I freaking love Moree

hey guys!

i hope your week was sweet, mine was! nothing crazy happened, except elder adams was finally feeling well again so we were able to go out in hit it hard again, and i mean hard! we taught 54 lessons this week, and most of them were long long lessons. it's so nice being with a companion who is ready to suffer and work. were trying to sprint while we can. i'm just dead tired, and any of you returned missionaries will vouch for me when i say that there is no better feeling while on the mish.

i got your elder woodhouse visit letter this week, mom, thanks . . . i feel more confident and motivated from it!

stake conference is coming up for us too - i think it's this month. it'll be cool. it sounds like yours back home was cool too. shauna you are nuts and are gunna have another broken heart. (it kinda seems like i started it all though. after i left, she needed a shoulder to put her head on, but when that kid leaves on his mission, she needs another until that kid leaves!haha)

well, on wednesday morning i walked into elder chesa and elder rappleye's room and elder rappleye was like "happy 8 months dude." can you believe that?? i'm 1/3 of the way done! that is just crazy. i don't feel anywhere near that old on my mission and i can't believe it.

mom, i remember you threw in a comment a couple of emails ago about how i havent been sick barely at all unless i'm getting all sick and not telling you about it. honestly, the only ones i've had i thinki told you. i had typhoid fever right out of the mtc, almost three months later i ate some stew that wasnt cooked well and had it bad for about a day and a half, and then i had the flu a few weeks ago. thats everything worth gurmbling about, and i've been way lucky. i know some americans that have had it pretty pretty bad so i'm counting my blessings right about now. so over the first 8 months i've had 3 sckenesses, 3 companions, and 1 area.

i freaking love moree and the more i think about it the more i wouldnt mind staying here more. i'm so tight with the people that it'd be rough to start over in a new ward. but we'll see what the Lord has in store for me.

i have a crazy busy day, i have like a million things that i need to do before i go to sleep, and on top of it all, i gotta prepare an instruction for district meeting tomorrow...

so, i love you, miss you!

love, elder mackay

by the way mom, thanks alot for setting up that account, i'll see if i can send those old pics and videos again right now and i'll make sure to tell you whenever i send stuff to that account so that you don't have to check it every week. and shauna, sorry i dont have much time to write. i'll send you some love next week. your boyfriend is a nut case. love you.
