“Sometimes the greatest love is not found in the dramatic scenes that poets and writers immortalize. Often, the greatest manifestations of love are the simple acts of kindness & caring we extend to those we meet along the path of life."

We Love Missionaries and We Love Valentine's Day Care Packages!!!
It is always fun to send our Kiddos a Care Package - but it is Super Fun to send a Box Full of LOVE! Our theme for this box was 'Our Hearts Will Follow You Where Our Eyes Cannot Go!'
♥︎ If you would like to send your own Valentine's Care Package to your Missionary - check out this kit we put together to help you do just that!

★ This kit includes an 18-Page High-Quality PDF File Download for DIY Printables.

★ For Ideas to help you put together the perfect Missionary Care Package, how you can use each Printable, to find links to print General Conference talks and other stories to include in your box - look below!
Our Hearts Will Follow Where Our Eyes Cannot Go! It's always so fun to see the pictures our Missionaries send home of them opening up their crazy boxes decorated in whatever the 'Theme' of the box is.
Most of the boxes we mailed were 12X12X8 or 12X12X5 which meant the flap size was just under 12X6 - so you can simply cut one piece of 12X12 scrapbook paper in half to cover each box flap. (The boxes are Free from the US Post Office)

You can choose whatever size box works best for you. We chose to mail the large 12X12x5 U.S. Postal Service sized box simply for economy - since it was just a few dollars more to send a large box vs. a medium box.

Print Off The Following Conference
Talks & Stories:
(These will be used throughout your box as shown. But you could swap in any talks or stories that you feel would be fun to send to your Missionary!)
