last night, i had the opportunity to go watch the one and only tanner tod thornton open his mission call! my parents came with me and it was really exciting, the anticipation an all.
anyways, he got called to serve in the el salvador east mission! he reports may 18th, which is 5 days after he gets out of school, haha. i am seriously so excited for him! when he opened it and was reading it, i was surprised he didn't start crying, to be honest. i was surprised i didn't cry! ok, maybe i did on the drive home, but that doesn't count.
this is to tanner.
dear tantor, or should i say elder thornton from now on?
i can't even tell you how excited i am for you to go serve the lord all the way down in central america. you're going to be one heck of an amazing missionary! you have so much potential. i know those people in el salvador have been praying for someone like you to come into their lives.
you are an amazing young man. you're going to do great things with your life from here on out; this is only the beginning. i am so proud to say i was your girlfriend, because you are seriously one of the best kids i've ever met.
you're going to experience so much happiness on your mission! i know that i'm going to miss you a lot, but my happiness is overtaking that by a long shot. you're going to be a missionary! a missionary! for the church of jesus christ of later day saints! this is all happening! i'm so glad i got to be with you for so much of the way. i'll never forget you and all of the great times we had together.
you're still my best friend, so don't forget it, k? i am so happy for you. i love you with all my heart!
love,
A
