A Birthday Request

So this is Elaine now...

Sandra's Birthday is coming up on June 16! She will be 23.

Originally when I asked her what she wanted she told me that she wanted a shirt that was not long sleeve not short sleeve but came to her elbowish. And chocolate! Lots of chocolate! But the request from her most recent email revoked that (Although I think every girl should still get chocolate on her birthday) and just asked for presents from Deseret Book or the likes that she can give out to the people in New York who she is loving and serving.

Here is the excerpt:

"So I have a tiny favor to ask of ya..if that's ok. So, in NY we do not have a Deseret book at least not close to where we live...

So, I've been thinking. Since my birthday is coming up...a couple of people have asked me what I want. And here's what I want. No more shirt or whatever I said. I changed my mind haha. So Different people can get me this you don't have to get me all this or whatever.

Well first of all I want you to think missionary. If you were out on a mission what would you give someone who doesn't know who god or Christ is? Or what would you give a man or woman who is having a hard time? What about someone who is struggling with a family member? What would you give someone whose goal is to go to the temple someday? Or is getting baptized soon? Both a child and adult? I want you to think of people who are in need spiritually. Pray about it, and don't spend more than $5. Whatever it is sent, it will mean so much to me. Because of YOU and through me we will be helping the ones who are in greater need of help..spiritually. It will make you, me, and the person whom I choose to deliver whatever you sent me (don't worry I'll pray too) to them."

Sandra's address is

376 S Ocean Ave
Patchogue, NY 11772

Letters probably make great missionary birthday gifts too!
