Mailing Information

I received an email from the Brazil MTC this morning! Zack has arrived safely and has been assigned a companion and district.

Please note the post entitled "Farewell" below: The address format has changed and information has been added as per the email from Brazil. His district (32-A) and box No. (46) need to be added to the mailing label.

Important Mailing Information:

Letters:
  • Letters must be mailed directly to the MTC.
  • Letters take one week to arrive.

Other Mail: (I do not think anyone will need this information, except his immediate family)

  • Use GLOBAL PRIORITY ENVELOPE ("Priority Mail") to send anything to the MTC.
  • Global Priority Envelopes or regular priority envelopes arrive fairly safely and quickly (3-4 weeks).
  • Priority boxes work well, but cost more.
  • Do NOT send anything by FEDEX, DHL, UPS, etc. They will not be accepted. (Hence, I gather only US Postal Service mail.)

Additional Information:

  • Do NOT send any packages to the missionary AFTER he has been in Brazil 4 weeks (September 3, 2008).
  • Do NOT send any mail after 7 weeks (September 17, 2008).
  • After these dates, send mail directly to the Mission Home:

Elder (Full Name)
Brazil Santa Maria Mission
R. Alberto Pasqualini, 121 Sala 401
Centro
Santa Maria-RS
97015-010-BRAZIL

Thank you for your love and support of our missionary. It does my heart wonders to know he is in your thoughts and prayers.
