Back with Elder Adams - go Nevada!! : )

well, this was not a normal week for me. on friday, my companion got transfered to kumasi. and you'll never guess who my new companion is... elder adams! how crazy is that? we were together for three transfers before and now we'll be together again maybe until i finish my mission. i really enjoyed being with elder wright - he was just a great companion, and its sad that my time with him was so short. but it'll be sweet to be companions with probably my best friend in the mission, again. i've only been here for 3 weeks, so we're learning together right now...

(president decided to make a big splash so he moved out almost all of the missionaries in a district in kumasi, and sent elder wright there to be the district leader. so president decided that elder adams would be my new companion!) so besides that, we had zone leader council so all the zone leaders were in town on wednesday.

the trend of awesome people that are baptised AFTER i've left my areas continued this week... both maame and mother were baptised in bantama and i am sooo happy about it. also, a long-time less active that we were teaching named brother morgan came to church too.

here's a sweet quote from samuel lane. he is a member from bakaano that works around the mission home reparing stuff when it gets broken. his young family is one of the sweeeet ones in the branch. he's a stake high councilman. anyways, he was teaching sunday school yesterday, and was talking about the people who passed by in the story of the good samaritan. he said "they thought that they didn't have time to help because they were going to do the work of God. but they didnt know that the work of God was along the way." i liked that one.

well, that's all for today, i love you.

love, elder mackay

P.S. mom thanks for organizing all that stuff for school in fall, i'm sure it took quite a bit of time to take care of. as for the classes, maybe i'll just ask president sabey to give me permission to go to byu's website and sign up for my classes or at least look at some of them. could you send me my username and password and the websites to do that maybe??
Here's Jesse with Elder Adams a year ago.
