Info Post: Christmas Care Packages

Hello Friends and Family of Sister Casey,
The mission home has a special request for anyone who would like to send a care package to our missionary. Here they are.


Dear Parents,  
     We are continuing to prepare for Christmas.  We know that you are preparing to send Christmas packages and special letters to your missionary. We would like to ask that all Christmas letters and packages be sent to and arrive at the Mission Office before December 3rd.  All Christmas packages and letters will be given to the missionaries at our annual Mission Christmas Celebration.  The packages will not be opened at that time.  Our hope is that each missionary will have a package under the tree.  The packages will be distributed and given to each missionary at the end of our Celebration, then taken to their apartments. Allow plenty of time for your package to arrive. 
     Please put a Christmas symbol (star, holly, etc.) on the outside of the box, so we can identify that the package is for Christmas.  This is very important!!!
            MISSION OFFICE                4007 Bridgeport Way West  Suite D
                                                            University Place, WA   98466

     We are so excited. Christmas is such a special time in the mission field. 
With our love,
President and Sister Weaver
