she will be getting a lot of spanish words coming her way by letter this week! I miss and love you all so much! Let's make this fun for all of us. Till next time!

P.S. I have pictures:)  

Love your son,

Elder Kohler Chamberlain

 The guy on the left is 6'4" and I'm doing splits with him today!  He's the only one in my district but these guys are my favorite elders!

Elder Bleak and I at lunch.  (We actually see each other a lot but I finally remembered my camera today!)  p.s. Elder Bleak's sister is serving a mission in Gilbert, AZ and she is in our home ward!

(Another quick email from Elder Chamberlain):  I'll take a picture of the park we work out at! There's pull up bars and places by the benches where we can do push ups/ situps. I haven't started using the bands yet cause we have a weight gym too so i workout twice a day but only on weekdays besides wednesday which is break day for me. (I mean I personally choose to not wake up earlier than we have to on wednesdays. My companion is willing to get up at 5:50 and run about 2 miles then do 3-4 rounds of 3-4 sets of workout routines like back, abs etc:) I'm really grateful that he's willing to get up haha!  Dad mondays and thursdays we do biceps back and legs and tuesdays and fridays we do tricepts pecs and shoulders. We do abs too on all of the days:) 

And love ya mama;)

Sometimes we play pictionary after class! ha ha!
