Dear Parents:
Thank you for your support of your missionary. The
time is drawing near when our mission office needs to begin making travel plans
for your returning missionary, whose release date is 12 October 2018.
Occasionally, parents express an interest in coming to pick up their
missionary. Please be aware that the First Presidency and the Quorum of
the Twelve discourage parents from doing so. If you still choose to do
so, the following guidelines have been established:
- Your
travel plans must be based on the release date established by the mission
president.
- You
should not request a change in the release date to accommodate other
travel plans or commitments.
- You
should inform the mission president and the Church Travel Office at least
three months in advance if you plan to travel with your missionary.
- You
are expected to make your own travel arrangements for yourselves and your
missionary, including lodging and meals.
Missionaries are not released until they return home and
report to their stake president. Therefore, they must continue to dress
and conduct themselves according to missionary standards during travel from
their missions, including being with a companion (a parent) at all times and
wearing the missionary name badge. Additional instructions from the
Church indicate that you should not impose on members, mission presidents,
missionaries, or other missions as you travel home.
Finally, please help us prepare your missionary’s travel
plans by completing the attached form and returning it as soon as possible
to 2011522@ldschurch.org
We appreciate your understanding.
President J Paul Warnick
Countdown time?
