Letters & packages

Brazil's customs taxes on international packages are high and delays long; many families avoid packages or send only small items after asking the mission office.

Your missionary can email weekly on P-day; letters and packages are optional extras.
Confirm the current mailing address with the mission office or the call packet before sending — offices move.
Small, padded envelopes usually travel faster and cheaper than boxes; declare contents honestly and avoid restricted items.
Mail-by dates for holidays and a calendar reminder are in the interactive guide.

Language

Portuguese

Portuguese has nasal vowels (ão, em, im) and many vowel sounds. Brazilian Portuguese is more open and sing-song; European/African Portuguese swallows unstressed vowels. "Você" is the common "you" in Brazil; "o senhor / a senhora" is respectful.
