"We just got a letter, we just got a letter!
We just got a letter, wonder who it's from!"
How sweet the simplest letter is. I haven't gotten one for almost 2 WEEKS so I was pretty psyched when I got one today. I also got to talk to him for a little bit on email which is awesome. I love being able to talk to him even if it's for 10 minutes at a time.
Elder Woodland is doing well. He's had a few major lows within the last little bit (and so have I) so it's really good to know that he's back on track and doing much better. But...he told me about an unfortunate thing that happened while he was playing basketball on Pday on Monday. He was playing basketball with some other missionaries and somehow got a black eye, a chipped tooth, a major headache (since MONDAY), and a possible concussion. Brandon tells me not to worry but I can't help but worrying. I told him to go get it checked out and, as most guys would say, he told me to not worry and the oh-so original "I'll be fine" line. UGH.
Through the past little bit, I've discovered (or rediscovered actually) how amazing the power of prayer and scripture study is. My days go by so much more quickly and they are generally better than if I wouldn't have done those things. I can tell that I'm growing on the inside and I know that Brandon is too. We're growing together and that's all I want for both of us right now. That's all we can do without seeing each other to make our relationship that much stronger.
He sent me a little kid bracelet shaped like a heart but it cracked on it's way up here. :( Sad face. He sent me me a sticker with Batman on it that says "see you next time!" to add to my little collection that he's already given me. I'm sure he got it from the doctor...and the Cars and Transformers stickers on the back of the envelope. He's such a dork. He also sent me a card with fall/Thanksgiving stickers that says I <3 U. Gosh freakin dang. I LOVE his quirky little things that he uses to tell me how much he loves me. :) He also had a song quote on the back that I really like.
