Looking for U of U gym shorts

hey guys how was your week??

mine was cool. not too much craziness this week. me and elder yapo are still enjoying it over here. right now we're waiting for the assistants to call and give us the transfer news.

today we went to the takoradi stake center to play some soccer against my old cape coast zone, it was so sweet to see all my old boys there. elder adam's new companion elder brown seems cool. i had to say bye to some pretty good friends who are finishing their missions today. elder strong, who was my zone leader in cape coast for 10 1/2 months is going, obviously i'm pretty close with him. there is also another kid, elder dunford, from wisconsin who's going in addition to my last companion elder halling. some studly missionaries.

shannon and kev are moving to arizona this week?! the last i heard they were deciding between florida and maybe arizona holy crap!! wow. i hope all goes well for em. ill keep em in my prayers.

about the lambs - they seem like they're doing alot better now. one of our investigators, brother hayford has been a huge help to them. he's been spreading word around town and visiting all of the shops and stuff so that if people come to sell their stuff around they'll hopefully recognize it. it's a pretty nice laptop so people will recognize it if they've been told about it. the chances are pretty small that they'll get anything back. all i know is if i see any ghanaians wearing a pair of black u of u gym shorts, then no questions asked i'm just gunna tackle him.

we don't have a ton of people to meet with right now, so we're still working on visiting the members to get to know them and get referrals from them. we really do have a sweet ward over here. it's alot more established and more like back home than moree was, which is kinda sad cause the church has been in moree longer than it has here i think.

well i better let ya go i got some more emails to write this week. i love you and miss you.

love, elder mackay

ps mom can you do me a couple of favors?? those printed out stickers to address the envelopes are sweet, except with that address i can only send the letters through ghana post. i think i'm gunna start sending all my stuff pouch so if you get a chance could you print off those same stickers with the gccm, po box 30150, salt lake city, utah 84130-0150 address on it?? the other favor would be to please forward some emails to some of my friends. i'll send them if i have time. i'm gunna go to the back soon ...love you thanks.
