I'm So excited to hear that our SRs are in an advanced division this is so great! for those of you that i have not met yet my name is kimberly and my bf is in this division!..i would LOVE to do the ribbon thing also so please please keep me updated on that

 

Hello...ladies! I received mail today! YAY! I live in Texas so yours should be coming too!

I got two letters today, too!  My daughter is sick (in SIQ); she is so hoping this doesn't delay her again and effects her physical requirements.  Hope we can get a call by next week; I have so much to ask her.....

Yay. I recieved a letter today aswell.

congrats on your letters ladies! im so happy for you! and i am sorry your daughter is sick shermur... I'll keep her in my prayers! Also ill try to have lala (the one who does the ribbons) put a post in the group.

kimberly welcome to the group!  glad to have another girlfriend along for the journey!

Hi everyone!!!  My son is in this division also.  Got my first letter from him yesterday!!  His letter was dated Mar 4th and by the sounds of it...he still hasnt received my letter sent to him on Feb 29th.  He said it's not terrible there but is looking forward to getting it over with.  Food is good but not as good as mine :) My husband and I will be making the journey to Chicago for the April 13th PIR

Well...everyone that is on FB/US RTC forum..please try and win the Trivia Tuesday so we can see a picture of our division!

Well, division 121 called home this evening? I didn't get to hear from Ash...kind of wonderment of why I didn't hear from her and really missing her....(sniffle, sniffle).  Of course, I guess she could have called someone else...who knows...

Well, the call that everyone else got last week, I got to receive this evening (5 minutes). She explained she was on watch that evening and didn't get opportunity to call when everyone else did....so great to hear her voice.  Her voice broke a little bit, but she didn't want to waste time crying and just talked.  She's begging for stamps and envelopes; she stated that my letters brighten her day and to write as often as possible.  I also receive three letters from her today!!!! It's been a great day!

My boyfriend's in ship12 div 121 as well. I got a phone call from him today and it was great to hear his voice, unfortunately it was a very short one, only 2 minutes. They got in trouble today, so thier phone calls were cut very short. Accourding to my boyfriend, who's in his early thirties, this division is very "immature" and a lot of these "kids" are treating this experience like "summer camp".  Hopefully in the next month they will all pull through. I pray for him everyday and can't wait for PIR!

Thanks for the update, NaomiNadine...I thought this division was supposed to be an advanced one....I'm just disappointed I didn't get to hear from my daughter....

My boyfriend called his parents today but both his calls never got through:( I also heard that they have they hardest RDCs so hopefully they will kick them all into gear and they can get over the immaturity. I'm so sorry Audra that you didn't get to talk to your daughter! Hang in there, maybe they might earn another call? I also heard they may start getting to write tues./thurs. Now too? Congrats to all those who got calls today so happy for you even though they were short!
