My thought I wanted to share with everyone during this wonderful time of the year comes from the idea of many people that are not able to be home for the holidays. But maybe I could bring people home in their hearts! I hope to write at least 50 missionaries ( 20 minimum!) who do not normally get mail from anyone ( if not very very few.) I think it is heart breaking that there are so many valiant brother and sisters serving the Lord in the calling of Missionary and yet no writes them. No one shares they goals, and their trials. No one shares they success and heart ache when they have to leave for a transfer. No one shares with them their amazing journey that is serving a mission.
I could not imagine not getting mail. (granted i don't have a large family but i have a very solid family! I have a very easy time because my mother's side of the family are all LDS ( 2 cousins served missions. My mom, and 2 uncles as well as a plethora of others that are not so immediate.) I just couldn't imagine this holiday season not getting any sort of love and encouragement and the days get shorter and the weather gets colder.
I am sending all of the missionaries a little Christmas card and you know what i truly do encourage everyone to write a new missionary this winter season because all 80,000 missionaries deserve to be thought of. They deserve to be remembered in prayers, letters and care packages and I am not letting those who aren't being thought of down! They are just as important and loved!!!! Here is a copy of my Christmas card I shall be sending out.
Merry Christmas Everyone! - Rach
