He was a teenaged slave baptized in Mississippi in 1846. The next contact he had with the Church was when he showed up in Utah in 1867 with his wife, sister and sister's family. He made di Francesca and Anthony Obinna look like models of connection to the Church. At least they got letters from Church leaders, Chambers got nothing. He was later made an "assistant deacon" and was very active in the work of the deacons, that is cutting wood. An article on him was published in either the Ensign or New Era in 1975.John Pack Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086707132348039415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786908254617003646.post-35194635929141945392019-08-25T06:35:20.005-06:002019-08-25T06:35:20.005-06:00I heard that Vincenzo of Italy never quite had muc...I heard that Vincenzo of Italy never quite had much respect among his fellow Italians.

I heard that recently. Wonder if its true.Eduardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019747288076783700noreply@blogger.com
