Hey everybody! Happy New Year! 

Thus ends my only full year as a missionary, and thus begins my ability to see my return date on the calendar. A strange feeling, to be sure. Some examples, for context. Last Tuesday, we had the mission Christmas party, where I was confused, but not surprised, to not see anyone with more time in the mission than I. 

And today, I went to visit an old area of mine, along with another missionary from my generation who served there. Quite the fun time, reminiscing about old times, and catching up with some members I hadn't seen in a while. I officially have another invitation to come back and visit Mexico. Suppose it's just a matter of time. 

Also also, we had a baptism this week! There might be a few complications though, so I'll avoid mentioning much about the person until a later date. Still, baptisms are always a great experience. :) Especially since this was my companions first one in his mission! They grow up so quickly, haha. 

Anyway, just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who's stuck around to read all these emails. I hope you got a kick out of it, at the very least. ;) And who knows, maybe you even learned a thing or two. Until next week!
