Hola a todos! Happy New Year! This is so crazy. I have been in Arizona for a full year now. It has been quite the adventure learning and growing and meeting new friends along the way. I enjoyed spending New Years building a Lego set I bought at a service project the day before. This service project was at the Saint Vincent De Paul thrift store. This store is like any other regular thrift store. We helped move furniture and fridges to those who had bought them. I especially enjoyed putting in order the bed frames they were selling. Every time I leave this place, I feel 3x better than when I first came.

We also spent some time with some families teaching and sharing the joy we receive each day as we serve God. This is going to be a great year because it is the year I finish my mission experience! All these lessons I have learned will be applied to my life after my mission.

As each of us begins this New Year of 2023, let’s remember the importance of new beginnings and the opportunity we have to evaluate our lives and seek ways to increase our happiness. Hopefully, serving the less fortunate will be high on your list this year.

Thank you all of you for your love and support shown to me each day. I pray for each and every one of you and am honored to be carrying the Baldwin name. I am excited for what these next months will bring. Love you all and talk soon! ❤️ ✌️ 😎
