Ever since I moved here from Texas, Bre'an has always been my best friend. From girl's camp, church activities, young women's, gospel doctrine, and all the many lessons we've taught together, we've been inseparable. We couldn't be more opposite. She has an angelic voice, while I stick to instruments since my voice definitely isn't one of them. I play sports every season, while she watches me from the sidelines. Despite our differences, we always had one thing in common and that was our love for the church. We always would write each other little notes or call each other to tell each other about a scripture we came across that was inspiring to one of us and knew the other would appreciate just as much. Thank gosh there is so much technology in the world today so that I can keep in touch with her as she heads out to BYU- Idaho as I stay here. It's a bummer that I have to stay here and save up money while going to community college, but the Lord is teaching me patience and I realize that he knows that waiting is just what I need to do.

"Great things come to those who wait." 

After a year staying here, I'll be heading out to BYU- Provo and shortly after that I'll be able to finally date an amazing guy that I would wait however long I need to, to be able to finally be with him. It's so refreshing to know how much he cares about his mission and how much he loves his mission that he wouldn't risk anything for it. I remember writing in my journal a while back all the qualities I wanted in a future husband and "his love for God and the gospel is number one in his life" was one that was nearer to the top of the list. You are so faithful to your mission and I hope you know how much I support that with my whole heart. If you are willing to wait, I'm willing to wait. I'll be right by your side every step of the way.
