*ATTENTION*
November 11, 2009
TO: Missionary Families
SUBJECT: (1) Holiday Mail and (2) Mission Visits
(1) With the holiday season at our doorstep, we assume that you may be planning to send mail and packages to your missionaries who are here in the field. If you will follow the suggestions offered, you will help us in the office immensely during this busy time of the year. Also you will have the best assurance that your mailings will get to their desired destination in time.
a. Mail early. Plan to shop and ship in a timely manner.
b. Letter mail should continue to come to the mission office. We faithfully turn the mail around in 24 hours.
c. Packages (UPS, USPS, or FedEx) should be sent DIRECTLY to your missionary. These should be sent before December 15, 2009 as transfers will occur on that day. We will ask your missionary to e-mail you their addresses on Monday, November 16th. We will also ask them to e-mail their new after December 15th. If you have not sent a package to arrive before December 15th, please wait for the new e-mail from your Missionary. (Editor's note: If you intend to send a package to Katie please email me at sarawithanh1@gmail.com for her current street address.)
d. After January 1st, please resume sending everything to the mission office.
(2) Our mission receives many requests from family members who are passing through Las Vegas to visit their missionary serving here or in the northern sector of the mission. We are, regretfully, a convenient thoroughfare for business travelers and vacationers with Utah and California in their plans. We are generally advised not to honor such a request.
Visits by family members are far more disruptive to the work than many realize. We work tirelessly to keep our missionaries focused, battling a multitude of distractions that are naturally here. We ask you to PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ASKING TO VISIT YOUR MISSIONARY IF YOU ARE IN THIS MISSION AREA – FOR HIS/HER SAKE. We constantly express obedience and we appreciate your help in this regard.
Sincerely,
President Kevin D. McCracken
