Letters(:

“In every letter, in every line, she saw him. He hadn't changed - he'd only grown into the man he'd meant to be.” 
― Diana Peterfreund

Ok, so as you all have probably figured out... Letters are the most amazing and exciting, things ever! Every time I receive a letter from him my heart skips a beat and it's automatically the highlight of my week. Every word that he writes, I cherish. It's such a comfort to know that he is doing well, and that even though he is so lost in the work for the Lord, he still loves and cares about me. Letters are sweet reminders for me. They remind me why being away from him and waiting for him is worth it. They remind me that even though he is far away from me, he is still there for me.

They remind me of why I love him.

Ok so updates...
The MTC is wonderful, and he is loving it! The experience of being able to learn a language so quickly  is amazing for him. It is a humbling experience to feel the Lord's hand working so strongly in your life. He recently received a care package from me which had a lot of his favorite snacks/treats, a blue with black striped tie, a journal with quotes that i wrote inside of the pages, sticky notes with reasons why I appreciate him and am proud of him, a photo album with pictures of us, me, and his family, and a handwritten letter. :) In his most recent letter he thanked me profusely and told me how much he loved it. I learned that food makes you one of the most envied yet loved missionaries ever! Hahaha, it feels like I sent enough to feed an army, so i'm sure with his big loving heart, he'll share. ;) He told me he showed his companions my picture, aw how sweet and flattering! Everything is going well at the Provo MTC, but he will soon be leaving on the 18th to the Lima MTC! How exciting! :) More super amazing experiences to come. I can't wait to hear about them!

I am so thankful for the communication we are able to have through letter writing. :) It's truly a blessing and I will never take it for granted! Write hand-written letters and send pictures!  Keep him updated on your life and remind him that he has support back home, and that he is doing an honorable and selfless thing! These things are meaningful and something for missionaries to treasure. :)

Keep loving, keep writing!
