McKay's Homecoming!
The chapel was packed with family and friends. It was full.

McKay did an A M A Z I N G job! It was one of the best homecoming talks I have heard. Man, he is so grown up and speaks so articulately. He was funny, interesting, spiritual, cute, and just did a great job. I was so proud of him. And hearing him speak in Russian always gives me chills. I have no idea how he ever learned that language. He is such a fun and cute kid. I had so many people come up and tell me how good looking he is and how he has truly become a man. I couldn't have been more proud of him. It was so fun to talk to all the people that came to hear him speak. The Connolly's, the Parsons, several missionary moms who boys are serving in Russia (now in the US). And several of his Russian companions. Elder Brower (MTC comp), Elder Lyman (trainer), Elder Bodily (from our city), Elder Crabbe (comp), Elder Parry (just assigned as very last comp when learned they were dissolving the mission), and Sister....I forgot her name.
I told them to do a serious pose for Elder De Sandre (still in Russia) but McKay and Elder Lyman could NOT keep a straight face for even a second. These guys sure do have a lot of fun together. They were talking for almost an hour after the meeting. It did my heart good. I tried to get them to come over even though McKay had to stay for the block, but they didn't. They were so fun to watch. McKay was laughing so hard. He loves them and they love him.
