That is when Elders and Sisters drop in at the office to check for evidence that someone is thinking of them. They get so excited to get a letter that they stand right there in front of the secretary's desk to read their news.

| Sisters Watts, Haymond and Howell have got mail!!! |
Most of the letters from home are delivered through the "pouch" system. They can only be one tri-fold page, stamped and addressed on the back-side.

| This is how pouch mail is delivered to the mission. |
When the pouch folder arrives I get to open it and sort the letters into the correct zones. What a surprise to pull out a letter addressed to ME! Yes! We received our very first real, addressed and stamped, sent through pouch, handwritten MAIL!
What amazing messages of love and encouragement from two of our "missionaries-in-training" back at home. Thank you. We know we are loved!
I wanted to send you mail - I wanted to send you a letter that'd be at the MTCwaiting for you when you got there . . . but we didn't get your addresses in time. Now that you are in the field, I thought you said not to send you mail because the Ukrainian mail system is untrustworthy. I'm so glad that your grandchildren wrote to you . . . I know how much I love to get mail and see that someone loves me . . . unlike Leethe.
