Keep those cards and letters coming!

There are lots of things that make our missionaries smile: 

 "yes, we would love to have you come teach,"  member missionaries,  progressing investigators, 

"Hi missionaries!" shouted from the street, 

Books of Mormon received, Books of Mormon read,

 dogs that don't bite, 

baptisms. 

But right up there with the rest, is mail. 

Happy, wonderful, beautiful letters and packages. 

 And we will  joyfully deliver all that is sent.

Because, this is how they react:

So--happy missionaries. . .

. . . Sad missionaries

Missionaries with mail

Missionaries still looking--

Yes!!! Mail!

 So please--

--take a moment and write a missionary today.  It will bring a smile!*

"Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand."

*I was just looking for happy and sad faces, not missionaries that weren't getting letters :)

We do have a number of missionaries, however,  that do not receive letters or packages ever.  If anyone would like to care for one of these wonderful Elders and Sisters, please email me (Sister Rahlf) saugenase@yahoo.com
