I'm in the middle of writing support letters for my summer missions trip to Canada. On Monday, I bought 200 stamps, 300 labels, 125 long envelopes, 160 small envelopes, and made 180 copies of my letter and response card. The total cost of these supplies was $101.60.

Fortunately, most of the people I'm giving a letter to are in the Bay Area, so I save on postage by being able to hand them the letter. But it's also good to send letters to people outside of Berkeley because many of them are working and are more capable of supporting me financially.

The most time-consuming part of support letters is writing the individual notes. I'm currently on the "C"s, so I have a long way to go. Let me know if you want one, and I'll make sure to get it to you.
