<p>Thanks. PO was helpful and I was able to send pre-addressed pre-postaged envelope; I just am not sure he will be able to use it. (I thought I read somewhere that pre-addressed envelopes were not encouraged.) Regardless, I suppose we will find out in a week or so and will try to post the end result.</p>

<p>Side question: Our SR took a very small pocket Bible and now asked us to send his larger book size Bible. Is it OK for me to send a self-addressed pre-postaged evvelope for him to return the other smaller one?</p>

I guess I wasn't too clear... I'm not concerned about someone seeing my FB page. I asked for my FB friends to leave messages of encouragement in one post (kind of like this here) and I was going to print those messages that I would then mail to my son. Then a mom told me not to do that because it would get attention from RDC's (in his mail not my FB page) and He would get made fun of. I actually have only given the address to grandparents because I don't…

I actually have only given the address to grandparents because I don't want someone to send one of the definite "no no" items. If someone asks me for his address I use discretion in who I give it to.<br/>

As long as they aren't obnoxious, music cards, they won't make a mess and they aren't offensive or crude. They'll be fine. I even sent funny little valentines (the kind kids give out in school) for my husband to give to his friends on valentines day, and it was fine.

<p>I have mailed my son a letter/card every day since he left for BC. (got his address from his recruiter) When he called on Saturday, I asked if anything I had done was not okay, and he said, "mom, relax, you are doing just fine". I have send moleskin and bandaids in some, and a calling card. I print a letter on the computer, and include a family photo on the paper with the letter. He said everything was just fine:)</p>
