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.
