McKay has become very close with a family in Columbus named the Pesce's. Sister Pesce has been battling cancer for quite some time and it has now returned for a fourth time. There isn't very much that the doctor's can do for her and they are telling her that her time is short. This has been a difficult experience for McKay to watch and he talked about it in his last letter.
"......she is just the coolest lady, next to the Dre of course, but she is just amazing. She is like my Mom on my mission because she is always telling me what to do and about life and marriage and all this stuff. Every night when I am praying, I get to the point where I am praying for her and I start to cry. I wish I could take on some of her pains and just let her sleep good for one night and feel good for just one day. I want to help her and she says that I do, but I want to do more than just clean her car and things like that - I am struggling with it right now.
.....We are playing dodge ball today and we are taking some of the youth with us, it should be fun. I am sending some pictures of our dodge ball team, we are really sick!
Paul is getting baptized this weekend and I will be baptizing him. I am really stoked for that and I want to feel extra worthy and in tune so I have been focusing on that.
Someone tried to break into our house last night through the roof and someone stole a bunch of money from Vic, the guy who owns the furniture store we live in, so we are going to start carrying knives with us ( ha ha ha, just kidding don't freak out Mom). But I have to go. I love you guys very much. I got the pictures of Clayton. I love you all and thanks for everything.

McKay is so awesome...I started to get teary eyed as I read about his feelings about the woman with cancer. I think that he has grown up so much and this woman has been such an inspiration and testimony builder for him.
