Our missionary turned 20 today!
Because our missionary is stateside, we were able to send him gifts through the US Postal Service. Since he has not been out very long, his wish list was relatively short. He had only asked for church music on CD and new ties. (It seems that you can not have enough ties, especially if you have to wear one every day.)
At Deseret Book.com, we were able to find a variety of appropriate music including Come Thou Font of Every Blessing by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and The Best of Jenny Baker. We also found two tie options that we liked: a Nephi necktie with pin and one with an Ammon necktie with pin. With shipping, the cost for one CD and the both ties was about $50.
And because we could not help ourselves, we also sent him a box with a cake mix, frosting, an aluminum pan, balloons, candles and a card with family pictures tucked in the envelope. Call it a party in a box.
In his weekly email, he told us that his mission president had called him this morning and sung "Happy Birthday" to him over the phone. Can I just say that his president rocks! (Wish I could have done that...)
