Weekly EMAIL

HEY EVERYBODY!! :-D HOWZIT GOING?!?!?!
Hey guys, how`re things? I hope good. SOunds like the despidida
is getting coplicated :-P Thats never fun. But thats ok, Things will
work out. Pres Hinckley said that AND HES A PROHPET. Prophets rule.
SO Sam, YOu`re on your way out. I know its hard, but you are
going to see everybody a LOT sooner than you think. Right now thats
really hard to believe, and honestly I don`t think you realize it
until like 20 months into the mission. But that day will come :-)
So things are going good here in Lota Bajo. Honestly things were a
little complicated, we had some companionship issues but we were ok at
least :-D Problem was that we weren`t able to work a LOT this week
:-) But thats ok. Thats why repentance is so handy, you stop doing
what you did before and you never do it again, genius:-D
FAbian is doing good. He can`t get baptized this week, cuz he
didnt go to church yesterday :-P BUT HE WILL BE BAPTIZED!!! Just not
this week :-) Keep Praying. The other investigators we couldn`t see
but I think SOMEBODY coughgodcough kept them safe. At least I hope.
THe attendance here is on average more than one hundred. Last week
it was 150. ITs a good branch and in fact, the city had a ward and
two branches in it at some point but something happened :-P Thats why
we`re here, to fix that :-D The members are really cool , and we`re
really cool so its a perfect fit :-D THAts one thing sam, where ever
you go, try and share something or at least ask your comp to do it.
Even if they are long time members, leave something behind.
I sent letters today so those should arrive sometime in two weeks.
It also has a picture card in it :-D Sorry for not sending one in so
long :-P :-(
Something I learned this week that was really cool. The 2000
stripling Warriors were not afraid to lose their lives, WHY?. I
listened to a talk by John Bytheway and the answer was ``We are not
afraid because we are clean. We have nothing to fear. If we die,
we`ll be with God, if we live, He`ll be with us`` HE said something
else interesting ``You know whats better than happiness, Peace.`` If
you are doing what you should and things aren`t working out ``Be still
and know that I m God``, and things will work out. Maybe not now, or
soon, or in this life, but it`ll work out :-D I like believing in all
this because its easier when you believe :-D
Thats it guys :-) Mom Dad Sam Meri Grace and Sophie, I love you all
SO MUCH And BE HAPPY!!
Sincerely
Elder Jamie McConnell
