Oi, Tudo Mundo,
Well this week was a slow one, with New Years and all. But we were able to see Minor and Porfirio. We saw them twice actually and we taught the restoration and then read 1 Nephi 4 with them. And those lessons went really good. Minor is actually reading the Bible everyday. So that is really great but we are trying to get him to read the Book of Mormon as well. But I think that with both of those lessons that they are finally starting to realize how important the scriptures are, after all, 1 Nephi 4 is about Nephi cutting off a man's head for them! So that was sweet! New Year's eve was crazy. Everyone was partying so we didn't teach so we went home and hung out, played some Risk, and then at midnight it sounded like WWIII out there! THERE WERE SOOO MANY FIREWORKS IT WAS RIDICULOUS!!!!!! It was sweet though. Then New Year's day we didn't teach anyone because they were all partying or drunk. So we went to a member's house and watched the Rose Bowl, President gave the whole mission permission...don't worry, which was fun. I hate football, but it was fun. Everyone wanted Stanford to win but I was all like, "there is no way a tree can kill a Spartan." (When Elder Mackay was younger, when filling out his NCAA March Madness bracket, he would choose the team whose mascot could beat the other team's mascot!!) So Michigan St. won haha! Other than that there really wasn't much else that happened. Until yesterday....
So I got a call from President Wall, and he told me that I got my visa and that I leave on the 20th!!!! I GOT MY VISA!!!! I think that it was that the Lord got tired of me asking for it, or that he thinks I'm too cool for Mardi Gras and that I should go straight to Carnival, or that I learned what I needed here. It is probably the last one haha!! But yeah. I GOT MY VISA!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED/SAD/NERVOUS GAHHH!!!! So yeah that was this week.
Well I love yall and I hope that yall had a very nice New Year. Stay classy, and remember if you have failed your rersolutions, just start again tomorrow :) Tchau!

Elder Mackay's companion, Elder Drollinger put this in his planner. Elder Mackay is in a group of four missionaries since he was a visa waiter.
