We’ve only been home from our mission for a few months, but it’s already time for a reunion! Our mission leaders, the Merritts, finished their three-year service in June, and it’s traditional for mission leaders to host a reunion in October. We were excited to see our friends from San Diego again.
There were at least two hundred ex-missionaries there. It was awesome to see so many of them. Here’s a group photo:
In addition to the young ones, there were plenty of senior missionaries in attendance as well. Although the Merritts had planned a number of activities for the group, it didn’t surprise me at all to see that everyone just wanted to hang out and catch up.
Almost all of the original Valley Gang have finished their missions. We met up with the Calexico District, who we spent a lot of time with last July. They’re still just as awesome, although now they’re all in college!
Yeah, it felt a little odd to have a reunion so soon after ending our mission, but it was a blast. We’re excited for another one in the coming years…
