WRITE A SISTER MISSIONARY!
We have the wonderful on-going opportunity of writing the Sister missionaries from our ward.  It's part service, part visiting teaching and 100% a joy.  We currently have 5 sisters out in the field: Melanie Carmack, Annyssa Herlihy Krystyna, Macarena Moreno, Paige Peterson, and Tori Thomas. If you are willing to select a sister to write monthly for 6 months, please let us know. If you are currently writing a sister and would like to continue, you are of course more than welcome. Just let me know that as well. Contact Erica Zimmerman for more info at erica.zimmerman@gmail.com !
