I remember walking up to the theater, I was so nervous... My hands were sweating (but i guess they always do) and thinking Wow she looks great. I can still see you standing there looking like you had butterflies. I know that what we have, our love for each other is real.... I truly do love you, you are my girl. We fit perfectly together. I love that you have helped me to gain a greater testimony of the temple, families, and the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. And you have helped me to feel my Saviors love because of your love for be. Being as imperfect and in need of improvement as I am. No one should love me as much a as you do. Yet I know that you do anyways. And I am forever grateful for that. And I know that you are shaking your head and rolling your eyes right now.... I know that our love will last. Two years really will go by fast. Let's try not to think too much about time though because it will go slower if we do. I love you with all my heart, with everything that I am. And that love will only grow .
With love, and forever yours,
Elder Broadbent
He is such a sweetheart. I cant believe that he started talking about our first date. I had no idea that he still thinks about our first date. I am so proud of him and his service. Right now he is having a hard time out in the mission, he doesnt feel like he is making a difference, and all of his appointments are falling through. He is always an optimist, and in his letter, he was telling me what he thinks is hard, and yet he is still being an optimist. He is still able to have a good outlook on life. I know that he is making a difference even if he cant see it. He is an amazing missionary and is going to make an even better husband. He isnt even here right now, and he still knows exactly how to make me feel better. I am so glad that he is still thinking of me, and loves me. I know that he loves me with all his heart, and I love him the same way. I guess that is the end of my rant about my amazing boy out in the mission field. I know that he is mine and I am his forever and always.
Not only is he amazing, but his family is as well. I spent Halloween with his family and it was amazing. I spent about an hour just talking to his parents. Then when his little brother got home from trick or treating we just sat there and watched Monster's University together. (On a side note, Love this movie it is so cute. Me and Josh saw it together before he left. I fell asleep in his arms when we watched it. So i was trying to not be emotional when I watched it this time) The movie was hilarious, and it was fun to just watch it with his family. They act so much like him, and make me feel just as loved as if Josh was still here. Especially his dad's hugs. Which I get any time that he sees me.. So basically once a week. :) I even brought them cookies. ( I was dressed as little red hiding hood, and since they were the only people i went and saw on Halloween they got all the treats for grandma.) :)
Since someone cough cough my aunt said that there was too much love letters I decided to share the rest of Elder Broadbent's letter to me really helps me to know how great a missionary he is becoming.
We have quite a few investigators, who we try to contact regularly. We've already gotten 4 new investigators since I've been here, which for this area is really good. The only problem is that when we schedule appointments with them it's more of like a time that they think might be available if they arent doing anything else. A lot of the time it's really hit and miss, but when we do have lessons they are so powerful. We had a lesson with a former investigator named Allen. It was so spiritual. In the past he has been really sketchy and difficult to teach, but the lesson was so good. He said he got goose bumps and knows everything is true, ans he realized that he needs to make the next step and be baptized, which was awesome. So we are going to work with him.
I know that he is having a hard time, and all missionaries go through hard times, but he is making the most out of it. He is doing God's work, and in the end that's all that matters. He is following the Lord's plan and trying to hasten the work of Salvation. I am so proud of my missionary and know that he is and will bless the lives of those around him. Now everyone knows that there is more than all that lovey dovey stuff in the letters I receive. He is growing his faith, love, and testimony of the Gospel. He is doing God's will, and he is loving every minute of it.
