Lovest thou me?? Fill my mailbox

In the beginning was the mailbox and the mailbox was void of letters.

2 And the missionaries said "Let the box be filled" and the box was not filled.

3 And the missionaries beheld the continuing void and were not pleased.

4 And lo, it was the first day of the week and there was no mail delivered, but this was good.

5 But on the second day was the mail delivered, yet the box remained empty.

6 Yea, even from the second day unto the seventh was the mail delivered.

7 Even so, the box retained its void.

8 And yea, great mists of darkness spread forth from the void and enshrouded the missionaries. Yea, and did bring much sadness to their otherwise cheery days.

9 Even the long hours of fruitless tracting, being attacked by the fowls of the air, and being pursued by the beasts of the field were not as disheartening as the lack of blessed objects known as letters

10 Yet they persisted

Chapter 2

And, lo, on the second day of the second week, the mists still encircled the mailbox.

2 and on the third day, from within the depths of the void was a single postcard.

3 and this postcard put forth a ray of light that pierced the darkness and overcame the mists.

4 And the missionaries were well pleased, and there was much rejoicing.

5 But, alas, their exclamations of joy were in vain. For the postcard was from someone else.

6 But if their joy was so exceedingly great over someone else's mail, how great would be their joy at partaking of their own mail?

Chapter 3

But some will say, a letter, a letter. We have already written a letter. We have no need to write any more letters.

2 Know ye not that there are more days than one, and more events than one in a day? Why think ye that these events need not be reported?

3 Yea and ye need not worry that your letters will go unanswered.

4 But you should say, I will go and write the letter that a missionary requests. For I know that he giveth no requests except he be prepared to speedily respond.

Chapter 4

And the missionary said unto his friend; lovest thou me?

2 And the friend said, of course I love thee. Then the missionary said, fill my mailbox.

3 He saith a second time, friend, lovest thou me? And the friend said, thou knowest that I love thee. He then said, fill my mailbox.

4 He then spake a third time saying "Lovest thou me?" And the friend said, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee.

5 Then the missionary said "stuff my mailbox before I get home!"
