I promise you....missionaries LOVE getting letters. I promise you. It's hard to respond to every one because they can only write letters on Pday and it only lasts from 10 am - 5 pm and there is so much to do that sometimes letters go unresponded. But they definitely do not go unappreciated.christineleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019363599837819803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-37009310065905838852012-07-08T15:11:05.447-07:002012-07-08T15:11:05.447-07:00I think if I were a missionary I would want to get...I think if I were a missionary I would want to get letters. Boys or girls it wouldn't matter...I would just want to hear from people back home! Anyway, it was SO good to meet you yesterday!!<br /><a href="http://www.modernmodestbeauty.com" rel="nofollow">Modern Modest Beauty</a>Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320281394910970994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-59358369556172675642012-07-07T07:49:34.365-07:002012-07-07T07:49:34.365-07:00I agree with the first comment most. If you have ...I agree with the first comment most. If you have nothing to tell them...dont write haha.<br />I had several good guy friends I wrote to while they were gone.<br />While I was, a guy I recently had become friends with (and RM) told me that guys didn't exactly expect something to happen, but certainly wondered if anything would.<br />When the first of my group got back..I flat out asked him. (we were like bro and sis so...) He said it was bull. But then another one got home...he was for sure wanting something to happen.<br /><br />In comparing the 2....the 1st guy didnt want anything to happen even before he left...the 2nd guy might have even before he left.<br /><br />AND so....this novel's advice. Depends on your relationship pre-mish. Good luck figuring that out though hahahahaSteph https://www.blogger.com/profile/11453658229572794635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-3522421262698236832012-07-07T07:16:40.733-07:002012-07-07T07:16:40.733-07:00I write like 4 missionary friends and 2 cousins. S...I write like 4 missionary friends and 2 cousins. Sometimes I feel lame and don't wanna write anything so I'll send a good scripture and a "Love ya and praying for ya!" And they've said even that makes their day. And my friend in Korea writes back every 4-5 months but always thanks me for writing him. I guess it could totallly depend on the person though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379419462484582642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-21757933953659201792012-07-06T23:58:27.807-07:002012-07-06T23:58:27.807-07:00Makes sense!

When I wrote fellow friends on their missions (before, during and after mine)I made sure to mention ways to continue to be strengthened spiritually. Definitely keep the letters positive because that goes a long way. :)Sarah Y Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706620567910176473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-86844815642021382522012-07-06T23:14:43.239-07:002012-07-06T23:14:43.239-07:00definitely yay - my brothers serving right now and...definitely yay - my brothers serving right now and i am so grateful for all the people that write him letters because i know that sometimes its hard, and sometimes he gets down and any kind of letter, from anyone, makes his day. dont do it for him or for you, do it because you support what he's doing :) if something happens later it doesn't have to be because you supported him in serving the Lord, thats something you'd do for anyone :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092943764615718833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193327588713890926.post-38321891812853093622012-07-06T21:21:01.790-07:002012-07-06T21:21:01.790-07:00As a complete non-expert in this area, as I have p...As a complete non-expert in this area, as I have promised to write numerous elders and sisters and have written ONE letter, I can't give you any advice.

If not, don't. If you sit down to write a missionary and have no clue what to say to them, that's probably a good hint that you shouldn't. If you constantly wishing they were around to talk to, that's a good hint you should.parkerisspidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097652945709502152noreply@blogger.com
