Where you serve is not as important as how you serve.

Salt Lake City, UT (September 17, 2013) – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints currently operates over 400 missions with more than 75,000 missionaries serving throughout the world. When the missionary age change was announced in the October 2012 general conference, a new wave of prospective missionaries began preparing for the moment they would receive their call.

After receiving the call, missionaries and families often begin their search for specific information on that mission. Until now, there has not been a centralized site to learn about the culture and people of each mission area.

On October 1st, 2013 Deseret Book Company launched an online missionary website, MissionHome.com... a site that specifically focuses on each phase of missionary service—

prepare, serve and return.

It includes helpful hints to prospective missionaries:
How to pack efficiently
How to prepare to leave
Inspiring and authentic experiences from former missionaries. 

It also has a complete mission directory, created by missionaries who themselves have served in that area, which provides information about local customs, food, transportation, safety, and many other insights.

MissionHome.com is easy to use and provides a library of information for prospective and returning missionaries as well as help to families of those currently serving (a section for senior couples will be coming soon).

Familiar LDS authors as well as recently returned missionaries and past mission presidents will be regular contributors to the site.

In addition to great free content and resources, families will be able to send care packages directly to their missionaries with 

guaranteed delivery from Deseret Book. 

Service is available to most missions.

You can select a pre-made package...

OR create your own...

you get to choose from a great collection of music, snacks, health/personal care, totes, jewelry, ties, books, and candy :)
