An additional item in the “Loads of Letters” Package,
At his farewell I left little sheets of paper for friends and family to write notes, quotes, and addresses on. Then I had them spiral bound into this little book that he could take with him on his mission.

| 5) "MTC STIMULUS PACKAGE"- a refill for the MTC SURVIVAL KIT |
 |
|
6) “ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY”
He is on his mission to Rome, so this was a fun package for him to receive during his long weeks in the MTC, an inspirational package with pictures to remind him of the beautiful place he would soon be.

| 7) Easy tip for a quick package: Take your missionary’s favorite drink and write a scripture on it, for a quick refresher (both physically and spiritually!), then wrap it up cute! |

8) "SCRIPTURE POWER-AID" and "PRIESTHOOD POWER-AID"
have fun coming up to make a "play on words" words with your package,
to make what you are sending have a spiritual vibe
9) "MARCH MADNESS"-
he can't watch the big games there,
so send him fun things like the food he would
normally eat while watching it (like in this package)
Keep it fun! - This package is in a bowl that looks like a half of a basketball!
9) "GIFT OF TONGUES"
Learning a foreign language?
This little box is filled with "tongue related" candies!
like warheads, fun dip, pushpops, and pop rocks!
10) "LEAVIN' ON A JETPLANE"
This is a fun one to send right before they head out of the MTC!
Include sparkling cider, for a little "celebratory toast" with the companions,
