Girls I know how you guys all feel right now. My missionary has almost been gone for 11 months and everyone still trys to tell me not to wait or 2 years is a long time. Its hard when your family is telling you this but keep your heads up and remember why you are waiting. I know the 2 years will go by fast. Its almost been a year for me and its gone by so fast.
My missionary has been my best friend since I was 15 but we didn't start dating til just before I turned 18. I know it is hard and you never know if it will work out but even if it doesn't it will be worth it. You will have grown so much from this. I know I have already grown so much because of it.
