Weekly Letter

Hello Everybody! Recording Live from somewhere! :-D Hey Whats up? How`re things? How was conference? :-D
Things are going alright on the other side of the world. Spring is on its way so I don`t have to worry about being extra cold. There`s always a level of chilly here in Chile :-D Ugh I hate myself for saying that :-D Speaking of awful jokes here`s a spanish one. ¿Què hacen pescados en agua? Nada :-D Mom`s going to have explain that :-D ANyways yeah I`m aight. I wrote letters today and I copied all my pictures onto the thumbdrives. I`m sending one in the package and don`t worry I have a copy with me.
Seriously though, how was conference? It was pretty fun here. We get to watch it in english actually :-D They set up a tv downstairs in the stake center for all the gringos and everybody else watches in spanish upstairs. I feel bad because I had to listen to the first two talks in spanish cuz the tv wasn`t set up yet and there is a huge difference between hearing the speaker and a translator :-P I had a good time anyways :-) Exceot that none of our investigators came :-P Curses. I told one family that if they came that they`d recieve whatever answer they needed to get baptized and at the time they were like that sounds cool, maybe we should go ,and I was like (evil laugh) Now the First presidency and Los Doce Apostoles are gonna drop some gospel bombs on their heads and they`ll have to get baptized. But they saw through my trap and escaped :-P Sucks to be me right now. :-D Naw just kidding. It was a bummer that none of our investigators came but we still got a baptism on saturday coming up and none of our investigators have told us to stop coming back so i guess you win some you lose some. :-D
Speaking of not getting letters, I think that all the letters that were supposed to be sent to Chile when I was at home are either at the MTC or with some other missionary whose name is James F. McConnell the 4th. Very possible I know, but I`m sure he`s not as good looking as me :-D
Elder Valdivia. My godfather, is a pretty cool guy. :-) The other Elders describe him as a very big kid and he is most of the time :-D He`s also a great teacher during our lessons. We were teaching one time and the house began to shake and we were like ^^ITS THE HOLY GHOST!! GET BAPTIZED OR HE`LL CRUSH YOUR HOUSE!!!^^ :-D Naw, but we were teaching one time when the house began to move around. Later we joked about how the voices of angels shake the earth. Actually in the scriptures there are a ton verses about the earth moving around. Look it up :-D But yeah, Elder VAldivia is a really cool guy. I`ve heard that some of his previous comps got pretty annoyed with him and in Sams letter I explained a little bit, but I haven`t had any problems so far :-D It good to be companions with him.
Què mas Què mas . . . That`s basically it for me. :-P I`m actually very boring :-P About the address, everything goes through the office. I`d give an address that was closer but there isn`t one. The missionaries themselves do not have mailboxes. It`s alright cuz its not to hard to go to the city to get whatever. the Spanish is coming along great. I get more and more of the jokes everyday :-D and . . .Yeah thats basically it.
So mom dad sam meri grace and sophie, I love you all and Be Happy
Sincerely
Elder McConnell
