Dear Missionary Parents and Friends,
Each year we ask parents and friends of our missionaries to ship Christmas packages early to ensure they are here by Christmas.
We are asking parents and friends to please send all Christmas packages to the Mission Office and are asking that packages arrive on or before December 1. This insures that your missionary will get the package for Christmas without problems. Please address the package as below and also mark on the outside of the box “Christmas Package”. Please note the change in our Mission Office address.

We will deliver Christmas packages at the Christmas Zone Conferences. If you have something special—a family tradition that begins on December 1st and you want your missionary involved—then plan on getting that package to the office by November 15th. We do not open Christmas packages to remove certain items and deliver it to your missionary early. We have Zone Conference the last week of November and again after December 15th. We deliver packages to missionaries at those times only. The next delivery after that will be in January 2015.
Just a reminder that each package valued at $40.00 or more incur local customs charges which along with any COD costs will be deducted from your missionary’s monthly missionary support funds.
We encourage you to be mindful as you purchase for your missionaries. You may wish to include items that they in turn can share with investigators and / or church members. Again, not all missionaries receive the same support from home. Perhaps including something for other missionaries could brighten someone’s Christmas. Missionaries’ focus is on giving of themselves during Christmas, not so much about getting, but they all like to be remembered.
