Across the World It Came

Yes. Yes. It happened. And I'm so happy about it, I can still scarcely believe it. My letter finally got here! After two weeks of not hearing Trevor, of being ever so "patient," and having slight meltdowns and picking myself back up again by telling myself "it's coming, it's coming," it finally got here from the other side of the world.

I arrived home late Monday afternoon to see a box and a fedex envelope waiting for me. I knew what the box was because unfortunately, over the break, the screen of my Acer laptop completely cracked. It was a traumatizing event that made me so angry I just got online an bought myself a beautiful HP pavilion despite lack of funds. This was the second major issue I had with my Acer laptop's screen and they didn't cover cracks in my warranty. Seeing as that computer was less than a year old, I was sick of dealing with it thus Acer and mine's relationship is over forever.

Anyway, I stared at the envelope, not daring to get my hopes after the 14+ days of waiting. I opened it. And well...let's just say that his letter might as well have been laced with speed and ecstasy because there was screaming, shrieking, jumping, and fist jumping in pure joy and excitement. My first letter from India had made its way to me. There are not enough words to describe how happy and appreciate I am to have received my letter. It came at a time when I definitely could use a pick me up and Trevor, being the wonderful person he is, wrote exactly what I needed to hear/technically read.

And Trevor is doing great. He's happy, healthy and as sweet as ever. I'm lucky to have such a thoughtful boy in my life. His companion is really helping him adapting and is sensitive to his foreign needs so I'm very grateful to Elder Challadurai for taking good care of him. They have baptisms scheduled every Sunday next month. I'm amazed at the maturity and growth that I can already see taking place. It is truly profound how the Lord's work can affect us. And of course, he loves the Indian branch of McDonald's:
