a Different kind of "Care Package" to missionaries

Friday, I went to the post office and mailed off 3 care packages for the missionaries that are on missions from our Ward. These 3 young men also use to be my seminary students so that makes it even more fun! The last of our RS Qtrly Activity - Service Projects has been taken care of. We asked each sister to write their testimony. Originally I thought it would be so cool for the missionaries to get a package full of testimonies from the Ward members they remember and love back home. Knowing that it would be their teachers and leaders from their youth! But then a member of the RS Presidency who is a return missionary herself said, "and how cool will that be for the missionaries to use our testimonies with their lessons in teaching investigators or inactives, how nice will it be for them to share our testimonies with these people when they feel inspired to do so". And then we even thought that they could put them in with a Book of Mormon they were giving away if they wanted to.....so many uses.....so I was really happy to send these off to Chile, Canada, and California!!!
