		<description>Jman,

It may be that the "intimate relationship" you are longing for is SEX.  It is normal at your age to experience these thoughts, especially when you will be entering the cult, I mean mission.  I am new to the world of LDS, if you are denied any romantic encounters during your mission will you still at least be able to masturbate?  

Worried about your sexual health,

Me</description>

		<description>It's a remarkable thing how two people can seem so happy one with another. I have seen so many family members find their companion for time and all eternity and I wonder how incredible it is to find someone like that. I watch them and they seem so familiar one with another, as though it wasn't the first time they'd become close friends. 

I can also see how much happiness comes from two people joining in a partnership with God to take on the most incredible responsibility of their lives: to start a family. That is a big deal - and so much trust involved. That idea of being able to trust someone to such an extent is both scary and comforting. I've never felt that - don't think I've even come close - but that kind of relationship would surely be an amazing thing. 

It's a righteous desire! It is - keeping in mind that there is a time and place for all things. You'll be all the more prepared when you get back home if you keep that goal in mind (albeit somewhere towards the back, can't have distractions, now...) but I think that this development is a very good thing. 

I'm not worried about you, I'm sure you'll have an incredible distraction-free mission, and I'm excited for you, I want you to know that. I think about the work going forth and I think of my lj buddy Joel going off to serve the Lord and it makes me feel so happy to be around now, at this time. You are a very sweet boy and you make people strive to be their best. Nice work. 

Anyway, I'm rambling, but you take care - I'm rooting for ya.</description>

		<description>Isn't it strange? As I'm preparing more for my mission, I begin to have all these other thoughts, that I know I shouldn't be worried about or thinking about they just kinda happen. If I challenged all that energy into my mission preparing, how amazing would that be? I tried, and needless to say, I failed. You're leaving really soon aren't you?</description>
