Thanksgiving was great! The last two weeks have been good but a lil slow.
I've probably eaten more food this week than I have any other week in my entire life. We had three Thanksgiving meals and every other day we had members give us insanely huge and delicious meals. I got really close to throwing up on multiple occasions, but it's all worth it for the gains.
Mason is on date for December 26th (gonna make for a dope bday) ! He's the most awesome and pure kiddo.
Jennifer is on date for December 19th. It can be a little tough to deal with her and get her ready, so send some prayers her way!
We had some awesome lessons with Ray. On sunday we helped him with his christmas lights and he taught us how to bake some christmas treats. He's the kindest, funniest, and most wholesome old man. He offered to buy us some Disney World passes but unfortunately we can't take him up on that offer.
Our mission has started cold calling to find people to teach! It's obviously not our go-to source of finding, but it's more of a time filler (and obviously miracles come from it every once in a while). We have some funny and awkward interactions with people over the phone. It's great. On our 3rd call, we happened to call a less-active member from another ward and she was offended we didn't know who she was. She was like, "What, are you guys just cold calling people these days??" And I said, "Well believe it or not, YES."
For Thanksgiving we got invited to play some football with some guys in the ward. Well one yoked tongan guy that played football for BYU invited all of his yoked tongan friends and we got WRECKED. Haha it was so fun though.
The Moscrips invited us to go indoor skydiving with them. We are hoping and praying that President Ashcraft will let us because that would make for the coolest pday of all time.
We got a nice thing going right now. We are still covering both the Windermere and Olympia wards as a trio. It keeps us nice and busy.

P.S. The mission is testing out instagram on some companionships to see how effective it is for finding. That's why you might have seen my steezy new official Elder MacLay missionary account on IG. If you haven't seen it, go give it a follow @paytonmaclay
