It seems that everyone is always waiting

First it was Allison, and then Wistie waiting for a letter. Now it is my turn. Patience is a virtue(or so they say, who is they anyway?) The one person that I would have to call my Best Friend(best guy friend at least) hasn't written me in what seems like for ever but in reality it has only been like 2 1/2 weeks. I write him faithfully. I am quick with my responses, and yet I have to sit around and wait for his. Waiting sucks. Plus his birthday is coming up here in like a month. I don't want to pay the extremely high shipping costs to get it there quickly so I must plan way in advance and then send it 3 weeks early. What do should I get him? What do missionaries need? A tie? boring. A watch? hmmm... Candy? (is that why boys always gain weight on their missions?) I have no idea, I need to do some major thinking on this subject.
