A Weekly Letter to Your Missionary
"Messages to Inspire and Strengthen Elders and Sisters"
A book written by Jeffrey Erickson
Missions can be challenging, and regular contact with loved ones at home can be a massive help. Challenges arise every single day, and having someone back home cheering them on and inspiring them can make all the difference.
However, coming up with new insightful and spiritual topics to share with your missionary out in the field week after week is not an easy task.
This book will not only help you come up with inspirational topics/messages, but it will help you write them in your own voice so that the words are coming from you rather than just a quote pulled from the latest articles or talks. This will help your missionary find their inner strength and become even more powerful in the Lord's service.
Write more effective letters, and help your loved one out in the field have the most fulfilling mission they can.
Inspire your missionary to work through trials and create impactful habits.
Give your missionary new ideas and insights that will help increase opportunities to teach investigators.
Instead of creating a travel log of stories from home, help your missionary focus during this special time.
“Every missionary loves getting mail! This book will hit the spot. In a day of text messages and instagrams, Brother Erickson has revived the art of letter writing. His motivating messages will help missionaries let go of the world, dig a deep foundation, and become “corner carriers” who bring others to Christ. They will also provide helpful models for parents and leaders who want to learn how to write effective missionary letters themselves.”
—Brad Wilcox,
BYU professor and author of The Continuous Atonement and Changed Through His Grace

"As the mother of a missionary in the Ukraine, I love getting our weekly letters from Jeff. They give me insights that I haven't thought of before to write my son about. He loves them each week as he prints them off, uses them to study different topics during his scripture study, and loves having them on hand as a guide for talks and lessons in the field. These letters are uplifting, inspirational and gospel-rich, which are perfect for our missionaries to read."
Kelly Breinholt
Missionary Mother
"Brother Erickson shares some of the small and simple things he has gleamed from a lifetime of experiences. He gives gentle encouragement, expressions of faith, and advice for everyday problems that a missionary will encounter. My thought is that every mission president’s life would be blessed if he had this book to use to teach his missionaries. I had the blessing of having my son serve a mission and receive weekly letters from Brother Erickson. I also received these same letters, and I was thrilled that my son was able to read them."
Dan Wardrop
Missionary Father
"The fact that Brother Erickson didn’t shy away from the hardships and realities of a mission really made me feel like he was writing to me. He did it in a way that showed me not only why we go through those challenges almost hourly as missionaries, but also how we can rely on the Savior to “endure them well.” There were many times when I printed these emails out to share with mission companions, at conferences, or even just for my own personal use because they always seemed so applicable to the situations I was in at the time. I recommend these letters to not only all missionaries, but to all members and nonmembers who are seeking to connect spiritually to their Savior and overcome their weaknesses through His strengthening power."
