"I would suggest staying away from more of the when you miss things.  More of the open after positive experiences."

"We had some friends, leaders, bishop etc. help with the letters! It was a lot of fun!"

Question - "What for you put in them? I doubt I could write a letter for all of them at once! 

Answer - "I had friends, family and even the bishop joined in and wrote a letter it was so fun....that way you don't have to write them all and I think it's a nice surprise to the missionary to see so many were involved."
