When my husband was in Brazil, I sent him an Easter package with plastic eggs, candy and little notes. While this is a classic for missionary packages, I recently came across a fresh take on the idea and thought I’d share it. It’s similar to the 12 Days of Christmas: each day, your missionary will get to open a plastic egg containing a scripture and an object. The messages tell, chronologically, of the events of the crucifixion and resurrection.

A simple list of both scriptures and objects can be found at the blog: An Ordinary Mom.

This is a great idea–clever, spiritual, thought-provoking…not to mention inexpensive and easy to ship!
