Missionary Mama loves this Letter!

(This was a letter that made his mama's heart so happy!)

Hey everybody!!

Hey today was a really busy but super fun P-day for us so I have to make this quick because we have to go soon!  We lost Iris and her family because they moved so we'll be sending their info to other missionaries and they'll love it because we invited her to be baptized and she said yes sooo that was awesome!! I've been doing way good with the fact that my last area is going to have 4 very likely baptisms with people I had been working my whole time over there and other new families that the Lord has been putting in our path. (The photo is my last area and some of the boys we were teaching)

It's been a week full of miracles so I have loved it!:)  Also we've been super blessed with several new people that we found this last week so it's been really good!  Other than that I'm going strong and helping my companion learn Spanish and he's been doing awesome!

Mom you look way beautiful in that photo-- seriously that's way cool!

Also PLEASE TELL TYLER THAT I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR HIM WHOOOAAA!!!  Italy, Rome Mission???  Ahaha that's seriously sooo crazy!! He's going to love it there! When does he leave?? Do you think I'll be able to see him before I go?? 

Mom I always pray for you too every night and many times more during the day for many days. I have always felt YOUR prayers and often many times I've imagined your voice trying to comfort me for when times have been most hardest for me while being here. Thank you Ma :)

I have to go because we don't have a whole lot of time but you're the most amazing woman I know Mom. You're the best.  HEY this Sunday we get to talk to you guys!! I'm pretty sure it'll be between 12-3 pm YOUR time but during this week we're going to come in again and send you the more specific times so you'll know :)

Anyway much love ma!  You're the best and I don't know if there's anyone I love more, other than my Savior :) 

Talk to you THIS SUNDAY!! :)

Much love to you all! Talk to you soon!!

Todo Bien . . . Seguir Adelante

Hey Mi Familia-

Here are some pics of my "pench."  This is our pink building and ours is the one on the left with the door open.  There is a small market next door but it's pretty expensive so we rarely shop there.  

Here is my desk and all of our maps for our area.  

My bed is the one next to the window.

Here is our kitchen---it's WAY nicer than the one in my last area.  

 And of course, El Bano :)

Hey everybody! 

So this weekend we had a Regional conference for all of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It was in Salt Lake with Elder Cook and Elder Hales. It was really cool. They talked a lot about how members working with the missionaries is really important and how they need to always be striving to help us. Also about marriage which has ALWAYS been a big one. But right after the conference we had a family come to us saying they want to learn and be baptized...we were soo stoked and they all asked for blessings so we went to another room and just did it but wow this family is awesome! I'm gonna be making banana bread for them this week to make it better ahaha! That has seemed to help especially with other missionaries. I'm just hoping they don't have a divorce situation to deal with because that has happened soo much where we could baptize a family but we couldn't because they didn't have the papers to do it. We have a family in our ward that has been waiting for over 4 years to be baptized because he can't get divorced from his wife that he hasn't seen in over...30 years. It's ridiculous...there's a lot to complain about Argentina but I try not to haha.

But other than that we're finally starting to teach another family that's like for sure going to get baptized after 4 plus months or so! Also we're still working with the Alonso family/ the references from a recent convert in another ward! If all goes as planned we should have...at least...11 baptisms and maybe 14 if the law actually did something to help people get divorced faster from what president told us but I'm getting more info on that. It's a pretty big fat number but there's always a first and who said it was bad to be positive? I'm just gonna think "Baptisms... Baptisms" and they're eventually gonna come.  These families are the ones!  

Wow I almost forgot to tell you---- its almost kinda normal for me in the mish now ahaha! Soo our chapel got broken into really bad... like a bunch of windows were broken(even though you can't get through them because of the bars) They broke them with bare hands so there was blood everywhere...?? Also they somehow got inside and broke down a triple lock door which has literally 3 locks from bottom, middle, then top. I don't know how they even did that but we went to go play some futbol in the little court that the church has and we saw it... the members already knew about it but ya its was pretty bad. They stole the computer which had a lot of information which helped us and the members with less actives, part member families and just a lot of other things like tithing etc...sooo were trying to help out the best we can. They even broke into the primary cabinet with the kids snacks and stuff and they were ALL gone....seriously? I couldn't believe it, but todo bien ("it's all good") ----God knows who they are and we're gonna seguir adelante. ("move forward")

Love you all tonzz have a great week!

"Cuidense" - Take Care

Hey Family,

So this week was pretty good! We are getting ready to baptize another 4 people by next month! We had a cool baptism that we saw the hermanas work with and that was super cool cause they had been working with this guy for a while. Like 4-5 months!

We are helping another hermana in our ward right now too who is on the edge of becoming inactive because of a rude hermano in our ward. We're really praying that she'll come back and stay cause she hasn't come for the past 3 weeks. Her name is Hermana Coronel so if you would all pray for her to keep on to her testimony in the church and learn how to deal with another member in the ward that would be awesome! Our goal for our zone this month is 12 and we're getting close to that and will probably hit 15 JUST for our zone so that's exciting!

Other than that we have mice in our pench cuz I found the inside of my suitcase with a bunch of poop pellets all over it. haha sweeet!! Also ya most mice and rats here have some pretty dangerous diseases because of the water and other reasons. I don't know what those other reasons are but I have to wash everything in my suitcase by hand for now unless I find a cool hermana to help me out with a little washer! Also we have interviews with president this next week so I'm super excited for that!

We also had a big ward activity where everyone made food from other countries and talked about how the church got started and how it is today! They were all countries in South America and then the U.S. We talked about Joseph Smith and made mac and cheese( cheese pasta haha) and BBQ wings and they were gone soooo fast! I didn't get one...haha that was hard! 

Anyway those were some things that happened this week.

I miss and love you all!! Cuidense!!

Love Elder K Chamberlain
