It has been 2 weeks yesterday that Peter left for Basic Training for the ARMY at Fort Sill, OK. he will be gone a total of about 18 weeks i think.... I am so SOOO so proud of him for wanting to serve his country and protect our little family. He is the most important part of my life and keeps me thinking all the time about all things. If you ever ask him what he is thinking about [as i do quite often] he will tell you that there are too many thoughts going through his head at any moment. i have found that the best way for him to think about one thing and one thing only is to go to the Temple. there we can focus on the spirit and the promises we made on the day that we were sealed together for Time and all Eternity. he is my rock and now it is my turn to be his rock. he needs me to be strong, so i am being strong. i am thankful for all of the support everyone has given to us and hope that this time will pass by fairly quickly. =]
so far Peter has been doing well... in the letters he sends and the phone calls i have gotten, he talks about all the missionary opportunities he has had to talk with men in his unit he really is preading the gospel as well as strengthening both of our testimonies... ill keep this up as much as i can... but i cant make any promises ill write everyday... though i will try hard... =]
my friend Sarah sent me a great "quote" or "prayer"
i`d like to share it with you...
"Dear Lord,Give me the greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding that I may know, when duty calls him he must go. Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he's away. And Lor...d, when he's in a foreign land, keep him safe in your loving hand. And Lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield. And Lord, when deployment is so long, please stay with me and keep me strong. Amen."
