How this is gonna work: I think...

Hello! My name is Sara. I am Sister Grosland's younger sister. She is in the MTC right now, and I believe she is planning on sending weekly e-mails for everyone to read to update everyone on her mission and how things are going. I know she would love it if you would email her or write her a letter. If you want to email her, go ahead and send the email to Saramg312@gmail.com and I will make sure she gets it. If you want to write her, her address is:
Sister Christine Marie Grosland
MTC Mailbox 159
JPN-TOK 0827
2005 N. 900 E.
Provo, UT 84604-1793
If you dont want to write a big ol' letter for her and just wanna say a little somethin somethin, then just comment on one of these blog posts saying "This is for Christine:" and then your message. End with your full name and I will send her what you said. Thank you so much for your love and prayers. We love you all! Please write her!
-Sara

CONTACT CHRISTINE!

Would you like to send a letter to a real life missionary? Well, here is your chance! You can hand write a letter for Christine and send it in the mail to the following address;

Sister Grosland

Japan Tokyo Mission

4-25-12 Nishi Ochiai

Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo-to 161-0031, Japan

Or you can use Dearelder.com. It costs $1.05, but the letter would get to christine faster than snail mail. The cheapest way to get a letter to her is to send it to me in an email at Saramg312@gmail.com, and ill get it to her.

The gospel is true! <3

Nihongo Key

Throughout Christine's letters, I've been catching on and learning a little bit of Japanese. Instead of putting little inserts in her emails to explain what a word means, Im gonna put a key here so you can learn for yourself. :) If you are an overachiever, you can try using some Nihongo in your letters to her. Im sure it would make her smile.
