Homecoming!!!!

So, Jacob comes home in just a few days!!!  He is scheduled to land at the SLC airport on January 8th.

His homecoming is on January 12th.  Our meeting block begins at 1:00 pm; Sacrament Meeting begins at 2:50 pm; location is approximately 10000 South (Sego Lily Drive) and 2100 East.  There will also be a mission farewell that day, so I would arrive early.

Dearest Family,
This is going to be a shorter email, but don't worry too much. I will see you all in about a week. In fact, this will probably be my last email. There is a chance that I will have time next Monday, but well see. Next week is going to be crazy! I am really excited, but it still feels pretty weird. It's weird to think that my mission is just about over. It seems like forever, but it's gone a lot faster than I thought. I'm going to try to make the most out of this last week, but it's getting hard to contain the excitement and the emotions. A lot of change is coming for me. But I think it will be great!
Anyways, we had a great week last week, and a wonderful Christmas. I think Elder Blood was just fine. He is still getting packages. SOOOOO spoiled. We ate a lot of food too. lots of tamales and menudo. Yummy. Also, I'll probably have to send one more package this week. It will be even heavier, so I hope it makes it. haha well, I better get going now, but I'll be seeing you soon! love ya! -Elder Hatch

Merry Christmas family! Well, I'm going to keep this real short, because I'll be talking to you tomorrow! I'm so excited! But I did want to let you know that I got your package and I finally got Miranda's letter too! guess it just took a while for it to get here. I am very excited for Christmas though. For most people here, Christmas Eve is actually the bigger day, so we have a lot of plans for today and tomorrow. Speaking of plans, we got a place to Skype, so I'm hoping to call Sometime between 10-11 in the morning. I'm so excited! Well, I better get going, but I'll see you tomorrow! Merry Christmas! -Elder Hatch
PS Make sure to tell the Ruppers I really, really loved their package! The book is amazing, and I've already read the whole thing! I've shared some of the stories with my investigators too. Awesome. Thank you so much!
