Skyping with McKaylee according to her mom:
- I will always, always cherish the memory of McKaylee tearfully thanking us for supporting her financially on a mission. I hope I can always carry in my heart seeing and hearing her say, "it has changed my life."
- McKaylee has a new scripture case that she made while her companion was sick. It was made in the style of Elder Chase Thurgood. Maybe next Christmas Chase & McKaylee can help us make our own.
- She also did a LOT of reading while her companion was sick - really enjoyed a book by Elder Holland.
- McKaylee has a great attitude, is very upbeat and tries to pump others up. She is doing such a great job as a missionary. Trust me, when President Wright says, "Sister Thurgood, how can I let a missionary like you go home 6 weeks early for school," I get it.
- She has created a yellow study book - kind of like her own topical guide where she puts a principle at the top and then writes scriptures that are meaningful to her underneath as well as common questions that come up regarding that principle.
- Her companion has taught her that when she's driving and is 99% sure she should go one direction, then she should turn and go the other way. It actually seems to be working for her.
- McKaylee said the Elders wanted Christmas to be fun for the missionaries so they asked each of them what was a tradition that each of them did. McKaylee told them about Bingo and so they said they would play Bingo on Christmas night.
