He's been gone in the MTC for about a week, and my phone is basically useless now. I don't really have anyone to text my random thoughts to or anything, and therefore rarely runs out of battery any more. Waiting for replies to things is annoying and I'm really not used to not having him there all the time, anytime. AND to top it off, he's down the street from me. I have thought of more ways to get into the MTC and put more thought into it over the last week than most bank robbers put into their plans.
HOWEVER, I love that he is such an example to me and that he is so willing to do what is right and to serve the Lord. Elder Benjamin Thomas Hardy is my best friend and he should be proud of himself for how far he has come. I will always love him and be very proud of him and support him in his decisions, especially this one. There's just one problem left... how much I'm going to miss him.
Ben's last time playing Drums for 2 years
