You can send two kinds of letters through the pouch.  Either a postcard or a letter on one side of a single sheet of paper.  It does not accept envelopes or packages.  If you use a piece of paper it should be folded into three parts as it done when inserting a letter into a business envelope.  The top edge of the sheet should be fastened with tape on the top edge only, no closer than one inch to either side.  Write your return address in the top left corner.  Apply a stamp to the top right corner of the trifolded paper or post card and mail it to church headquarters at this address:

First Week of our Mission

Monday, October 19th on our way to the Provo, UT MTC 

Wouldn't you know it, young elders at the noon meal trying to empty the dispenser of fruit loops. This is part of some 45 bowls of cereal.  I'm sure their mothers would be impressed with such a nutritious lunch. 

Here we are at the beginning of our mission together.  We had a marvelous and very spiritual experience at the MTC.  We are pointing to Kampala, Uganda where we will be living for the next 18 months.

                               

This is our awesome district in the MTC  Elder and Sister Tuttle, Elder and Sister Gillett, Elder and Sister Hernandez, and Elder and Sister Roton. The Tuttles are from Farmington, Utah, the Hernandez are from Washington State, and the Rotons are from  Arizona

 We had some very spiritual experiences in the MTC.  We were split up into districts and we studied and roll played together.  Could we just say that truly the MTC is a sacred place where missionaries taste of the spirit of God before they leave for their assigned areas.  As each of us as a couple shared our testimonies of the restoration and the love of Heavenly Father and his plan of happiness.  We are so ready to serve in Uganda

After our week at the MTC we are departing for Uganda.  The kitchen sink is in one of those suitcases

Alice, sister Gilletts sister, and her husband Gary made a special trip from their home in Blackfoot Idaho (about

3 hours away) just to spend 30 minutes in the Salt Lake airport just prior to our 24 hour journey to Uganda.  Just a few days earlier they were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Ogden temple.  We were privileged to share this special day with them.

We were met at the airport by President and Sister Chatfield and another senior couple assigned to the mission office, Elder and Sister Goodwin.  We only lost all of our luggage, but after two days of suspense the Uganda airport workers brought all missing luggage to the mission office.
