Mailing Christmas packages
November 2, 2011
We encourage all family and friends of missionaries to mail Christmas packages to their missionaries
on or before December 1st.
Our mail has quite a journey. All USPS mail comes to the mission office, we update the addresses, and the mail sits until the follow day when it is picked up and taken back to the post office. It is then sorted and sent out a second time, this time headed for the missionary’s apartment.
All packages, other than those sent through USPS, are held in the back room here at the mission office until the zone leaders come into the office and hand deliver them to the missionaries in their zones. Packages sent by USPS get to missionaries more quickly, which is important at Christmas time, than do packages sent by FedEx, UPS, etc.
This year we have transfers on December 20. We always hold incoming mail for the five days before transfers because missionaries are moved to different areas/addresses during this time. This will slow the Christmas mail even more.
Mailing Christmas packages early will insure that your missionary receives them before Christmas.
Thanks,
