Helpful Hints on Keeping in Touch
The following website has been referred to me by multiple sources:http://www.dearelder.com
Any one, whether you're a member of the church or not can register for an account. Then, for the duration of my stay at the MTC (approx 10 weeks), you can send me emails that they'll print out and deliver to me for free. You can also continue to use this service after I leave the MTC, but it's no cheaper than sending a letter yourself.
I would also like to point out to anyone daunted by the idea of writing letters that you all have access to computers and can just as easily type them out and print them off (most word processing programs even have stationary templates you can use to give it a little flair if you want to get really ambitious). The cost (sorry for all you tuning in from International locales, I didn't do the research for you but I already know this off the top of my head for the Yanks) of sending a letter to Hungary from the US is $0.80 and you can buy stamps in this denomination at the post office. It's been my experience that you have to ask for them specifically-but you don't have to buy a whole book, you can just purchase one or five or however many you want and they'll just cut out the desired number from a book.
For anyone daunted at the idea of reading my letters-I often receive compliments on my neat handwriting. For the past few years, I've even addressed my employer's holiday cards. Just let me know if you prefer print because if left to my own devices I generally do things in cursive.
