Letter from the mission president, Pres. Gardner

Elder Page is in the back row, far left.


We got the traditional letter from Elder Page's mission president, Pres. Gardner. He put Elder Page's mailing address in there, plus some helpful info about sending packages, so here it an excerpt:


Elder Page's new address is:


Elder Daniel Page
30 Reinig St
Belgrade, MT 59714


"Missionaries love mail, especially early on.  Just as much as they should be writing to you on a weekly basis, we would hope that you would also write positive, encouraging letter to them every week. (italics added)  It does wonders for the work.  Missionaries are only allowed 30-40 minutes to e-mail each week, so we suggest that a mass mailing or an email forwarding system be established for communicating with the extended family.  


When you send a package for your missionary by way of the Mission Office, please send it by First Class or Priority mail only. That way the package can be forwarded to him without additional cost.  Otherwise, it will cost the same amount again to be forwarded to him.  On the envelope or package, please include their first names, as we have several missionaries with the same last name."


So, some good advice about sending packages!  We're looking forward to Elder Page's next email!
