"You will be an official representative of the Church . . . Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ . . . Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children." . . . Thomas S. Monson

Missionary Clothing...Check!

We finally ventured out today and went shopping. Mr. Mac is pretty much a one-stop shopping for missionaries. They even had a microfiber towel! We ended up getting: 2 long sleeved shirts, 10 tailored  short sleeved shirts-they were too boxy, 8 pair slacks, 1 white pair slacks, 15 pair socks, 3 pair Ecco shoes, 6 polyester ties, 2 belts, luggage, sewing kit, shoe shine kit, battery alarm clock, missionary bag- it can be a backpack or a shoulder bag, toiletry bag, and on and on! Oh ya, and a missionary bear for mom :)   We were there almost 3 hours. It was kinda exhausting but fun! I never once even felt like crying which is something I was worried about :'/  So happy to have that part over with. Hoping we can find sandals this time of year too! We still have some shopping to do at Walmart for all the toiletries and misc. stuff. I hear they don't have a Super Target or Walmart in West Africa, haha so I guess what he takes is what he'll have! 
Ahhh so much to do!  Farewell is 2 weeks from Sunday!

So fun! One more thing crossed off your list! I'm so glad you got pictures! I thought Shelby said you didn't have your camera.
