Pouch Mail

A sister in our ward wrote Elder Lester using the Church's Pouch Mail service and told me that her letter was returned with instructions on how to send a proper letter using that service. So I looked up the instructions and thought I would send them along and place them on the Blog.  I was grateful for this information.
