I just got a letter from my SR, he missed the calls on Tuesday because he had watch.....bummer! He had mentioned that they had to earn the calls in his last letters so I was assuming that things weren't going too well but I was wrong, he sounds great. I'm so excited for PIR.

I got two letters one yesterday one today although the one today was written at an earlier date lol. He said that the call last week was the last free call and any calls after that they have to earn them. He also said the division is doing good and that they were doing good last week during hell week. I can't wait ladies, the letter he sent yesterday he also included a prayer from him to me. There is such maturity that comes through the letter. He is the oldest of five and has found time to write a small but meaningful note to his siblings, well not all at once but throughout the last few weeks they have all gotten one.
Time for me is going by fast yet slow I hope we get to hear from them soon.
