PACKAGE!

Looks like Caleb did follow the example of his companion!! (Thomas sent Catharine a package today full of stuff too.) Ah. I love this boy so much! No, I take that back, I love this MAN so much. He has truly grown so much since he has left, and will only grow more in the next 21 1/2 months.
So, in my package, I got a shirt (it says South Korea on it, you know the shirts I'm talking about), a 7 page (front and back) letter, tons of pictures, pages from his journal, general conference notes, his drivers license, the collection of songs he sang at conference, a bunch of random papers (like a TRC paper and a cleaning check paper for example) and he sent me a sealed letter that says this on the front of it, "only open on a really miserable day. if reading my other letters dont help and the whole world seems to be against you, give this a try." So cute! (Leanna, I know you and I can just see you saying, I'm not patient enough for that, I'd tear it open! Haha.) Oh my gosh, I am so happy right now. I don't know how many of you know this, but in the 2 1/2 months he's been gone, he has never written 'I love you' in a letter. He's said super cute things, and implied it, but never said it straight out. (** To clarify, he has told me he loves me before. Before the mission we said it to each other all the time. It's just since he has been gone that he hasn't written it to me.) He said it about a million times in this letter!! :) He also told me about the talk on women in the priesthood session, and about how the speaker described the perfect woman. Caleb writes, "You were everything he said. It was an amazing feeling to realize how perfect you are. Sure we both have our faults but with the Lord in both our lives we can become perfect, for him and each other." He said he thought about me through out most of the talks. He also said that before the morning session Motab was singing the song about where love is God is also. He says, "It just really touched me for some reason and I was thinking a lot about you. Just about how our love has God in it. It made me smile but then I wanted to hold you. Oh, well that time will come. I'm glad that I have those memories of you that I can look back on and remember the thoughts and feelings. I guess that will have to do for now." Also in Caleb's conference notes, by the talk about temple marriage, he wrote, "It is so important that we get married in the temple to someone I can be with forever." And the by the side of that there is simple 'B'. You can argue with me, but you can not tell me that that meant anything other than me.
At the end of his letter he wrote a PS. It says, PS I love you so so much.
I literally bawled through this letter. I am so proud of him, and am so lucky to have him in my life. He has made me a better person. He never ceases to amaze me, even though he is not here. I can not wait for him to get out there and to start bringing people unto Christ. That is all he wants to do right now, and I love him for it. Some people say that being apart makes you fall out of love, yet I fall more in love with Caleb every day.
I love him. I love being an MG.

You are so right. The day Aaron gets back, it'll be...the best day ever. Haha. I wish I had had more time to get to know him before he left. You are so lucky to be his best friend. And can I just say that you are also so lucky to have Caleb? You two seem perfect for eachother and I can tell that you really love eachother!
