Greetings!
Just a heads up. I recently received word from the former Elder (but still good looking)
James Edwards on an upcoming SEM Reunion, to be held in England, near Manchester... mostly
to benefit former missionaries who have not been able to attend past SEM Reunions, held here
in the States.
While plans are still forthcoming on the schedule of events, three things are for sure:
1) The reunion will be held Friday & Saturday, August 25th and 26th, 2006, 2) President &
Sister Clyde will be in attendance, and 3) Edwards is still hansom as ever, despite recent
reports of being old and married, with lots of kids.
It is hoped that everyone present will join the Clydes in attending at least one session in
the Preston Temple. Also, there are tentative plans for a dinner and program. Although
many requests have been made for Edwards perform his famous break-dance ballet, inquiries
have been politely refused, due to overbooking.
The Clydera.com administration is now accepting donations to buy larger luggage for President
& Sister Clyde, in hopes of squeezing a few of us overseas. We know the chance of getting
through customs is slim, but worth the risk. In fact, we have already begun fasting, in order
to fit INSIDE his suits in his garment bag. After all, loosing a few pounds for the cause of
truth is always... oh, wait... never mind. (Yes, we are just joking.... but, still
wishing. :-)
This notice is only being sent in hopes of informing those who MAY be in a position to attend
the festivities, and is by no means an authorization by President and/or Sister Clyde to sell
everything you own (including your pets) in order to attend (though the giving away of sins,
I am sure, would be encouraged if it will help you to do so. ;-)
More details to follow, as they are received. If you have any further questions or concerns,
feel free to contact the former Elder (but still – even after this long e-mail – good looking)
James Edwards. His current contact information can be found on Clydera.com, since he recently
took time away from his busy, tiresome, and treacherous schedule to keep his Clydera.com profile
updated. (hint, hint) And, let us be honest… if Edwards can do it… not many can, but you are
definitely encouraged to try. :-]
Hoping this finds you and yours, and your neighbor, well.
Later,
Jones
PS : If you know other missionaries that have not been as diligent as Edwards, by keeping their
Clydera.com info up-to-date, please pass the word along, and call them to repentance.

Hey all you awesome SEM missionaries, here is the most current update I have on President and
Sister McConkie. - Susie & Jason Harris
Dear Susie,
So sorry to be so long responding. We're trying to figure it all out. Joseph finished #9 treatment last week.
They are getting dramatically harder on him. He is on an every other week regime and we have to play it a treatment
at a time. His platlets have been too low a few times as well as his white blood count and it has delayed his
scheduling a week or so at a time. He goes in on Monday the 15th for blood tests to see if he can start #10
treatment {. If he does stay on schedule, the week of the reunion will be the week of treatment #11. He has
had increasing effects with each treatment, especially the week and weekend of the treatment. The bottom line is
that we don't know what to expect. We want badly to come and will plan on it....but as with our life of late,
everything is a day by day thing. If you'll write again in a week or so maybe we can tell more.
Please in your communication with other SEM'ers give our great love and tremendous appreciation for the many prayers
and faith extended in Joseph's behalf. We feel it and know that things could be much worse. He is still teaching
at the Y...doesn't have a class on Fridays...but teaches Monday thru Thursday and it has been a tremendous boost for
his emotional well-being. We pray that that blessing will continue through to the end of the 12 treatments. We love
and appreciate all of you so much!!
How many former missionaries are close enough to come to a separate gathering if this doesn't work out...here at our
home or something? Just a fleeting thought....
Again, please know of our love and great appreciation!!
Love,
Brenda
