pen pals?

[NaTashaParticipant]

Hi, I am new here so I hope I am doing this right…I am wondering if any other YW leader out there is interested in some pen pals for my mia maids. We live in West Jordan, Ut, USA, so preferably somewhere far enough away that it seems different to them. Maybe another country who understands English would be really fun to exchange letters, american candy, little gifts, ect. with. If you are interested please email NaTasha at **snipped by Jenny for safety’s sake*** Thanks!!

I’d be very, very, VERY wary about hunting for penpals online. Actually, I’d never do it myself. It’s very difficult to prove the identities of any one online, and you could accidentally set up a pen pal with some exotic person who (incredibly) takes a trip to the US and visits “her” friend and turns out to be some nut.

If I were looking for exotic pen pals and I lived in West Jordan, I’d contact someone in my ward whose kid is serving an exotic mission and see if they can pass the word along. That’s a good way to ensure that the youth you contact are actually LDS youth and not internet wackos.
