As Chris's best friend and girlfriend I see myself as a soft place for him to land and a rock when he needs support. When he was going through the process of filling out his papers/before he got his call he would kinda get flustered at points and was wondering if this was the right decision. In the back of his mind he always knew it was the right choice, he just had to be reminded. Which is where my role comes in to help him remembe. The night he knelt down and seriously prayed for the first time about serving a mission, the strong unmistakeable feeling of peace, and where he felt sure, through the spirit, a mission was the completely right thing to do with his life.
I guess where I am going with this is as his girlfriend I want to make him feel confident with the choice he made, not trying and make him apprehensive. Right now he needs to be focusing on himself, and the Lord and I need to be right behind Chris making sure he is putting his efforts in the right place and not trying to focus on me, because thats not the way it's supposedly to be. I think every missionary girlfriend should try and be that way too.
I know the choice Chris made is perfect and I am so excited to see Heavenly Father work through him, and see the change from boy to man! And I'm looking forward to hearing all the missionary stories he has to share with me over the next two years.
