Hey Family!

Well another week done and gone!!  The time goes faster and faster.  We will be finishing up with the Zone Conferences this week.  That will be a relief, we haven't had much time in our area lately.  I hope that all is well back home.  Everything sounds great, seems like it is getting pretty hot, poor Tracy, that has got to be hot down there on the turf.

Anyways, going back to Tulancingo was good!  It was probably the last time that I will work there.  I didn't get to see any converts we were too busy.  I thought alot about Elder Falslev when I was there and all the good times that we had.  That is great that Cody got home, does he look any different or the same?

The work is going great.  This week we baptized Jonathan.  He was super ready, he preaches the Gospel to all his buddies but they don't live in our area.  haha  We also baptized Keegan!  He is Carl's buddy from Haiti.  He is just shorter!!  It was so legit, an hermano in the ward here baptized him.  Also we baptized Teresa's daughter, Minerva.  She is also great!  It was a great baptismal service, it is always better when we can baptize future priesthood holders.  This next week we are hoping to have a few more baptisms, we have a lot in teaching.

Everything is great here.  I know that this is the work of the Lord.  Who the Lord calls the Lord qualifies.  I have felt the blessings of heaven pour upon me while I have been here in my mission.  The Lord calls no one to fail and I know he is with us in this great battle against the adversary!  We know we will never lose if we follow His counsel.  I love you guys!  Have a great week!

Hola Familia,

Hey everybody how have things been this week.  Have you guys seen Kayd any more?  How's he doin?  That is crazy that Cody gets home this week!  After him I will be the next.  President is keeping us busy though, there isn't much time to think about going home.  This month we are into the zone conferences, so we go to all of them and have to train the missionaries.  This week I will be headed back out to Tulancingo.

Elder Myers bought some weights so we have been doin some pretty good exercise lately.  I don't wanna get home fat!  haha speakin of fat, how is Odis the Blob?  Whitney sent me some pictures and he looks grayer ever time I see him.  I'm sure once he dies Mom will be wantin to get another Pug!  How have the Pheasants been doing that you guys got?  I hope good.  Duke is gonna love huntin again.

Here the rain has started again.  It rained all day Friday Saturday and Sunday.  But the work goes on.  We have quite a few people in teaching right now.  Hopefully they can all make it to the font!!  Jonaton, our baptism for this next week is awesome.  He says that he knows that the church is true and that it is where he knows he needs to be.  I'm pretty sure he would have gotten baptized his first Sunday in Church but the rule is 3 Sundays. haha.

There isn't much new going on here.  Everything is pretty much the same.  That is great that all is ready for my return.  We will probably have to go clothes shoppin.  Oh and don't forget to remind Lacey who's laptop she's been using for the past two years haha.  That is awesome that she got a bike!!  Who is on the Honda next to her?  Sounds like summer is a blast back home!!  Have a great week, love you guys!

Hola Familia, How is good ole Benson?? Things are hippidy hoppin here in Mexico City! It has been another great week here. Elder Myers is a great companion, he was a wrestler in High School and we always wrestle in the apartment, but he always wins. haha Well, Elder Jordan ended up his mission, he ended really well. He taught me a lot of stuff. Elder Falslev also finished up. I can't believe it! I'm the only Benson Boy still out here representin in Mexico. Haha It was weird saying good bye to Elder Falslev, cuz I know I will see him soon. I'm sure that his homecoming talk was great. The work is going good! This week we baptized Teresa, I don't remember if I had told you guys about her yet or not. We found her 3 weeks ago in the street. Anyways she was baptized yesterday, I performed the ordinance. Everything went great and she bore her testimony after and it was legit. We are teaching quite a few people right now. I think this coming Sunday we might be baptizing a Mom and her two daughters, we have been teaching them for quite some time now. And for the 24th we have some others progressing. We are teaching a friend of Carls named Keegan, he is also black and from Haiti, he told us that he wants to be baptized the 24th. We also are teaching another guy named Jonathon that we found last Sunday. He went to Church and was asking us who was going to baptize him on the 24th. haha he is going well too. I have never worked so hard in all my mission. I am happy to be ending this way. Hopefully we will continue to receive the Lord's blessings. The weather has been hot down here. In July the rainy season should begin. I get sun burnt about every day here haha. Well things are great, thanks for all of your support and love. Peace out!! Love Elder Chambers

Hola Familia, Things here are going great, I hope that all is well back home as well. Everything sounds good. So yup it's Elder Jordan's last week here, he goes on Friday to the mission home. So President had to make arrangements so that I didn't end up without a companion. We had some special changes and we have been in a threesome now since Wednesday. My new companion is Elder Myers from Idaho Falls. He is legit. He has got about 16 months in the mission, so he will be the one that kills me. haha Well I guess it is time for all the missionaries to start gettin home! That is cool that Braydon and Ethan are both back home. I'm sure that it is a pretty big change. Elder Jordan is gettin pretty nervous haha. I can't believe that Kayd will also be home this Saturday. He has been a great missionary here in the East Mission, one of the best!! The work is going great. This past we had three baptisms, Adelina the mom and her two kids, Gustavo and Natalia. They are awesome people. We found them contacting about 3 weeks ago and she invited us to her house in that same moment to share a message. She is divorced from her husband and was looking for work. We promised her that if she went to Church and kept the Sabbath Day holy that she would find a job. She went and that next Monday she got a call, saying that she had been accepted to work in an office. It was so cool, I know that the Lord blesses us when we do what he asks of us. All of our converts here are still going good and strong. Our Gospel Principles class is starting to get pretty big. We should have one or two more baptisms this coming Sunday. The Lord has really blessed us. I am glad that I will be finishing my mission here in this area. That's great that you guys got me a new bed. I bet it will be like heaven compared to the mission beds haha. That's also awesome that Dana got baptized. She looks really happy in the pictures that you sent to me. That's good for her. Who is the next in the Family to get baptized? Well I gotta run. I am sending the baptism pictures. The Elder on the Right is my new companion! Anyways love you guys!! Elder Chambers

Well another week is over with. Everything is going good here, I hope that all is well back home. Sara got baptized yesterday, the baptismal service went great, Eric baptized her. I will be sending the picture. Not much else to say!! Have a great week everybody! oh ya the hermana Angeles went through the Temple this week, it was awesome. Love ya Elder Chambers

Hola Familia, Well the work continues forward! Time is flying by, the days are fast and the nights are even faster! It feels like I don't get much sleep haha. How is the family this week? Things here in Mexico are going great. The Volcano continues to spit out smoke, every once in a while, when the smog goes away you can see it from our area. Nobody really thinks that it will do anything though. The Trainings that we are giving are going really good. We have done 6 in these last two weeks and we will finish up the last 3 this week. My companion and I are doing the training on how to work efficiently and use our time wisely. So far it has went really really well, President has been pleased. So this Sunday we had the baptisms of Monica and Joselin. I will be sending you guys the picture, I baptized them. They are really cool converts. The Aunt Monica, told us that when we stopped them in the street to talk to them that she knew it was a sign from God and that she needed to listen to us. She had to stop smoking, but she dropped it easily. They were really ready for their baptisms. This Sunday, Carl, Enrique, and Eric all of my converts here got the Priesthood. Eric and Enrique blessed the Sacrament together. Eric is super excited to be in the Church. He went to some multi stake dance the other day and really liked it. Right now we are teaching a few different people. Sara, is who we are focusing on most. She has been to Church twice and has really liked it. We are pushing to have her baptism this coming Sunday, she is a little bit scared, but I know that she has felt the Spirit and will be able to make the right decision. She has a 21 year old daughter who gives her a lot of trouble, she is looking for a change in her life. The Gospel will help her alot. Things are going great here in the mission. I hope that all is well back home as well. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass! I love you guys!! Have a great week! Elder Chambers

Hola Familia, Well it was great talking to everybody. Everyone looks good, even Otis is looking better haha. So there are just a few things that I forgot to ask you guys yesterday. If my talk is going to be on the 22nd what would the topic be? Also I took out quite a bit of money today to make some purchases. Hopefully I didn't go over, haha I don't think I did. But I got me a suit, it is legit!!! It was from Men's Warehouse and it cost 50 dollars haha. It was a steal! And Mom about the shirts. I think that I will only need two white shirts. I am the same size so you could just get the same ones, but I have really come to love the enro brand. I remember them telling me also that there is a regular and a slim fit one. I would like one regular and one slim fit. The garments are also the same, but I want the dry lux ones. They are the best. And also I like all of the tops to have the big dip, or the eternal smile as the neck line. haha I am also the same size on pants. I will probably need just one pair of nice black pants. I will be set on Suits and Ties. Things here are still going great. The Lord continually blesses us and my testimony grows every day. It will be a sad day when it is time to take off the black nametag! Well I love you guys here are some pics of the baptism. Have a great week! Elder Chambers
