How to send letters & packages
Import duties and customs delays are common here. Many parents send letters or small padded envelopes; declare low values honestly and avoid sending valuables.
- Your missionary can email weekly on P-day (preparation day, usually once a week: their day for errands, letters and rest); 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.
