When we were in Kenya, there was talk of "member care." Although the focus for the discussion was how the home office could support the field missionaries, it turned to the subject of the missionaries helping their support to support them. So, here is some of that for you!
It's so easy to turn a 7-year old boy's day around. We had been driving for an hour or two. Drive. Stop, heat, drive, stop, heat, wait… We went to the bank, which is connected to the post office, and suddenly the day was a great success for Ben!
For $2.30, Auntie Beeshee sent two drawings/cards from her children and two Air Heads candies. Air Heads! She used a regular 6" x 9" envelope, but she did have to take it to the post office and fill out a form that they attached to the front of the envelope. I am not exaggera ting when I tell you that a small act like that sends a big impact across the ocean. It communicates love, we miss you, and you are not forgotten!
A regular sized envelope (to send a card or letter) is 98 cents. You can drop it in your mailbox at home!
