Elder Sanford's Baltic Mission: Zone Conference August 2010

Dear Mighty Lithuanian Missionaries,

Attached are photos from zone conference. Thank you so much for your strength and your faith. The Baltic Title of Liberty was a highlight!! :) and the testimony meeting was a spiritual feast. :) :) We are so blessed to be able to serve with you! Thank you for all you do.

Also, I should have announced Elder Mock's name to sing to, (as someone tried to tell me but I wasn't thinking too clearly I guess??) because his birthday was on Sunday, August 8th. He did receive a singing phone call for his birthday, but perhaps he would have preferred a Toblerone. So when you next see him, tell him Happy Birthday a little late! And for you Elder Mock, since you will receive this email as well--I owe you a Toblerone!

We love each of you.

Instructions for sending mail:

We received the following instructions from the mission office:

LETTERS AND CARDS

Each city where missionaries serve has a post office box where they may receive mail directly. However, there is limited forwarding so if they are transferred to a new city, the letter or card may take awhile to get there and there is a risk that it may never get there. It is fairly safe to send a letter or card the first few weeks following a transfer, but risky in the few weeks prior to a transfer. You can always send a letter or card to the mission office at Cesu iela 31-2k2, LV-1012, Riga, Latvia, and we will deliver it to your missionary at the next zone conference. Do not send money or valuables in letters. Post cards are fine. You can also send letters through pouch mail addressed to Baltic Mission, Pouch Mail, 50 E North Temple, Salt Lake City UT 84150, but be sure to follow pouch mail guidelines. Pouch mail arrives at the mission office and will be delivered at the next zone conference.

PACKAGES

Small airmail packages take about 2 weeks to arrive. Packages sent by surface mail can take 2 to 3 months. NEVER INSURE PACKAGES as there will be a stiff customs charge that the missionary will pay from his personal money. Anything over $50 also has a custom charge. In addressing a package, write “Baltic Mission” and then the missionary’s name and the office address. Some postal employees don’t want to give the package to anyone but the missionary to whom it is addressed. If it is addressed to “Baltic Mission” and then the missionary’s name, it might simplify the process.
