Today was somewhat hard because I had the phone call yesterday, and I guess I'm experiencing the post phone call. I woke up sick this morning, and all day I've just felt, bleh. Also, knowing that I won't be getting a letter for a couple weeks doesn't help either. So here's the awesome part, my mom came in and told me there was letter from Preston in the mailbox! I thought she was joking. I received my last letter from Preston on Friday because Wednesday was his last Pday in the MTC. So how could I have another letter? But there it was!
He said he wrote this yesterday! He sent it out right before they got on the bus to go to the airport. He wasn't supposed to be writing that day, but he said he decided he must. I also love that he included the "kisses" For some reason it felt like a "P.S. I love You" moment :) I loved when he said,
"I really just want to tell you that I love you and that you mean the entire world to me! You have been the greatest blessing in my life! Honestly. You really have changed my life for the better"
and..
"So, right now (when you're reading this), which is probably Tuesday or Wednesday, I am halfway around the world! So we may not be close physically. We almost couldn't be any further away from each other. But at the same time, I feel right next to you. I'm always thinking about you and looking back at our memories. I hope that I can always keep you close mentally and emotionally. So that one day, we can be close to each other again physically. All you have to do........ is wait :)"
I swear that sometimes our missionaries are prompted to say certain things. I'm just so happy :)

ReplyDeleteStumbled across your website on the internet and thought I'd let you know that you should blur out your full name and address from the envelope in the first picture, and be more careful in the future about posting personally identifiable information like that.
