From the Mission President:
"Dear Brother and Sister Molinari, we were thrilled to welcome your son to the France, Paris mission today. As you can see, he arrived safely. Thank you for sharing him with us for two years. We look forward to working with him."
Dear Brother and Sister Molinari, we were thrilled to welcome your son to the France, Paris mission today. As you can see, he arrived safely. Thank you for sharing him with us for two years. We look forward to working with him.
Included in his letter was also a very useful tidbit on sending packages to Elder Molinari:
"Parents often wonder about sending letters and/or packages to their missionary and many of you have asked about the extreme cost of sending packages to Europe to your missionaries. Our advice is to not send packages—if you want to treat your missionary, send money and let them spend it here. The reason for this is because packages are very often not received, if they are received they take a while to get out to the missionary, and, most often, the customs charges are exorbitant. If you list anything for over $25, the customs can be very expensive. Recently we received a package with a value of $50 and the missionary had to pay $56 in customs. We’ve had missionaries have to pay customs charges for over $100. So be aware! Some parents have had good luck ordering from Amazon.fr or Amazon.co.ukand have saved on shipping as well as not having to pay customs charges. Another site to check out is Ravbox.com—a local company with an English website, quick service, American products, and great delivery record to our office."
