I got a bit of a motivation boost last night since I ended up sitting next to a guy coming home from his mission in Brazil and this was his last flight after like 24 hours of jumping from plane to plane and missing a few flights due to delays on one flight screwing up everything else.
It was super fun because we just talked about missions the whole time and turns out he lives in AF and went to school with Liz and recognized her once I showed him a picture of her.
So I was pumped, albeit mad nervous, when it came to giving my homecoming talk today. But man, it ended up going okay. I told a pun and people laughed and I talked about the gospel and met all the people that my cousins had married/gotten engaged to whilst I was gone.
I got to see Rachael and Mary and Kennadee and Emily and it was so so good to be together again. It's been about two years. And technically Megan is still serving in Panama so until she comes home it won't be a full reunion.
My extended family had a Christmas party tonight and we all sat around and sang Christmas songs together and it struck me how picturesque it all was and that I'm honestly so lucky to have these people and these traditions.
I'm just thankful all around. (Oh yeah and also President and Sister Christensen showed up to my homecoming so that was flipping awesome!!)
