2605 Miles*

If you don't already know, my Elder is now in Samoa, now serving the people God called him to serve, and now 2,605 miles away <3

Being busy with work has been good because its somewhat replaced that emptiness that I have been feeling. It lets me get my mind off of distance & time-so its been so far so good:) Before, I never used to believe people when they said that things would get easier, because those who know me, know that I am a drama queen when it comes to stuff like this. Lol I dont deal well with people leaving, I think thats a major weakness of mine. But thank goodness for work right!

When I find myself worrying, the spirit finds its way to me to comfort me and let me know that everything is okay or that it will be <3 Yes, its true, the first month is really the hardest and then it really does get easier :') Of course you're going to have those days where all you want to do is eat ice cream all day and look at photos of you guys together while listening to A Thousand Years By. Christina Perri Lol And that is totally fine <3 I feel like we all need a good cry once in a while <3

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you somewhat get used to him being away and not in any bad way but you just get used to missing him <3 You learn how to cope with the distance and you learn how to be patient, which I feel is such a huge thing to be. If it wasnt for my Heavenly Father, I wouldnt have Elder Fitisemanu in the first place, and all He asks of me is 2 years to be patient for the Eternal Companion my Heavenly Father is trying to shape him to be, for me :')  <3

I know that things will get easier, because it already has. And I know that if I continue to stay patient, focused and faithful, that the blessings will be sweet <3 Now that I look at it, 2,605 Miles doesnt seem so far apart after all <3 :')
