I'm a member of the church, and I'm very happy to have the gospel in my life. The person I love a lot will soon go on a mission. I have two questions. How long will it take for them to send a letter back with his departure date? Should we break up now, or can we continue to be boyfriend and girlfriend? Is there any problem with that? Thanks.

Hi friend. It usually takes a few months for the response to come. It's hard to decide whether or not to break up with your missionary boyfriend. Having a girlfriend back home can be a wonderful support for a missionary. On the other hand, it is also very distracting when a girlfriend breaks up with her missionary boyfriend while he is on his mission. You'll have to decide for yourselves what is best. Good luck!
