I Believe this is the 104th EMAIL

HEY EVERYBODY!!! :-D COMÓ LES VA?!?! HEy guys how`re things? :-) I hope good :-D ELder McConnell, sounds like the missions fun but still challenging :-D THats ok, thats how its supposed to be :-D Enjoy all of it, even the hard parts. SO I`ve been a missionary for two years. . . . People ask me ``How much time do you have?`` I`m like ``two years`` and they say ``Wow thats a lot`` I say ``Yeah`` then the question ``Was it hard?`` and I respond ``You bet`` and then they ask ``Was it worth it`` and I declare ``Yes. Every Single Second of it. I will never be the same and that is wonderful``. What a blessing. Live it up Bean Choro. I have little time today but I still want to write a bit. I will be calling probably sunday night but I`ll phone call before. Last one :-D No changes in sector or companion. Elder Attridge is my assassin. Lovely :-D WE had a Wonderful WArd activity Friday:-D White Elephant. Everyone was asking us ``Why is it called a White Elephant?`` :-D This week our investigators kind of jad it hard. WE had two mothers freak out, one is going in for cancer surgery, others simply can`t find their testimonies BUT WE WILL STILL WIN. We have to win we`re on Gods team. :-D Here are some names Coni and Nelson(Father) Tapia: Her Mom Claudia does NOT want her to be baptized and now doesn`t want her to learn anymore. Coni is also praying for a testimony. Nacho Jaque: Same story but his Father is also against him learning anything. THey both like the church and want to learn more. They want the peace they feel when they come. Alejandro and Hilda: She has surgery this week so naturally they are both worried. He believes everything but she is still a little reluctant but they both like it that we visit them. CInthia and Aylin: They read and pray but they still can`t seem to achieve that testimony that they are looking for and actually it would seem that Cinthia has some sort of secret doubt that she is unwilling to share. THats the people :-) THere are always others but those are who we are focusing on. Elder Attridge is awesome :-) We`re doing great :-D Now for an experience. We were talking a bit with an Adventist father and his family. We invited them to read of the account of Jesus´ visit to the Americas and how it would be cool for them to read what he said. THe man paused for a second and said ``I know that you mormons believe that this all happened but NO ES REAL, it isn`t real.`` He then said nothing trying to disprove it. All he said that it wasn`t real. . . . . . . . It is though :-) It really did happen. After 2 years of talking about it I have a little something to say. The church is true. There really is a God, he talks to prophets, he`s given them his power and because of that we can go back to live with him. What a blessing :-) THats it guys. Mom Dad Elder Sam Meri Grace and Sophie, I love you all and BE HAPPY!!! SIncerely Elder Jamie McConnell
