"When suffering we may in fact be nearer to God than we've ever been in our entire lives. That knowledge can turn every such situation into a would-be temple. Regarding our earthly journey, the Lord has promised, 'I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up' (D&C 84:88). That is an everlasting declaration of God's love and care for us, including - and perhaps especially - in times of trouble." - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland"
"I'm almost finished with the New Testament. When I finish, I will have read the whole quad in less than a year!"
"We also need to go to Institute together!"
"I don't know if I'm allowed to hug you yet... I'll probably ask my mission president in my exit interview, so I don't think you'll know until I see you at the airport! Please don't be too disappointed if I can't! Just remember, I'm hugging you in spirit!"
"I have 1 more letter to write you!"
Oh the hug. Hahaha, I have no expectation for him hugging me. I never have. Brady has never been the kind to break rules. He follows them strictly. But I still just rrrreeeeaaallllyyy hope that he will ;) If not, I can wait till the next day. I love that he shared one of my favorite quotes from Holland, who happens to be my favorite Apostle.
Only 1 more mailbox run next week, and he'll be home.. :)
