The missionaries have landed safely in Chicago, have met President and Sister Griffin and are headed towards the Mission Home where they will be oriented, treated to Chicago deep dish pizza and spend the night. President Griffin will interview them tonight and decide who their first companion will be. Tomorrow they will meet their trainer, have training from President Griffin, and then head out to their area. It is a very exciting time.
Just a reminder that our address is:
(Your missionary’s name)
Illinois Chicago West Mission
1319 Butterfield Rd. Suite 522
Downers Grove, IL 60515
The address above is where you should send all of your missionary’s mail and the address you should give to family and friends. It is easier to send letters to the office so that when he/she is transferred we don’t lose mail that is sent to the wrong address. We forward all letters to the correct address. Also, if packages are sent to apartments and the missionaries are not there to receive it, they can be stolen. If they come here we get them out as quickly as we can; although it might take up to three weeks, so please plan ahead for birthdays etc. We take them to meetings or send them out with leaders.
Please make sure that your letters only have paper in them. If you send something else and they are the least bit “puffy” your missionary will be charged as if it is a package.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me either through email or phone.
We are so grateful to have these fine young men and women in our mission. Thank you for sharing your missionary with us.
Thank You
Sister Tolman
Mission Secretary
