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
French, Lingala
French spelling has many silent final letters. Nasal vowels (on, an, in) are key. Always greet with "Bonjour" before asking anything, and use "vous" (formal you) with adults.
Assignments can include other languages; your call letter states your language.
