Letters & packages

Taiwan postal service 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

Mandarin (Chinese)

Mandarin has four tones plus a neutral tone. Taiwan uses Traditional characters and Zhuyin (bopomofo); pinyin helps beginners. Missionaries are called "Zhanglao" (Elder) and "Zimei" (Sister).
