What do you call it...when strong feelings for a person remain as powerful as the first day even after decades of separation?

I must leave you now friends but not because I wish to, bye.

Hello Again,

RR and Claudia,

'Love and sad' two key words in my memory when I think about MF.
Claudia you do not realize what your asking me when you say you would like to hear the story. Like I said, few souls know and now I don't think I could tell the whole world. However I do feel there is a moral to the story that could benefit some of you younger ones so let me see if I could muster the courage. It always feel sooo good to go there with my thoughts so here goes...

Years ago back when I was a young single reg. pioneer and MS I transfered to a local foreign language congregation to serve where there was greater need. She had moved there some time before together with several other pioneer sisters from a more distant place for the same reasons.
As pioneers we soon got to see more of each other. The Cong gave us pioneers the royal treatment, supporting us in many ways. Infact we had a schedule for meals each day of the week; morning,lunch and dinner. As pioneers we spent long days together. Door to door, return visits and especially bible studies. Not to mention all the meetings including the bookstudy. Inbrief something wonderful was beginning to brew for me. What were 90 hrs a month when when your in great company?

I can still recall the evening I fell in love with her. We were doing a return call. We were walking away from the house. The air was crisp and very cold with fresh powdered snow on the ground and a full moon. She was talking to me but I don't remember a word at all, all I could remember is thinking how beautiful she was. I had fallen in love.Who needed the Kingdom to come when I was already in heaven!

There was a fatal glitch to my dream come true. I had already learned that she was secretly seeing this guy who was studing. The elders had warned her that because of her previledged position she should not be seen with him in public until he was baptized.

There I was in love and didn't know what to do. Other than body language I never let her know openly that I was interested in her. One elder friend advised me to go ahead to give her a try. I never did. I felt I couldn't because she had never given me enough reason to believe she may have had similar feelings for me.

One day I asked her "How do you know when mister right comes along". She replied "A trusted girlfriend of mine said to marry the guy who is serious enough to propose marriage as his intent on dating you."

Later after she was married I actually asked her if she could have ever been interested in a boy like me. She replied "I had already
given my a promise to _ _ _ _ that we would be wed".

Finally after several years in their presence I couldn't take it any longer and moved far away.

Moral lesson "You will never get what you don't ask for".

Thanks for listening, it felt good to revisit that space in time.

Martini.
Happy Holidays
