As our 4 (so far) missionaries have served, I have collected inspirational, teaching, and motivational articles and stories--sending one with each letter.   Since I have a large collection now, I wanted others to be able to benefit from them also.   So now, as each missionary leaves from our ward, I give a "Missionary Packet" to his/her parents (in a large manilla envelope), with a cover letter, inviting them to send one of the enclosed articles  with each of their letters.  I print them on both sides of the paper to save weight, and pre-punch them for convenience.  I also give a 3-ring binder to send with the missionary to put the papers in as they are received (to use for talks, helping other missionaries, etc.).

        I invite you to give them to any missionaries you know also.   Let's all do all we can to strengthen our army of missionaries and increase their effectiveness!
