Preparation Day Change

To all parents and family members of missionaries in the Washington Yakima Mission:

The missionary department recently informed us that our missionary travel day (the day Elders and Sisters arrive from the MTC and return home as their mission is completed) will soon change from Friday to Wednesday.  To accommodate that change, our mission preparation day will move from Wednesday to Monday starting on June 10th.  Our final Wednesday preparation day will be on June 5th. 

As a reminder, the missionary should initiate all text message conversations, online messaging, phone calls, and video chats. If you need to contact your missionary, please contact us first.

Also, the missionary handbook now states that a missionary's communication with friends outside the mission should be through email or letter only.  

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.  We love each of our missionaries and are grateful to be their leaders.  Thank you for your faith and support as we continue in our efforts to invite others to come unto Christ.

Sincerely,

President & Sister Welch
