Letters & packages

Import duties and customs delays are common here. Many parents send small padded envelopes or use the pouch/letter options from the call packet; declare low values honestly and avoid sending valuables.

  • 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

Spanish

Spanish is phonetic: vowels are always a (ah), e (eh), i (ee), o (oh), u (oo). Stress usually falls on the second-to-last syllable unless an accent mark says otherwise. Use "usted" (formal you) with adults until invited to use "tú".

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