A great topic! As an LDS missionary, receiving mail from loved ones back home can be a wonderful way to feel connected and uplifted during your mission. Here are some tips and ideas for sending mail to your missionary:

What to Send:

  1. Letters: Write letters to your missionary regularly. Share stories, news, and updates about your family and friends.
