President and Sister Shulz

hey!

sorry this one'll probably be short again...but it's midnight and it's been a whirlwind of a day so you'll have to excuse me...

but man these last few weeks have been crazy, especially today. the sabey's left (that was tough to see them drive away) and the shulz have come. they feel a bit overwhelmed with all that they have to learn and they have such little time to do it cause the saunders and half of the missionaries in the mission will finish their missions in the next three transfers.

We spent this past week showing president and sister shulz around the mission. they went and had a 'meet the new mission president meeting.' basically, we went to each city and each zone and had a meeting. the shulz interviewed every single one of the missionaries. it was cool, and it was very very helpful for the shulz i think. they are learning very quickly. i really dont see any culture shock in them, cause they've already served one mission in ghana. its just all the mission pressident stuff that they've got to learn.

today was just a crazy crazy day. transfer news came out to the mission. there were four missionaries that had their calls changed while they were in the mtc from ivory coast to cape coast.

our truck had a flat tire that we had to get fixed, the internet company came and worked on our internet, we had some departing missionaries coming from all over the mission that we had to pick up (all of which were late and one of which was super late because the bus broke down on the way), we had to finish off transfers and call the mission with the news, we prepared for accra tomorrow and filled up the cars with gas, we had dinner and a nice testimony meeting with the departing missionaries, we saw and said goodbye to former elder akoki, a missionary from our mission from ivory coast who has come back to visit, and we planned for what we'll do tomorrow in accra and wednesday on the way back.

we have a meeting tomorrow with elder sitati where we'll hopefully get more info and get some more guidance about how we work on our new units we are creating throughout the mission. we'll wake up early tomorrow and head to accra. we'll go to the temple, do some stuff at the area office, eat some food, run some errands, drop some missionaries off to send them home, and go to the mtc to meet the incoming missionaries.

then early wednesday morning we'll bring the 16 new missionaries back to the mission home and we'll orient them and get them sent on their way. so its going crazy and there's no sign of slowing down.

at the beginning of my mission, the transfers couldnt go by fast enough - but this transfer had gone by CRAZY slow and i love it.

thanks for everything love you!!!

love, elder mackay
