When the new Elders arrive in the mission, I always break their hearts first thing. I ask them how many left a girlfriend behind, who promised to write faithfully, and wait stoically for the entire two years. When they all raise their hands, I tell them that they WILL get a Dear John. It isn't a question of "if", it's a question of "when". But I promise to help them get through it. I promise that if they call me when they get their Dear John, I will take them out for ice-cream, which makes almost anything better. The call comes every time!
This time it was in the Cannon Zone. I just took ice cream over for the entire zone, and we had a Dear John party I won't tell which particular Elder it was who received the letter. It doesn't really matter, because
everyone gets a Dear John sooner or later!
