CHAPTER ONE: Before the Mission
I am about 4 months into having my missionary on his mission and I've seen a lot of posts on Instagram and Pinterest of girls who have blogs for their boyfriends who are on missions so I decided that this could be a fun experience just to make a little blog to share my experiences and ideas of things to send to missionaries, and hey, who knows, maybe my elder will read it when he comes home! I have been having so much fun thinking of ideas of letters and different pictures and crafts to send my Elder, and can I just say, it has been such a great experience so far. It has been very hard so far, but I know that he's where he needs to be, and that's all that really matters!
Before I begin this blog, here's a little background information:
My missionary and I had been dating for almost a year before he left on his mission, and can I just say, that was the best year of my life. We met in High School through theater. I was in a drama competition and he saw me performing one of my pieces, and he told me later that in that moment he knew then that I was something else. That same year, our school was doing the musical Grease and the director had asked my missionary to be an Assistant Director for her, which, he accepted. Our director then asked him to find another student to be an assistant director with him, and I was the first name that came to his mind. We became the best of friends assistant-directing that show together. Throughout the rest of the year, we spent a lot of time together, and during a One Act competition, he held my hand for the first time and we really hit it off from there. At the end of the school year, during the traditional Act One Club Banquet, I looked over at him and he looked at me and I just remember that in that moment I knew how much I cared about him. In the May of 2012 he told me that he cared about me and we've been officially dating ever since. I know he's the one for me, and when you know it's right, nothing else matters. Distance and waiting doesn't mean a thing to two hearts in love. And I know that my mish is worth the wait.
But anyway, enough of that mushy-mush stuff for now. Now a little about my elder's mission. My elder is in New York as of right now, he's waiting on a visa to go to Argentina, which, will be very cool! But for now, he is happy in New York, but I think he's ready to use his Spanish skills on some of the good people of Argentina!
I hope you enjoy this blog and the ideas and crafts and experiences that I'll accumulate throughout his mission. Here goes nothing!
