Surprise! Bet you didn't see this one coming! ;)


Since I knew I'd be doing a whole lot in my last week as a missionary, I figured it'd be a shame not to let you all in on the adventure! 

On Friday, President took all of the missionaries who are leaving to the temple to do sealings! It was quite the experience. We spent a lot of time reflecting on everything we've been through these last two years, and President shared a few thoughts with us about some of the important things to come. It was a special moment, and a nice way to round out our time here.

On Saturday, we had a Baptism! One last one before I hit the road. And pretty much the best way one can expect to finish their mission, to be honest. Plus, we had some carne asada afterwards, which was great. 

And lastly, I spent most of today cleaning, packing, and saying goodbye to members and old companions/friends here in the mission. To be completely honest, it's still hard to wrap my head around the fact that I won't be here anymore after tomorrow. I'll miss this place, that's for sure. 

Anyway, just thought I'd like to share some last minute thoughts. See you all (very) soon!
