Missionary Girlfriends

[skippy740]

My girlfriend waited for me and we married soon after my mission was completed.

Yes, my mission president ALSO said that she wouldn't wait for me. Yes, he wanted me to focus... but if you knew me, you'd know that I was already focused.

For all missionaries, I'll quote "Best Two Years": Your girlfriend won't wait for you. Your wife will.

In your letters, share testimony and church stories. Your missionary should be writing about his experiences, NOT how much he misses you. That's okay for a signature close, but not for an entire letter. He should write about what he's learning, his companions, his triumphs and struggles. Keep your letters talking about his mission and you'll grow together while you're apart.

If they're more "lovey-dovey" then they'll quickly get boring and you will probably move on to someone else... who is more interesting!

My sister met her husband on her mission. They were both missionaries. He was her Zone leader and eventually became an assistant to the President.

They both came home. Kept in touch as they did with many of their former companions etc that were from the same area.

They realized during some of their get togethers that they REALLY REALLY liked each other.

Well they just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and have 3 awesome kids.

That's great!I'm so happy for you...I'm going through some tough times waiting for my missionary and I didn't expect it being as hard as it's been just this past week.
Anyways,my missionary is going to Samara, Russia and we have a mutual friend serving his mission in Moscow: Elder Larsen from Danville, CA.
Ask your missionary about him for me!!!Hopefully they have met!
Best Wishes,
Heike.
