Getting an Early Start on the Homecoming Talk

During the first couple of months of my mission, I was always mentally compiling stuff for my homecoming talk. Every new experience, trial, or setback I would set aside as a possible anecdote for the world's greatest homecoming talk. Fortunately, I eventually forgot myself and focused on the work instead of impressing the folks back home and I didn't give my homecoming talk another thought until the Saturday night before I was scheduled to share it.

Needless to say, today's strip is based on my experience early in my mission.
