So there's this boy...

i guess that you could call him an elder. cause that is exactly what he is right now. so a year and a month ago, i had the amazing experience of having the Lords will made known to me. even though i ignored it at first, He wasn't going to let me just pass by. so sure enough, He let me know what i had to do, which was to write this elder (a handsome young lad at that) a letter. the first letter i wrote was super awkward because i had no way of knowing if he remembered me. so i reintroduced myself. turns out he did remember me (which nearly put me on cloud 9). then came the next awkward part. avoiding the topic of "how i got his address". sweet mercy. spare me telling you that.
so we wrote, and gosh dang it was the most enjoyable experience. he is on such a spiritual high! it was totally and completely contagious. i loved writing him. i was so witty (I'm not witty on the spot. i have to have a minute or two to think of something) and he was puny. i was sarcastic, and he was spiritual, i thought of the best random, get to know you questions, and he told hilarious stories.
but all good things seem to come to an end.
and this did.
but I'm okay with it.
strangely enough.
i sent him a graduation announcement. along with a letter that summarized my life in the 3 months we hadn't written. but my mom came home from the adult session of stake conference and said a sentence or two about a talk that was given there. about missionaries following the rules 100%. as it turns out, he was breaking the rules by writing to me. i honestly don't know if he knew of these rules. anyways. i got the impression that i wasn't going to hear from him till the end of his mission. if ever again. strangely enough, i am at peace with it. normally when i think about how long it has been since I've heard from him (5 months) i feel crushed. so i am elated not to feel that awful feeling every time i think of him. its truely a blessing.
search for the Lords hand in all things. its there.
