She carries it all
Whatever you send moves with her from transfer to transfer.
Mon–Fri, 9–5
No one is at the office on weekends to receive deliveries.
Shipping with Amazon, UPS or FedEx
The U.S. Postal Service is easiest. Other carriers, especially Amazon, may try to deliver on weekends or can't find the office. Before you place an Amazon order, open "Add delivery instructions for your order" under the shipping address and paste this:
Please deliver Monday–Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM only; no one is in the office on weekends. The mission office is at the west end of the church building. Look for the brown Washington Seattle Mission Office sign.
Christmas packages
From the mission president's letter to families. The mission has about 228 missionaries and a small mail room, so packages go out as they arrive.

Mail early to beat holiday delays.
- 2
Up to 3 presents, 12 × 12 × 12 in
Some missionaries get fewer packages; let's be sensitive to that.

On both the return address and her address, as shown.

Say when to open it
Write it on the box, like "Open December 25th" or "Open when we talk again."
