I'm Expecting A Letter
Never before in my life have I actually been excited when I check the mail.Every time I drive by my mail box, I think...maybe I got a letter today?I never expected that I would WANT to check the mail every day.It's kind of a new & surreal feeling.Maybe that's what my mom was talking about.When I asked my mom whether I should write a missionary, she said, "Write all those boys you went to school with" She said the names of a couple of boys I knew and I immediately dismissed them. Why would I write them? They were never really friends with me. Also, mom?! What?! Why would I write THOSE boys. You're ridiculous.I think what my mom was trying to convey to me was that it's not really about the missionary you write, but about the feeling you get when you receive a letter and vis versa.I'm sure those boys that I write to get just as excited as I get when they receive a letter.Writing a missionary isn't complicated.It's all about making someone's day.And why wouldn't I want to do that?
Way to be committed, and so not like me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for a letter too. Only, not from a missionary, yet. I freak out every time the mailman comes, and when I actually talk to the person I wrote first.
i remember this feeling! it's been a few years since i've written missionaries lately but when i was fresh out of high school i LIVED for those letters! it's the greatest feeling in the world...treasure it!

Agreed! :] I love getting letters and sending them. I do need to be better about writing real letters to my friends though. I am pretty good at emailing but I need to get more handwritten letters sent out!
ReplyDeleteCute! I've learned to always listen to my mama! She's usually right 98% of the time!
