I didn't hide my frustration very well when you called last night, did I? It was a big deal when you chose to go to Northwestern College...so far...so expensive. We went with you and checked it out and were convinced. It would be worth it.
You, my devout Christian boy, needed the Christian school with the Christian atmosphere. The college offers Chapel services 3 times a week and a Praise Worship on Sunday evenings. They convinced us that the advisors would be interested in you and help you (something we found that lacking at the colleges of sons #1 & 2). There would be Bible studies available in each dorm and the school is educationally sound as well. They offer Mission Trips and Retreats. There were lots of other opportunities, as well, like intermurals and free concerts and other fun special activities.
Your girlfriend talked her parents into going there too but swears she didn't follow you there. ☺ She, too, fell in love with the school and its' opportunities for growth as well as knowledge. Now after only one semester you have called and told us that "we" want to come back to Missouri and that she has already called to make sure everything will transfer. It is because we are so far away and don't really like it here and it's not what we thought it would be like.
Can you hear my frustration?
These letters contain my thoughts for you, my concerns for you, my rememberances of you, my advice for you, and my prayers for you. I give you my honest heart...if nothing else.
