Hey guys!

I was just thinking the same thing about how quickly this year passed by. While I was taking down the old calendar and putting up the new one, I got to thinking that I had gotten that calendar right before the beginning of the last year and I am now putting it in my suitcase as a recuerdo for after the mission. That is crazy to think about to me that an entire year is now over. Shoot crazy. I was thinking of all of the crazy changes that took place this year in me as a person and as a missionary and it is crazy to look at and notice all of the differences.

This was for sure one of the hardest, if not the hardest years of my whole life but I learned so much that it is just ridiculous. I loved it.

Haha, back in the day (and probably after the mission as well) I thought that 5AM was so extremely early and it´s definitely not late but here on the mission, for example when I was in Huehuetenango, I had to wake up at 4:30AM regularly to go to Xela for leadership meetings that we had to be at at 8:30 in the mission home. I hope that I always keep the habit of waking up early-ish...

And the fotos from last week were all taken for the Christmas Conference of my missionary friends. That was a really fun conference

And that is cool that everyone just chillaxed in the house this last week. And hey! If you guys went to the Olympic training center, that means that you guys passed my old job at that nursing home! Pretty crazy.

Here, apparently, there were a lot of fireworks for the año nuevo but I am a really, really heavy sleeper and I didn´t wake up for anything. My comp did wake up though and he said that it was pretty crazy to watch all of the fireworks going off. But I am pretty tired these days. I actually slept through a pretty violent earthquake the other day too. But what are ya gonna do right? I am going to count it as a blessing and call it good. J

And I talked with President on Wednesday and he just said that as far as going home early that it is completely my choice and that he will support me in whatever I decide. So we´ll see how that goes. I am going to start thinking about it. A possible, but scary and kind of risky, option is just coming home on time and starting school a week late because they don´t really do anything the first week anyway and, that way, I could just come home on time. But that is extremely scary because that could mess up my whole semester even though I feel that I could handle it and manage it so that it wouldn´t really make an impact at all. Another thing that I could do is that I could come home 2 weeks early, run around for a couple days trying to get myself ready for BYU and then start on time or I could come home 3 weeks early, chill out and then go to college not completely stressed out. 4 weeks early, I feel, is out of the question. So those are the options. I am going to pray about it and see if I get any specific revelation about it (I sure hope that I do, though because sometimes God just let’s us decide things without pushing us towards any particular thing because he trusts us or something). So we will see how that goes. Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated and strongly considered but please do not be offended if I do not take your advice.

And I did find some pretty good investigators this week but I don´t have time to talk about them right now. So I will tell you guys about them later. :)

And I still haven´t gotten my package but it is probably in the office right now and I think that we are going to get pouch on Tuesday because there are going to be cambios. SPEAKING OF CAMBIOS: Neither I nor Elder Posas have changes. But I will be the District leader starting tomorrow. MY FIRST TIME AS A DISTRICT LEADER!! Crazy. J

Hey I have to go.

Love,
