In my letters that I recieved yesterday, my SR said they flagged for the written test they took the other day. So Im assuming that was the fourth flag?
I can also see my boyfriend singing and dancing while folding clothes, he use to sing to me while doing his laundry and sometimes threw in that dancing. Lol

I am so glad that we can talk like this it really helps--only draw back is when you hear other mom's or girlfriends get letters and you don't, but I would rather have the friendship between us than to loose it--if you know what I mean?? Sorry, I am getting a little anxious over this, but will be fine once I am in the same city as him...thank you again

I totally understand what you're saying, you ARE NOT the only one who feels this way. Lol The girlfriend of my SR's buddy actually lives 30 minutes from me and she recieved mail one weekend and I didnt. I was so upset but she comforted me and made me feel better as we have become best friends and its definitely a blessing! So I know exactly how you feel and we're all here to help each other and lift each other up!!

I also have to realize that he writes to others as well, not just me sooooo, that makes sense to me..after all they need to be studying and everything, making new friends..I keep on checking throughout the day and night of any new news--guess almost obsessed with this, but that is ok, I love it--an you are so right about lifting each other up as well, they do for each other and we should too, since we have the tools...

My husband reports that they are now carrying all their flags... not sure what that means but I think we can assume they have well over 4 at this point! Hard to believe the 25th is getting closer and closer! :)

My husband also has been singing in church and says most of the division went this past Sunday just to hear him sing! He's a talented one. :)
