MartinaF, count your many blessings... when I was single the nearest temple meant saving lots of money and taking a plane to the USA which is about 700+ miles a way. I lived not even a Stake, but a Mission and the choices were far from even average. When I met my wife it was in the most unusual manner, (we both come from different countries) but it is something that I prayed for based on my circumstances - so what is the end theme here? Prayer can grant you miracles if you apply it with faith and works.

What a wonderful discussion ... And what wonderful youth we have when they
Desire to do good and keep themselves morally clean.

I found this text for dating while in Arizona:

"CELESTIAL DATING ... OR" "HOW TO PREPARE FOR LIFE AND REALLY FALL IN LOVE ON THE LORD'S TERMS"
By Bishop Steven Satterfield
Three Steps to a Celestial Marriage

Blessings to you in doing what's right ... In seeking to date others who CAN take you to the temple ... And my your search bring you as much happiness as it has brought me!

WOW, thanks for link to the Three Steps to a Celestial Marriage. Even though I am going through a divorce, and will not be doing any dating for quite some time, I found the article to be very uplifting and full of hope and promise. It reminds me what a marriage should truly be about, and gives me hope for that day I am ready to once again date that I can have goals with which to strive for a better union the second time around.

I would appreciate some feedback on the following.

I started dating this cute guy a year ago before he left for his mission, we got along great and then he left for his mission to Peru. We started writing letters back and forth however I noticed that as the time passes we're writing less and less and I met this guy a month ago and I'm starting to like him and I just don't know what to do!

I feel guilty at times because I don't think it's Christ-like to send him a goodbye letter to a guy serving a mission for the Lord! Any advise?

Thank you!

No better time to send that letter... He's stronger now than he will ever be and needs to focus on the work, not you.

If you are feeling this way do it. My wife and I entered the MTC at the same time, so she only had to "Wait" 6 months for me when she got home, and I'm very glad she chose not to date anybody during that time! Our common experience of both serving a missing kept us close.

You'll both change a lot during the two years... If you are feeling this way odds are you are both changing in two different directions, and that's not wrong, it's just real.

My 2¢, there is nothing wrong with trying one date to see how you feel before you decide to "Write the letter". Your post-date feelings will either confirm that you and "John" Are going two directions, or that you should wait for him.

Comments: You're not supposed to be "dating" anyone who is on a mission and I think you need to be honest with him and explain how you feel, don't take too long otherwise he may feel you two are serious when in fact you don't feel the same way.

The best thing to do is to be honest with him, just write him a letter and tell him everything that's the least you can do. Sometimes things aren't just meant to be, we learn form the experience and we move on.

Just write the poor guy the infamous dear John letter and get over it. You should have thought about it more seriously before dating a guy going to serve a mission.
