B21 you can message diannep through email when the time is close and she is usually right about the day. That is a long ways away though. Do not get discouraged some of us do not get the mail as quick as others because we live further away and I am almost sure you will get a call soon from your SR. Keep the faith:)

My son called a little while ago. He talked for about 20 minutes. He said the RDC last week in div 430 forgot to send the letters out so they will be sending them out today. He said the division is a push division and they are doing great:) he said they might be able to call again next weekend. At least he is hoping so. So keep phones close and we should be getting letters soon:)

I got my weekly letter today. I was so disappointed yesterday that it didn't come but then I remembered that Monday was a holiday. The letter was pretty short. He said they were really busy and are going thru Hell week this week but their division is doing really well. (429) I am counting down the days. I thought it would get easier but it just seems to be getting harder. I'm missing him so much. He's my only child so I think I'm going thru the Empty Nest Syndrom.
