1973...

I thought this was cute.  When I Googled "fun things to send to lds missionaries" this was one of the top articles.  It's from 1973, but I still giggled at how it could just as well have been written today!  It was geared towards male missionaries, but this could also have been written just a few years ago.  Since the Church lowered the age for Sister missionaries they have now outnumbered the Elders.  I'm sure that's because they lowered it two years for the Sisters and just one year for the Elders.

One of the things I did was go to our local Pac'N Copy and picked up one of each seasonal and fun stationary sheets they sell individually.  I hate my own handwriting, and my thoughts tend to spew out faster than I can write, so I'll print them up and try to hand write a letter every other letter.  My Word printed letters tend to become novels and I know she doesn't have all that much time to read them.  But, I also picked a different font, we'll just pretend I hand wrote them that way.  ;)  And, there actually IS a website you can go to, http://www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts/ where you can find cute handwritten fonts to add to your fonts!  Easy, and free.  My only affiliation with them is I've used their fonts for years and they're fantastic!

Now!  I have to wait a few more days to hear from Sister Dearden!

Love,
Mom
