Each day of Zone Conferences (December 10-14) we took the FedEx, UPS, and Parcel Post packages to the conference. At the completion of the car inspections, we would place the packages in the trunks of the missionaries' cars. From that point on, we did not forward packages, because on December 20, 21 and 22, we held Christmas Devotionals. On those days, we loaded the truck with packages, put them in rooms (one room for each zone), and they collected them at the close of the devotional.
These were long days for us, because each day we went back to the office to sort through the mail delivery of that particular day. We'd mail out the cards and letters and sort the packages by zone for next day or future delivery.
Here was our mail delivery on Monday, December 17th.
There were over 60 packages.
Our hallway, December 19, the day before Christmas Devotionals.
All of these packages were taken to the missionaries at the devoationals on December 20, 21, and 22.
Of course, each day, more were delivered by our postal carrier.
Also December 19.
December 24th mail delivery. I didn't get another hallway picture this day, but it was filled up again. All the packages as well as cards and letters were taken to the zone leaders, who saw to it that each missionary got his/her mail. Merry Christmas, Elders and Sisters!
I wish I'd gotten a picture of us sorting the cards and letters. We made 11 piles on the floor (one for each zone), read off the name of the missionary, checked our list, and put the card or letter in the proper pile.
