Christmas Wishes to Our Missionaries 2017

It's that time of year again...time to think about sending Christmas Wishes to all the missionaries serving from the Columbia Maryland Stake.  When I began collecting the photos and verifying addresses there were over 30 missionaries listed as serving from our stake.  But as I began to hear back from parents, I learned that several of them would be returning home prior to Christmas (my own missionary daughter included!)...a couple of these amazing missionaries returned just in the last 2 weeks.  It's always wonderful to gather the photos and see all the smiles and know that behind each smile are difficult days, hard work, long hours, tears and fears.  But also behind each smile there is faith, there is diligence, there is love, there is courage, there is testimony.  How grateful I am for them and their willingness to serve with all their hearts.  We hope our sisters and their families across the Stake will join us this year in sending Christmas cards to each of these missionaries.  While the addresses are available through the LDS Tools app and lds.org - I have compiled them into a Google Doc for your convenience.  At the time of publication, I am still missing one address for a missionary still in the MTC - I will update the Google Doc asap for him.  Some parents did provide specific details on how mail should be sent to their missionaries, so please check for those.  If you want to send a package - please contact the parents directly to ensure you understand any protocols that may apply.  Thanks for supporting our missionaries!
