It Takes Commitment While Waiting

I learnt a lot throughout the time while I was waiting for a Elder. A Elder who I used to be friends with. I'm very grateful for friends and some other girls who asked what happened between me and him when he got home. Girls, I knew it wouldn't work out since 1 week after he reached 7 months mark. I stayed in the groups until he comes home, so I can tell you all how things go between me and him.

I sent him a Facebook Message to mention "Welcome Home." He sent me a reply about a few days later and I refused to open the whole message. It took me a few weeks to gain confidence to open the whole message. When I opened the whole message, I didn't cry or get upset while reading.

Girls, I'm alright and I didn't feel hurt. I was a girl who was immature while waiting and thought things will work out somehow. Don't expect things will work out because you might get upset if it doesn't work out.

I would like to share with you all a few things that I have learnt. 

I learnt that you need to be fully committed while waiting: 
If your Missionary doesn't know that you are waiting for him, let him know for the next email to him.

If you are going to wait for him and he doesn't know, keep it a surprise. Don't make it noticeable and don't be apart of the groups. There is a lot of things that you could use your time wisely while waiting.

I learnt to be careful about what to say through emails and letters: 
Your Missionary doesn't need to know all of your down's moments each week. You could share those down's moments through letters or just write all the down's moments in a journal and don't share it until he comes home.

Always share positive and uplifting moments. It could be sharing your experience at the Temple or your experience of Missionary Work during the week.

I learnt don't mention your Elder's first name:
It's because if you do that, there can be some girls will guess his email straight away and email him. I know one of the girls guessed the Elder's email who I was waiting for and she probably emailed him during the mission.

Continue waiting if it meant to be:
Girls, I encourage you to continue waiting if you know it meant to be for you and your Missionary to be together after the mission. Know it for yourself!!

You can message me anytime girls, and I probably wouldn't be posting much anymore but I would like to try my best and continue posting positive and motivational blog posts often.
Stay Tuned.

    1. I know because she Facebook messaged that she said that she will email him and she didn't tell me what it was about either.
