Hello!

[bestrong]

I am a member if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and proud of it :) the reason I joined this site was because I am curios what to do about my missionary I am writing. What are the dos and donts of being a missionary girlfriend? Things I should talk to him about and things that should wait till after the mission? Serios answers are much appreciated, I have been praying to know what to do and the Lord led me here. Thanks to all who answer :)

I don't know what kind of guidelines may have been given on this matter, but if I were writing to a missionary boyfriend, I would want to write positive and encouraging things about his work in the mission field and I would be interested in asking him questions and talking about his work and about the area he's serving in.

I would likely include things about my own callings and such, things pertaining to my spiritual endeavors and growth. But I would want to avoid writing things that might encourage homesickness and would not want to write things that would cause him to miss me in a personal romantic sense. Anything that could pull his mind and heart away from the work I would want to avoid.

When one cares for someone it's natural to miss them and want to express those emotions. It's also easy to feel discouraged at times when they're not there for you, or can't be, so I would try to keep my emotions in check when writing to a missionary boyfriend. I would endeavor to keep things positive and in the present.

I am not sure I would regard myself as a missionaries girlfriend for starters. :) Right now he has no room in his life for anything outside the church.

Your idea on the letters to him being of support for his mission sound right on the mark. :)
