Letters & packages

Korea Post is reliable; duties may apply on higher-value packages.

• 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

Korean

Korean uses Hangul, a logical alphabet you can learn in days. Honorific speech levels matter; use polite "-yo/-nida" endings. Missionaries are "Jangno" (Elder) and "Jamae" (Sister).

Assignments can include other languages; your call letter states your language.
