I (Kristin, Elder Mackay's mom) was able to talk to Jason quickly this afternoon just before he left for the airport. It was so good to hear his voice! He sounded excited, anxious, and just looking forward to this new adventure on his mission. I have missed him so much since he began his mission the end of June. I didn't think this was possible but I miss him more than ever!! I think it is because he is leaving the country and will be there for a while. I know that the Lord is looking over him and will take care of him. I'm so proud of him and the man he is becoming. He is enjoying serving others and learning what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. He has a long trip to Porto Alegre which will take him nearly 24 hours!!
I will update his new address and info when I hear from him once he is safely in Brazil. Thank you all for keeping him in your prayers and checking out this blog about his mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!! The gospel of Jesus Christ is real, His love is abundant, and all He asks of us is to come unto Him and follow His example. In a day of such difficulty and shifting principles, Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever and He is always there. Peace can be found in following Him. What a blessing to have in our lives!
