So... we just received the letter from the mission home about how to send things to our sweet missionary, and rules of contact. So here it is.
The mission office counseled us against sending too much "stuff". They find it is difficult for them at transfer time as well as distracting them from the work. If you feel impressed to send something to Elder Jones, please keep it small and use the following address:
Elder Wesley Jones
Florida Orlando Mission
10502 satellite Blvd, Ste. E
Orlando, FL 32837-8479
The mission has several missionaries with the same last name, so please use Wesley's first name as well as last. Please send all mail through the U.S. Postal Service. These items can be forwarded. UPS and FEDEX do not allow packages to be forwarded which makes it difficult for the mission office. So if you want your package to arrive in a timely fashion, please use USPS.
The mission also has a web page that you can peruse. They post pictures of the missionaries, and posts about what is going on and service opportunities. So check out www.floridaorlandomission.com for additional information. He will be there on December 2, so I would imagine they will have pictures of the new kids on the block shortly after that.
Deep breath, now comes the time for mom to have faith and trust in the Lord to take care of her boy. The CCM wasn't the hard part, it was like sending your child to the dorms. They have food and a roof over their head as well as adult supervision. Now, not so much. Keep the prayers coming, he sure appreciates them and feels the effects.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
