My boyfriend is getting ready to leave for a mission in Africa mid April. It is hard knowing that you will be waiting for two years with no guarentee that it will work out. It makes it even harder when people try to discourage you and throw odds at you. It is comforting reading some other girls experiences on here and that they are far into the mission and still going strong. Shows me that it is possible and well worth the wait in the end. :)
My boyfriend left for his mission to Africa as well and has been at the MTC for a month now. We both know that although there is no guarantee in it working out when he finishes, it's nice to know that I am helping him in some way by supporting him in this huge part of his life. One of the biggest things that I like to keep in mind is that the relationship is between the two of you, not 2+ 584570345 other people who might tell you how to handle your relationship-not that I'm saying that seeking advice is a horrible idea, because then we wouldn't be in this forum! But, ultimately, it's up to the two of you.
I've known my boyfriend since I was five yrs old and have been steady for a little over 2 yrs now, but even still, I know there's a 50/50 chance of it not turning into a "happily ever after"-and I'm ok with that. Trust in the Lord that things will turn out as they should be, and that everything happens for a reason.
